Another Trip to the Beach!!

Last week, Ryan and I went to the beach with my family. We usually go the week of July 4th. This year was great because my entire extended family was there---my bro and family were in from Chicago, my sister and all her family, my little brother, Mama Scott and all my aunts and uncles. We weren't all in the same house but it was so nice to be able to walk over and see them all. 

We spent most of the week soaking up the sun during the day and sitting by the turtle nest at night. My mom is in LOVE with sea turtles and one laid a nest right beside our boardwalk. The week of the 4th was right in line with the time it was supposed to hatch and so she wanted us out there every night keeping an eye out to see if the nest would hatch. It actually hatched the night after R and I left the beach!! R and I are also training for a half marathon, so we were doing some running during the beach vacation as well. And you know we found time for some Starbucks. We also celebrated the 4th together, watched and participated in the golf cart parade and got a beach-front view to watch some beautiful fireworks that night. All around, it was a great trip!

In honor of all the "turtle"business with my mom, my sister and I made up a rap to perform for her and had a shirt made for her. It was really fun and I think she really enjoyed it....

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
