Little Bit

K, I only have time for a little tiny post so I shall do the point by point thing again, sorry folks.
* Last Friday when we were headed out from camping I called Gladys to tell her that I was going to be a little late and she reminded me, a little late, that I was supposed to clean on Thursday, so we decided that
I would clean on Saturday afternoon.
*Saturday was one of those days that you work ALL day long, from ten till nine thirty to be exact.
Mom went to pick up Val for Susan and Herbs surprise birthday party and did not get home till ten, and she found us all down stairs watching a movie, we got the brainy idea to go watch a movie at nine thirty. Why do Grabers do the things they do?
* Sunday morning was lovely, Val went to church with us and Susan was VERY surprised :) :) :)
Marv preached on Having the Mind of Christ and afterwords Lance and Noah headed over to the gym to make sure it was open for our "volley ball game".
*The gym was not open so we all scrambled around at the pavilion across from our place and people started showing up, it was interesting seeing all the different people from all the different back grounds.
*Herb said he knew that something was up but did not have any idea how many people would be there and Susan was very surprised :)
* Monday I started Drivers Ed. and other than getting there late because we could not find the class room, and we thought that it started later than it really did, it went really well. Its really interesting looking at all the different people in that class, the girl who asked questions like crazy, they guy who drones out the answers to her question from the back row in a bored tone and is always stretching like he just woke up, the girl who dyed her hair black underneath and blond on top... That looks weird btw, don't try it!... The guy who looks like he can't be a whole lot older than Brad... And the girl who actually talks to those weird girls who always come late (Eileen and I).
*NBCC went really good last night, there were only five kids though, about half of what we had been having. You can all be praying that they all keep coming this summer. We usually have hardly any children during the summer. You can also be praying that we would have the wisdom to answer the questions that they are begining to ask. Last night the question was "who made God?", some of the others are, "does everybody have a guardian angel?", and, "how could Noah live to be that old?".
I don't think we ever did convince them that Noah really did live to be "that" , old! :)
*Anyways its time for me to get going. Have a great rest of the week! :)

Camping

You should have seen all the ticks....

I think we three youngest were all guilty of violating this sign.

Mom cut out three dresses.

The trailer was a little crowded... Just kidding, Mom wanted a picture.

Guess what this is.

That's MY sister! :)

... Amy has informed me that SHE took this picture :)...

I was busy doing the dishes and Amy and Brad found a big hole on the edge of one of the fields.
We headed out last night at five or so and it was VERY dusting, by this morning it was VERY, VERY muddy.

When you dont understand...

"Trust His Heart"
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry
He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

When you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

Like What

Mom says I should post about something interesting. So I shall... Point by point! :)
* We had an end of the school year picnic Saturday. FUN!!!
* I stayed up late that night talking to Amy and Anna and Naomi, after crying because I was not in NE with the other girls... Silly me...
* Had a lovely church service Sunday morning. Terrible volleyball. And Abbey and Hannah showed up Sunday evening.
*Stayed up till one watching a movie and then slept down in the basement with Mom because all the guys were gone camping and down stairs had AC.
* Monday morning did odd's n end's around here and Mom and Abbey went up to the Library and got three more movies , we played Settlers with Dad until ten then we girls all headed out to the camper to watch a movie, we finished up at one and then came in and had root beer floats and showers and watched another movie, till three...
*Which is why I was so incredibly tired at NBCC last night. We had six children, who were all feeling a little cranky. But over all it went pretty well... Some day I'm going to remember to take the camera so I can make a poster for church.
*We also went over to Mullets and we girls went swimming in their pool while the guys went to the lake... It was WONDERFUL to be in the water again! :)
*And now it is time for me to go change the laundry.

Taking pictures.

I was taking pictures when we went on our walk last night. Brad was sure that I was going to be "road kill" when I stopped in the middle of the road to take this picture. He was also sure that garage doors, shed doors, and mail boxes are odd things to take pictures of. So I explained how he would never find another mail box just like it so that meant it deserved to have its picture taken... Not sure if he believed me or not... He did find an old banana skin someone had thrown out the window, tilted his head back and held it over his mouth and told me to take a picture, not sure why something like that is worthy of a picture when cute garage doors are not! -Frank
