Averi and Ty
It rained for 4 days straight while I was there.
My new love… a hound dog. I couldn’t stop petting Pearl and shaking her HUGE ears!
A week ago I drove up to Chatfield, Texas, a town of about 10 houses with a church, cemetery and farm road. Well the most precious family I know lives there, The Howards. I have written about them before since I normally take a few days out of each year to visit them, and this time was even more special because I went alone and had them all to myself. Kind of selfish, I know, but when you meet them you will understand. Carol will speak things into your life that make you feel loved, comforted and encouraged to live a life in the Lord with fervant zeal! We talked about everything and when I left I felt refreshed. The Howards are the leaders of the Cowboy Church of Ennis and they are preaching the meat of God’s word. If you live near the south Dallas area and are looking for a place to connect with people who care and are 100% transparent while learning the deep things of God, then drive on up to the country church in Ennis. It’s right off the highway. I am so proud to call them my friends. While I was there I had some of the best chicken and dumplins of my life, stayed up and talked with their 3 young girls, travelled up to IKEA for hours and spent quality time on the farm. It rained the entire time I was there and all of my sessions had to reschedule, or I would have had a ton more to blog about this week! I also got to see an old friend from Stillwater (where the Howards used to live and where Josh is from), Averi. She has recently had her firstborn son, Ty, and he is the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen! It was fun catching up with her while I was there. Can’t wait for my next fall trip of 2010!:)
