Today, I put together a montage of our visits to Glen Eyrie Castle and the Airforce Academy, so I thought I would share this with you!
Be sure to turn off the music at the bottom of the page before playing the video! =-)

"What a Day!"
Wow! Today, was so busy!!! We had a scheduled appointment to meet with the travel reg, but before we left we half heartedly got the house ready to show - just in case...
When we got to the Air Force Academy, where our meeting was, we got a call saying someone did in fact want to see the house!
Ouch!
What a lesson we learned - we must put our whole heart into it when we go anywhere since no one knows when someone might want to see the house.
When we got the feedback a while ago, it was AMAZING! Praise the Lord - they loved the house and this home has moved up on their list, and they loved everything we love about living here, the incredible views, golf course, cul-de-sac, yard, etc. --- even though they're still looking... *sigh*
God knows our needs and wants, and this is time we must let go and let God - now that I just said that, I guess in ALL things that's just the way it is, we must give our lives over to our King of Kings!
Well, since we were out anyway, we decided to see the chapel at the Air Force Academy - it was simply stunning! We took a hike there and although it was only 1/3 mile one way, it packed quite a punch! We loved it though as you can see in the pictures! The children thought they were in a race - they ran up and down the trail and they 'sometimes' had to wait paitently for us to catch up to them! What a wonderful world to see through such precious children's eyes!
It's so like God that He gives us this wonderful opportunity to be parents and allow us to have fun with the children and see things like racing down a trail - as the same as racing through life and loving the journey! Yes this did make me start thinking about all the verses in the Bible that pertain to racing or competition! (I'll share later!) =0)
After our meeting to set up our moving date, we took some pictures with some jets and then had another meeting across town with our realtor - then off we went to play putt-putt and afterwards, we decided to go to our favorite Italian Restaurant! They leave a huge bottle of olive oil with herbs at the table to eat with your bread - yummy! Our family demolished the bread, we had worked up such an appetite. =-)
As I look back over today, I am so thankful to God that He has given me such a wonderful family! We're just like any family, we have our moments of laughter and squabbles, but overall, we're in it to win it!
Going back to verses pertaining to racing and competition, this is the one I chose, although there are many!
Hebrews 12:1 - 2
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Blessings to you and your family this Easter week!
