Pine Cove Bluffs

We had a wonderful week at Pine Cove Family Camp!!! We were on a waiting list with the desire to go to Week #7 at the Bluffs camp in Tyler, TX. My sister, cousin and our friends the Freeman family all went this week and we were so fortunate to be able to go. On July 4th we got the call asking us if we still wanted to come to camp. We were so excited and signed ourselves up. The hustle to pack and get ready was fun, until Reid got sick on Friday afternoon. As a mom I was thinking God you opened up this opportunity, and with Reid sick...how are we still going to be able to go and not get everyone sick. I got him to the doctor and the antibiotics made him feel better and by Sunday right before we were going to load up he started playing and crawling around. I thanked Jesus and off we were to camp! Camps are always fun and filled with many activities. Reid had a great counselor named Cinder Bella who took care of him while mommy and daddy went water tubing, horseback riding, and Bible study. The Lord had us at camp this week to refuel our marriage and teach us both how to depend on the Lord for our needs. He also taught us how to establish our family with a passion to want to be like Jesus, and that we would teach His truths to our child. As soon as we returned home we felt the devil at work trying to kill and destroy the truths we hold in our hearts. Our prayer is that as we draw closer to Jesus that our home will be a reflection of Him, and his blessings/grace that He so easily gives to us.

Our verse from the week: 1 Peter 3:8-9 "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, becuase to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing."
