You know it's been a busy week when you struggle to even come up with a decent title for a blog post! We headed back to western Nebraska last weekend and spent five busy days connecting with family, friends and supporters in various ways.
Thursday we stopped in Sidney to share watermelon at the park. The group was small, but we got to share about our new ministry to people that we hadn't had the chance to do that with before. On Friday we attended the memorial service for a friend; it was sad to think of his passing, but so good to visit with his wife and hear how God is working there.
Saturday found Tim out on the golf course early in the morning while Gwen met an old school friend for breakfast. Both of us were encouraged by these meetings and enjoyed catching up. That afternoon we headed out to the lake with Tim's family and relaxed for a couple of hours while enjoying God's creation.
On Sunday we attended church at Calvary Memorial in Gering and then held a spaghetti feed to let people know more about our work in Kansas. What a blessing to sit and chat with friends and family! Monday found us throwing a surprise birthday party for Tyson. We met some of his friends and their families at Vedawoo for cake and climbing.
We finally headed home on Tuesday. Now we're trying to catch up...planning for a big conference mid-July, getting the word out about fall events, and doing our best to promote this ministry. Pray for us as we seek to follow God's guidance and to serve the people who come to Shepherd's Staff in the best way possible.
It looks like the family was having a great time. Everyone needs to relax and see the beauty that God has for us. Love the pictures.
