Some pictures, a request, and a Word

We now bring you another exciting vacation moment, courtesy of the Heigh-Ho house. This is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It is the tallest lighthouse in Florida (even though the St. Augustine Lighthouse has ten more steps. I'm not complaining, though. I don't think I could have climbed ten more steps.) One of the cool things about this lighthouse is that it is smack dippity-doo-dab in the middle of a neighborhood. Which means that I could buy a house next door to it and fulfill my dream of living in a lighthouse (sort of) and not be responsible for climbing all 203 steps every day. (Although I suppose I would have killer calf muscles if I did climb it everyday. Assuming I lived through the multiple heart attacks that would be certain to follow my climbing everyday.)

What I learned on my summer vacation: Don't climb a lighthouse wearing a skirt.






A Prayer Request:

Please pray for Amanda's sister, Joanna today if you have a moment or two. She and a group of youth from our church are returning from their mission trip to Kenya. You can read a little about what they've been up to here.

And a Word:

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7

Blessings!

That would be a great bumper sticker, Don't Visit a Lighthouse Wearing a Skirt!

Have a blessed day.

It would be so cool to live in a neighborhood that has a lighthouse! What a cool picture! I will pray for Joanna today! I am listening to your song, "Cry Out To Jesus". My sister-in-law introduced me to it just yesterday! I had never heard it before then. I know God wanted me to hear it again. Thank you, Karen for sharing it with me today! It's funny, she also shared "Praise You in This Storm". It's so hard to Praise Him in the midst of a storm. I SO want to learn to do it! For now, I'll cry out to Jesus!
Praising Him for you, today!
Love you,
Angie xoxo
