Preaching & Teaching!!! -8/10

This morning I preached at Clear Water. Our daughter church if you will. It is outside at a campground. camping is very popular here. People will stay at 1 place all summer. Go to work and come back here. So this is their church every Sunday. Mike led worship for me before and after. It is great that we can work together like that.
People, How do I get this rotated. It was upright in my pic folder.??? Okay. Every week they provide donuts which in turn provides motivation for my children. To hustle before church and to sit quietly. Lovely. But my point in taking this photo was Em's wardrobe. She has her name-embroidered back pack and another purse. WHAT???
My older girls love to sit at their own table in restaurants whenever they are able/allowed. BUT today Camm would not budge in desire to sit w/them. It was perfect there were 3 seats but the HEIGHT TERRIFIED ME. I would have sat with them only the other tables with more stools were taken and that sort of defeats the point.
SO I sat an arms length away and could barely breath let alone enjoy my burrito.
LOOK HOW BIG THEY'VE become. My baby is no longer in a high chair, can feed herself, and wants to be removed from me. WHAT?????
But I was so proud (I was beaming) and protective (hoping they could accomplish their sense of Independence and accomplishment) those emotions overrode any fears.
YES... I get sad but I also am hopeful & thankful. At who they've become already. And my desires for the future rile up my excitement towards their advancing ages!!!

LOOK AT THEM!! MY 3 GIRLS! I AM SO PROUD! ~Except for the very large, uneaten, quesadilla that Camm dropped on the floor, unable to reach. Which is now useless to us.~
MORAL HERE: FREEDOM COMES W/ A COST. ALWAYS DOES!
