Tim McGraw - Still (Official Video)
I love finding God in everything I hear and see. Often I find God and faith in country music. It's a genre of music I grew up listening to and have always loved. I hope you enjoy this video and believe the truth in it.

Life With Balance
"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 40: 30-31
Some women have the gift of serving others, and they serve until they can't stand up anymore. You might be one of those women. You think, I don't have time to rest, and I really don't have time to be sick. But let's face it: sometimes our human bodies wear out. We get sick or just plain tired. That's when we can ask for help from the One who is the source of healing and strength. Jesus is still in the miracles business. Ask him to heal your body, mind, and spirit. And keep in mind that there's nothing wrong with finding the healthy balance by meeting your own needs so you can continue to meet the needs of others.
Are you doing a good job serving others as well as caring for your own needs? How are you doing in taking care of yourself?
A Devotional from the Busy Mom's Bible

Lakemont Park
When I was a kid, there was one event I looked forward to every summer--Lakemont Park! My cousins and I would all get together, and make the 2 hour drive to Altoona, PA for the day. I would describe Lakemont as an amusement park for children 12 and under, although your older children will probably have fun too. It is filled with carnival rides, a water park, and one roller coaster, much like the "Comet" at Hershey Park. One of the best parts about the park, is that you can spend all day having fun there, for a fraction of the cost of other amusement park, or even the local fair! Regular admission is $9.95, but every Wednesday they discount tickets to $3! ($1 when I was a kid!). Not only that, but it is a pretty well kept secret, and I've never seen the park super busy. My last trip there was about 3 summers ago, and even then, if you had to wait in a line, it was usually less than 5 minutes. Many rides do not have a wait!
There are other things there that have a cost (go-carts, arcade, mini golf) but these activities are still reasonably priced. Unless reserved for the day, they also have pavilions available so you can bring your own lunch, or purchase one there. Parking at the park is also free. My daughter is still too young to enjoy Lakemont, but when she is older, it will no doubt be an annual event. My niece and nephew will be visiting this summer, and I can not wait to take them!
Check out their website, www.lakemontparkfun.com. It's a lot of fun, and I'm sure your kids would love it! If you go, you must ride the Toboggan--my personal favorite!

What is Prayer?
Is it measured words that are memorized,
Forcefully said and dramatized,
Offered with pomp and with arrogant pride
In words unmatched to the feelings inside?
No... prayer is so often just words unspoken
Whispered in tears by a heart that is broken...
For God is already deeply aware
Of the burdens that we find too heavy to bear,
And all we need do is to seek Him in prayer
And without a word He will help us to bear
Our trials and troubles--our sickness and sorrow
And show us the way to a brighter tomorrow...
There's no need at all for IMPRESSIVE PRAYER
For the minute we seek God HE IS ALREADY THERE!
