Promiseland...

Saturday, we entered 'Promiseland'...
AFTER all of the complaining!

Alllll morning I heard,
"When are we going to be there?
When we will leave?
Why is it taking so long?
How much longer?
I don't want to wait anymore!
What will we do when we get there?
I want to go NOW!"

I got a teesy weensy taste of what God went through hearing the Israelites complain all of those 40 years!
I went through it for about 3 hours and about lost my mind!

Our Promiseland was a bit different I am sure but we did have fun!

Our weekend consisted of lots of music, people sharing the true Word of God, and LOTS of fun!


We first started with a picnic...
Then we all grabbed a chair...
And watched the 3rd strongest man in the world,
AKA~ Big Bubba,
 blow up a hot water bottle with his OWN lungs
 and give an AMAZING testimony of what God has done in his life!
The kids LOVED riding this...
and climbing this!
We watched 'Big Bubba' play tug of war against 6 other guys
Firehouse Children's Ministry was there to share the love of Christ with the smallest of the crowd
And to cool off, there was a HUGE water slide
(I did take part but REFUSE to show pictures!)
I prefer that you all return to this blog!
There was more of this...
and this...
Then some singing and praising

 And more cooling off
(The dark clouds in the background, stayed there all day but never came towards us!)
There was also some of this by the little one

 After praising there was praying! 
I love seeing those little heads bowed talking to our Savior!
I enjoyed the scenery!
Those are lily pads in a pond all in bloom!

There was frisbee

and I'm not sure what they are looking at...

And LOTS of friends, fellowship and love!

The Promiseland Fest was an amazing time of seeing God's love pouring out and overflowing!
Many lives were touched and changed by the moving of the Holy Spirit!
Can't wait to do it again next year!

OH that sounds fun! We used to go to family camp/church camp when we were kids. I have some good memories of it! Glad you all got a "vacation"! :-)
