Hello!!!!!! Here are some pictures from our time in Maryland. I know other people have posted about the coldplay concert, but Chels was getting on me for not posting so here it is once again:) Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer, and here is a quote that someone gave to Liz and she gave to me because she is such an awesome sister who cares for my soul and encourages me with wisdom and godliness. I LOVE IT... reminds me of how foolish it is of me to think that i am running this race by my own strength. 

"The BEST place

is wherever He puts us, and any other would be undeniably

all the worse because it would please our fancy

and would be of our own choice.

Do not think about DISTANT events. This uneasiness

about the future is unwholesome for you.

We must LEAVE to God all

that depends on Him and think only of being faithful in all

that depends upon ourselves."

Alas, the Wisdoms are Gone

  This past Thursday I had my wisdom teeth taken out. All four were impacted, which simply means they hadn't come through yet and so instead of being pulled they had to be cut out. There were concerns about a nerve that was very close to my bottom teeth and about possibly fracturing my jaw(I guess my jaw bone is very small), but the Lord allowed there to be no complications. Yesterday I felt fine after the surgery, I was somewhat walking around and talking a lot.  Well today is a bit different. I didn't get much sleep and overnight my mouth got WAY swollen. So I am just laying around watching tv (Princess Diaries- the best) and blogging. My Mom and sisters have been taking such good care of me. I don't have to lift a finger. Thank you guys. Thanks everyone who called me or text me-i love getting them. Thanks Mel, Joey, and Beau for stopping by and for the giftcard - that was so kind and meant a lot to me. Ok, so that's what has been going on with me. Can't wait to see everyone on Sunday.  

    "... For you, O Lord are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upo you... for you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. for great is your steadfast love towards me; you have delivered my soul!!!"  Psalm 86:5, 10
