Camping.

We went camping at the MalibuXRVXPark yesterday and today. We were there for the first time last August and we LOVED it. It was my first time camping in a tent. They have RV set-ups (of course, lol!) and a tent area. Every site (almost) has an ocean view. My favorite part is that you can hear the ocean waves at night when you go to sleep. Oh, and there are no bugs really--except ants, but they didn't visit us this year :) Oh, and the bathrooms (with showers) are super clean 24/7. They also have a rec room, a game room, and a jacuzzi. Yeah, camping at its best! And did I mention, it's right off of PCH, so you can also go to the beach?!

So we went yesterday and came back today. It was so adorable to see Carlos with my husband. He is at the age where he totally idolizes his Daddy, and wants to be just like him when he grows up. And he wants to help him do everything. So while Carlito was setting up the tent, he very eagerly exclaims, "I want to help you, Daddy." So Daddy very obligingly gave him a simple task, and Carlos busied himself with accomplishing it. And he kept exclaiming at each stage of setting the tent up, "Wow, Daddy, how do you do that?" So sweet. Words can't express the feelings that come over me when I hear stuff like that.


It was a lot of work for just a 24-hour camping getaway, but it was totally worth it.


Oh, and Donna, just as an FYI, this seems to be a popular spot for French tourists. There were some in the campground next to us last year, and we met a French guy this time (he was "borrowing" our campground to take a shot of the sunset with his fancy, shmancy camera). But, unfortunately, like most French people, he was very private, and after a few minutes of superficial conversation, he very politely excused himself. Darn, I wanted to talk the rest of the night. I wanted him to bring his family over so we could chat until bedtime. Oh well.


These are some pictures I took last year when we were there.


This is Carlito relaxing after setting up the tent.


This is Ashley showing off our ocean view.


This is Carlos looking at me with a worried expression because he thought he would get in trouble for burying his stuffed dragon in the dirt (frankly, I was just happy he was quietly entertaining himself while I set up the camp).


And this shows us playing pool in the rec room.

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big picture that He has shown me so far?  Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

By Carmela
Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life.  😊  Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God.  I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not.  He is such a good God, and such a big God.  😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau
