Trip to Washington, D.C and Maryland

We just got back from a trip to Maryland for my nephew's graduation and all my family was there. It was great to get to visit with all of them and to get the chance to know my nephew better, along with his girlfriend and his friends that he will be sharing a house with. He is a great young man and we are looking forward to what his future will hold for him. While we were there, we got to see a few of the sights - My favorite memorial is the Lincoln Memorial and it is so impressive to see it up close! We also saw the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial. We then went to the National Archives where the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights and the Constitution are held - it is a truly impressivie and inspiring thing to see and you can feel the history behind each one! My very favorite place to go is the Botanical Gardens where there are hundreds of all kinds of flowers, especially orchids! I had a blast in there taking pictures! My mother Nell went with us and the picture here is her at the Botanical Gardens - she love flowers too!

Starting a new venture here!

This is my 1st experience with blogs and was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading what I have to say - but at least I can journal my thoughts here and thought I would try it out!

Just finished reading Beth Moore's book, So Long Insecurity as a bible study I do with some other ladies on Tuesdays in Aztec. It is a great book and I learned so much about myself and how insecurities have so many of us enslaved to them and it is time we took back our dignity and become and start acting like the victorious children of the King that He intended for us to be!

One question she asks at the end of the book is this: What is your passion? What matters to you? As you draw your last breath, what do you want your life to have been about? It has me thinking and I want to truly search out my heart and seek God to see what He wants me to do.

How about you??
