May has already been busy. My sister's family with seven kids came to visit for a week. We had a good time showing them some of Maine's beauty. We spent a few hours at tide pools, flew kites on the beach, and then went to watch seals for awhile a little further north of our house. We were also able to show them the naval ships being built in Bath.
We had a ladies' tea on Mother's Day weekend, and my sister shared her journey with her son Joel who was born with a heart condition and several other crazy medical conditions. The ladies enjoyed getting to know the family they have been praying for for the last two years.
Sunday was Mother's Day. My brother-in-law spoke in the Sunday morning service, and the kids sang. Unfortunately, I somehow did not get the camera to record the sermon. We had a good crowd in church. I cooked Mother's Day dinner which included a lamb roast which everyone said tasted like roast beef. The kids were not impressed with trying it when they knew it was lamb. We had two ladies from church come for dinner as well.
My birthday was the 10th. After a crazy morning, we went out to dinner at a cajun boil restaurant. Afterwards, we had cake which my niece decorated to look like an ocean. My sister and brother-in-law decorated the room with a travel theme. It was a fun time.
Over the last few weeks, I've been collecting stuffed animals for Guyana.I have quite a few already, and several more people plan to bring more. These animals will be given to the VBS kids as prizes.
Please continue to pray for the upcoming trip to Guyana. There is still a lot of prep work to complete. The girls have both raised a good chunk of money, and I am happy to see them see how God can provide when you step out on faith.
My mom got some different news regarding her hip muscle tears. After two years, we she was finally seen by someone who seems to know the exact reason she is continuing to have so many problems, constant pain... She does have tears in the muscle, but this new doctor also believes she has an issue with the hamstring which is the constant pain issue. Surgery is not recommended. Therapy is the best option, and now knowing all the problems, hopefully they will get the right kind of therapy.
I haven't mentioned it in awhile, but there is still an unspoken situation which needs lots of prayer. God can do miracles, but people have to be willing to let Him.
