The Tipping FamilyRedefining Normal

Renie and Dustin had their baby on Wednesday night, Jack is here! He weighed a little over 6 lbs.  Renie has been so calm during the whole thing.  It has been neat to watch her learning new stuff constantly and seeing her and Dustin jumping right in to being parents.  I wouldn’t have missed being at the hospital on Wednesday for anything.  Renie and Dustin are two of our best friends here in Columbia who we share life with.  Hopefully, they are getting home today and settled in a little bit.  Love you guys!

Exciting…got my bag back!  For those of you read the last post on trip to Arizona, my bag got stolen in Vegas, and somehow it made its way to Charlotte, and it got FedEXed to me on Wednesday!!!  Yeah, crazy story, the Chief Security Officer in Charlotte found me on Facebook, and sent a message to me on Sunday, asking if I had lost a bag? I immediately wrote back, yes, yes, I did! He told me it had been turned into security in Charlotte.  They are guessing the person that took it was probably on the plane with me all the way to Charlotte, and then turned it in there, my bag also had my itinerary in it too??? All I know is I got it back, and everything was still there, PRAISE GOD!!  

Camp-Go Camp this week… this is a camp Midtown has done for the past 4 years with youth from different churches.  There were close to 200 folks total involved in the week.  The youth stay out at CIU, and then go into the city to serve on a daily basis.  I helped out with one of our kid’s camp sites, which was a lot of fun.  I do wish we would have had more children, but it is always a neat thing to see the youth loving on the kids and building relationships.  I also confess I didn’t come in to the week with full energy, and probably didn’t give it 100%!  Overall, think the week went well  and hopefully our hearts are more and more transformed to serve.  

Allen is amazing! Just wanted to comment briefly that I have been blessed with an incredible husband, who never stops loving.  He was pretty busy this week with things with Go Camp, but really did awesome.  I am very thankful that I get to serve alongside of him. Thanks for loving me, Allen.

Persevere, I keep thinking about this! I feel like I need to do a lot of that right now…not dealing with things the best right now, just pretty blah…but I still trust!

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July Weekend!  By the way, know this way of blogging was a little cheesy, just wanted to do something a little differently!!
