Is 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways" says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Santa Cruz!
We have company!! My husband's sister, her hubby and their boys (whom we haven't seen in 5 years), and Kawika's mom (who we haven't seen in 10 years!) flew in from PA on Tuesday this week and we are soooo enjoying having them and catching up on lost time! We decided to take advantage of a deal...Bring in a soda can with the "boardwalk coupon" printed on it and get admission for 9.99 each! Regular $30 without it!! Sooo off we went with our cans in hand! We rode and rode the night away on rides! Last time I was in Santa Cruz was 14 years ago for our high school grad trip! It seemed so much busier and crazier...
We invited Luauana and Kawika's Dad and his wife Beth (but Beth couldn't make it unforunatly) and also Kawika's mom's grandson who lives in Sacramento (who would be Kawika's nephew who we met for the first time!)
We are learning as a family to love Christ and treasure Him above all things in this world. Nothing compares to knowing Him and His saving grace on sinners such as ourselves!! I (the mom) am the blogger here. As the years go by, God is teaching just how prideful I am and how desperately humble he needs to make me. I like to say that as I get to know Christ more, I see my sinful self more and more clearly, it's not pretty. But I have hope! Cause "he's still workin' on me, to make me what I ought to be"! I am married to my best friend and the one who never ceases to bless my life year after year...We have four children, two born of our hearts and two bio children, who bring such joy to our home! And let's not forget to mention lots of blessed "craziness"!!!
God has been teaching us that the things that we have and own, our talents, our gifts, our time all belong to us to show the world who Christ is and to enjoy laying down our own lives that another might recieve JOY!
