After the chaos and storms this week … Choosing to take today to unpack and unwind. Praying to be back up and fully functional again by Monday.

Home sweet Texas home

Home! Just a few more hours …. At La Guardia getting ready to board …. The most important thing is getting home to my 3 boys – my husband and our fur babies … After Sunday’s scare, I am going to love on them like crazy! 5:30 arrival can’t get here fast enough.

Learn to be flexible

I only thought yesterday was my last day at sea …. At only 10 knots we won’t actually get into Bayonne until 9p … Thank you Southwest for your flexibility and I will get home tomorrow!

Read your Bible more
February 9, 2016
It’s my surprise last day on the Anthem and the final day to make the time to take in the vastness and majestic wonder of God. With everything that went down, I am so grateful to have the chance to spend a half day in prayer … Me, God, His Word and His creation. Wow!

Heading back to Bayonne
February 8, 2016
In almost 30 years of cruising …. I have never experienced anything like I did last night …. Top winds near 180 mph and seas over 50′. I was literally bobbing on a 168,000 ton cork with 5,000 of my closest friends. I’m grateful the captain did his job and the ship held fast ….
There is some significant damage to the ship, but people are safe. A little worn and ragged, but safe 😊

Nothing Beats Sea Days
February 7, 2016
I love being on a cruise ship at sea. Looking out over the ocean and seeing nothing but sea and sky – For me, this is one of the places that I am most aware of God … how big he must be to create all of this and yet he knows how many hairs are on my head!
I am so grateful for such a big God right now with the storms we are in … Nothing like being sent to our cabin for safety reasons at 3p!
Job 11:7 “Do you think you can explain the mystery of God? Do you think you can diagram God Almighty? God is far higher than you can imagine,far deeper than you can comprehend, Stretching farther than earth’s horizons,far wider than the endless ocean.

Never forget September 11th
February 5, 2016
Today I visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum … Do you remember where you were when the Twin Towers were hit? I was at work and I will never forget the call I got from Thad. He worked for a satellite training network and was surrounded by televisions and he saw the footage over and over and over again … I have a friend that lost her mom on a flight into one of the towers and another that lost a cousin at the Pentagon. I think our world changed that day. What we all considered safe was no more. Definitions and descriptions changed. Al Qaeda became a household term. People remembered to be proud of being American. I pray we find our godly heritage again with this next election.

Vacation is finally here
February 4, 2016
I am a total planner down to the nitty gritty detail … I plan and prepare and plan some more. It doesn’t matter if it is a dream trip booked over a year in advance or a last minute get away …. For me the planning build excitement and at the same time it can make it feel further away than it really is …. and …. that makes day one that much sweeter! Today my mom and I head out for our annual mother daughter journey – Happy Vacation!
