Ok, now I know that you are interested ;) this has been a very interesting week……
We were on our way to Hilton Head Island. Spent the night in Jacksonville at a rest. stop. bad. idea. It was PACKED and we filled the very last spot. Then THREE truckers pulled in and parked illegally around us ( in front, back and side, we were in the last row at the very end) and all three left their engines on. ( oh, I forgot to mention that this was all at 1:07 am) so we had to go to an actual RV park. But that's ok, a small adventure. <|:-)
Mom and Dad on a date night!
Anyway, the next morning we drove to Hilton Head Island the drive was absolutely gorgeous! The RV park Motorcoach Resort was VERY nice, huge pool, recreation center, even the laundry room was fabulous:) the only part I did not like was the 2009 Prevost that parked next to us pulling a beamer ( painted to match) and a hummer. It was the nicest Motorcoach I have EVER seen… ( that was an RV envy moment) :)
That night Dad, Joseph and I went in search of a Publix (grocery store) and a Starbucks via bike. Both were 1 mile away from where we were staying, but it took us 6 miles to get there. We were a tad confused directionally…
After a few days of R&R we headed for the Young family’s house in Mt. Pleasant, SC! (The Young's have a blog click here to see it ) we experienced true southern hospitality here, they were so sweet and we enjoyed every moment of our stay! THANK YOU YOUNG FAMILY FOR HAVING US! Mom and Dad enjoyed excellent conversation with the Young’s and the Ezzo’s on the back porch and enjoyed Mrs.Young’s DELiCOUS chocolate chip cookies!
May Saturday the 16th
The Young’s and the Ezzo’s (the Ezzo’s are the leaders of Growing Families International click here to see their blog) took us on a tour of Charleston in a horse drawn carriage. There is so much history there it was very interesting! For lunch we had fish and chips. It was really good! Mr. Ezzo said they weren't as good as the ones in Australia though (the Young’s and the Ezzo’s just came back from Australia one week ago). Charleston is absolutely beautiful and so relaxed… in a word, wonderful.
Mr. Ezzo took us on a boat ride. It was really fun, Thank you Mr.Ezzo!
May Sunday the 17th:
We left the Young's to head for Williamsburg, the whole drive there was heavy rain and at about 6:30 Dad decided to find an RV park and call it a night. On the way there we watched a video about NASA history (it was a documentary) and this episode was about the Challenger tragedy, just EXACTLY when the challenger exploded on the TV screen BOTH of our rear tires fell off… Dad was thankfully able to grind (literally) to a halt on the shoulder. We praise the Lord for our safety.
When the 911 personnel arrived they were amazed that NO ONE WAS HURT and that the vehicle did not topple over and crush in the back.
But just before the 911 people arrived two ladies arrived to help and make sure that we were safe and everything was all right. Mom and Dad were able to bless and pray with them.
The officers had to transport us in 3 cruisers to a hotel where we are at now, we don’t really know the damage yet but we do know that God is in control and HE orders our steps.
Please do pray for us!
Psalms 112 Praise the lord for all who fear God and trust in him are blessed beyond expression, YES happy is the man who delights in his command his children shall be honored every where for good men’s sons have a special inheritance.
Psalms 34:7 The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him who revere and worship Him with awe and each of them He delivers.
Psalms 91:12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
You will hear from us soon! thank you for your prayers!
