21 Days of Prayer for Sons

Exciting news! On September 6 I will be leading a 21 day journey of prayer for sons. Warrior Prayers is signing up participants for the Fall challenge now on their website, http://www.warriorprayers.com/ , if you are a mom of boys, a grandma of boys, a caretaker of boys, grab this chance to pray for the guys in your life in the areas they need it most.

I believe this 21 days that we will spend praying for our boys will be amazing, and will have lasting results. God will move in us and mold us more into the image of His Son as we spend time praying Scripture over the boys in our lives.

Come join me on this fabulous journey and invite others to come along too! Go on over to warrior prayers an sign up today. When you sign up, if you'd like to be in my group, go down to what type of group you would prefer on the sign up form and check other, then type my first and last name in Shelly Roy.

Hope to see you for the 21 day challenge!

Good news!

For those of you who have been patiently waiting for me to move out of the Land of Denial, I have good news. I packed this morning and moved my abode to the Land of Living Vicariously. At this moment, the land is rather cramped and filled with a rumbling noise. Alyssa is somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean winging her way to Switzerland where she will begin a five country European vacation. I am SO glad I was able to arrange to go with her! I am sure I will enjoy the tour much more than the toe surgery that is in my near future in real life.
Check back soon for pictures from the European traveller!

Cool, cool summer

Our summer so far has been rather on the cool side. Today was 63 degrees and we were feeling pretty warm! Our annual July first swim at Aleknagik Lake was postponed because it was 49 degrees and raining on July 1st. So, for us, July first came 10 days later and the kids all braved the frigid water while I sat in the sun . I took the kids to the harbor this afternoon and they were longing to go in the water. Amazing how warm low 60's can be. It is 9 pm and Thomas and Dillon are playing outside in the sunshine. With such wet weather I can't find it in me to make them come in yet. Maybe after I finish this post.

Ron's youngest brother Brian spent the first week of July with us. Backing the Toyota up to the the boat trailer, I was struck by how well the brothers communicated with calm and unhurried hand signals. You would have thought they had been together frequently, and not been separated for 10 years.(Quite a difference from when I direct Ron as he is backing up to the boat! ) They took the boys camping on the lakes when Brian determined he would rather fight with smaller fish, than king salmon. He caught the largest fish of the trip at 24". He went home a happy fisherman. Ron and Brian, Thomas and Dillon also got the stair railing on our stairs. Hooray! No more boys leaping from the stairs to the chin up bar, no more thumps as they land on the floor from 5 stairs up and no worry about slipping on the steps. My man has just finished the long handrail 16 feet on the wall. I can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for stopping in to catch up on our doings! Hope to see you again soon!
