Algonquin

Marissa, Lydia, and myself went with out church to Algonquin Canada on Aug. 15 thru Aug. 22.
We went with a group of 30 people. We traveled a total of 75 miles. We carried backpacks weighing over 40lbs. and canoed and portaged the dry land. The terrain was rough, walking on rocks, roots and 90 degree hills. I was unable to carry the canoe, but thankful for the young boys of our group that carried them through the dry land. It seemed that we canoed forever, but at the end of the trip I was in shape.

We slept in tents and drank the water from the lake. The first night I encounterd a bear, that went up to my tent, but walked away. So our nights were very interesting.

My girls did great, and we thank the Lord for helping us get us through it.

I Am a Kept Woman

THE NEWS IS OUT, I AM A KEPT WOMAN





A Kept Woman I am a 'Kept' Woman You see, there were a few times when I thought Iwould lose my mind, But GOD keptme sane. (Isa. 26:3)There were times when I thought I could go no longer,But the LORD keptme moving. (Gen 28:15)At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom Ifelt had done me wrong, But the LORD keptmy mouth shut.. (Psa. 13)Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, But GOD has helped me to keepthe lights on, the water on,the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)When I thought I would fall, HE keptme up. When I thought I was weak, HE keptme strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt.11:28-30) I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hearme! I'm blessed to be 'kept'Do you know a 'kept' woman?If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'Kept'I'm "Kept"by the Love and Grace of God
