Celebrating Mom(s)

So, last Sunday- I was going to be very studious and get this post right on my blog... But nothing was turning out and I was very tired. So I like deleted it and now- I decided that with all the events that have happened so far- it may-as-well just go ahead and be a post. So!

Mother's Day- After Sunday School we hit the road- Lancaster bound. And got in there around 1... We met my Uncle & Aunt and watched the Make-A-Wish parade at the bowling alley in Brownstown... I made the best out of it, since I overheard Mom & Dad discussing that we are probably going to NY over Transport for Christ the end of June... 

Here's a few pictures from the day... Sadly, I missed grabbing a picture of my uncle's truck- he had gotten a new one and I didn't even realize it was him until I saw the guy in the truck- I'm like- "What the world! There goes Jonathan!"

And then- Wednesday... I went with Dad! {yes, that's rare! My life has gotten SO busy in the last month or so- it's not even right!} Saw parts of PA that I maybe saw once to never in my lifetime. To say the least it was an interesting day- even though, now I'm dreaming of actually going to Pittsburgh to see people I actually KNOW!! :)

And then-- Saturday, I kept my brothers' company (or they kept mine) at the Mall... Around 3:30 Dad calls and asked for Randall- I hand over the phone, and they're discussing desserts! I'm thinking Mom mustn't know what to make for lunch! Until he gets off the phone and says the guys are making the Fellowship Meal at church! 

So this morning- Eldwin says that the guys made the meal, and they are preparing the basement for it too. NONE OF THE LADIES OR GIRLS ALLOWED! okay, cool! :) And man, if that wasn't a feast to remember! They made stuff we dare not even try, because it'd take too much time!

Thanks for the pictures +Reuben Hege (Dad!!!!)

& a sorry to all the people who decided to check out this post and realized that trucks are actually boring to them- 'cause whether I'm the trucker's daughter or not- they still make up at least 3/4 of me!!! :)

it's a Wonderful Day!

Well, I must say- it was a very wonderful day! This was the first time Ernest Witmer came to church since Rachel died in 2012... The accident happened in November- 2 months after they had come to show us all the work they are doing out there- I didn't think it'd be quite the emotional time it was, but yeah, it was great having him there!! I love his optimistic outlook on life- and the picture of the mountain lion with LA in the background and him saying, "I do want to go to Heaven to be with Rachel, but I don't think I want to go this way..." Such an inspiration to me- even when I haven't experienced even close to what he has- or even a major "Mt. St. Helen's Explosion" like he talked about... Well, we've all had those (I believe)- those times when life just got us down, felt like nothing but awful things were happening. And foresight only showed dry, deserted(ness), but what we can't see is under that dry, flaky ash- is the new life beginning to come forth- a resurrection of the new life that is about to happen in us. If we keep our hearts open and willing to receive everything God wants for us. All in all, Ernest & the family have had a big impact on my life whether they knew it or not!!

And by the way- I love this picture of LA... in the dark!! ;)
