Firefighters weekend at Hume!

What a blessed weekend we had at our firefighters conference. I knew I was going to love the speaker when he opened by saying that fireman were a bit skitsofrenic (spelling) I got to thinking about that and how true it really is. At work they have to be leaders. At the sound of the bell they have to be brave, at the scene of horrific death and destruction they have to shut down and go on auto pilot, they have to be humble and be heros. Then they come home and have to sensitive and kind and tuned in. They need to relate to us and our kids. They wear many different hats. I loved how Charles Cooper was able to express that this weekend. How he was able to reach in and touch my heart and reach me where I was at as a firemans wife. Not many people can do that unless they are in the same boat. Below is the view that we woke up to every morning. Breathtaking. Our speaker said our relationship with the Lord should be something that we have no words for. Something that moves us to a place that is so intimate and profound that we cant descirbe it. Otherwise we are missing out. We have to rise above and get serious about who he is and what he desires for us. I love this picture of the boat dock because in the summer it is so full of kids and the water is so crazy; this is so soothing and calm. I cant wait to go back in June with the girls!

Powerful, all knowing, serious, abba, strength, not whimpy, stillness, the beginning and the end, provider & much more.
