This past week was heavy. Heavy for my heart, mind, and soul. There are so many bad things going on in this world, but I keep looking for the good. (even when you may think there is no good left, just keep searching especially for Jesus). People may not agree all the time or even at all, but guess what? That is the amazing thing about life and living in America, everyone has their own opinion and THAT IS OK, however it is NOT ok to harm others for that ever, period. Even though I have witnessed sorrow, sadness, and even anger, I have also seen grace and hope in these situations.

Well, mama’s house has officially been raised! It is a little over 5 and a half feet high. I never in all my life thought that our slab house would be able to be lifted but praise the Lord it has been. You can keep up with the in’s and out’s of this process on my Facebook page. I will try to have better pictures of it this week.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. Stay hydrated and cool, the coolish weather has been nice, but it is still warm. Until next time…..
