Missouri, Illinois

Labor Day weekend three of us made the trip down to Warrenton, Illinois to visit Daniel and see where he was attending school and to meet some of his friends! So worth the trip!

CMI headquarters - so excited for what God has in store for this guy!

Me and my best friend! So thankful to be able to spend a bit of time with him - even if we didn't get too much one on one time - we were together!

The zoo - watching the Puffins!

Us - in a cave!?

The Graham Cave a few miles from our hotel. Notice the one standing on top the cave! Was a lovely state park, but a very humid day!

The three that made the trip

The oldest church in St. Louis

It was a very short trip as we both had work/school to get to - but thankful for the opportunity to spend some time with Daniel as all summer we didn't get to see each other much. And thankful for the opportunity to get to know Shantel more and had some good chats with her and Faith!

We made it back in time for work!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Lewiston, NY

Had been way to long since I had visited my friends in Lewiston and with a few days off I had to take the time! They are all growing up so fast, in a way I feel as though I've missed a big chunk of their lives, however I can't be everywhere I'd like all the time - learning to enjoy the moments we do get! The handsome little man We ventured on a get-away to Toronto for a few days- stayed in a lovely hotel and had lots of fun together! Then visited the Peoples Church on Sunday - was really neat to see Charles Price face-to-face and hear him speak. Not quite what I was expecting in the church building, but neat experience! Walking along the lakeshore with some beauts! Montana's serves the best stake for a nice price! Love these girls and love who they are becoming! It's always a treat to spend some time alone with them! Love you all! And yes!! Finally got to meet the two newest additions to the Heikoop Fami...

Baptiste Lake- 2013

Once again this summer we were blessed to be able to spend a week up on Baptiste Lake. Chris was able to come up for the first part of the week and Mark the end - so thankful that both special guys were able to be a part of it this summer:) Didn't get a lot of good pictures this summer, but here you can see the two cottages we stayed in! The beautiful lake At the locks we learned "Everyone wants everything for free" - hey Aaron:) When we got there we realized we didn't know the code for the cottage and the rental place was already closed down for the night or so we though - it wasn't technically a break in - we just had to go through the window Generally every summer we find our way to Eagles Nest - always such a lovely spot to lookout! Making my mark in the wood:) The love-birds Have some interesting poses You can kind of see the look-out from this picture - the scenery up there is beaut...
