FREEDOM

For the Moore's, July was a time to embrace and celebrate our freedoms.

The month began with a short visit with my parents from Pennsylvania. We enjoyed getting to show them around Tuscaloosa.

On July 4th we celebrated our independence with a few close friends, time at the pool, a cookout, a very cute puppy named Buckley, and a few sparklers.

All summer the kids have been enjoying freedom from daycare and I have declared my independence from cooking and cleaning thanks to the arrival of Nana (My Mom) in June.

As if I was not spoiled enough having been relieved of my household duties, I got to enjoy a little freedom from work at the beach with my Dad, stepmom, Ellie, Jackson, and my nephews Zachary and Ethan.




The weekend after we returned from the beach, we were very blessed to host three girls and their counselor from Kenya. The girls were members of the Daraja African Children's Choir. My time spent with these precious children was a blessed reminder of the freedom I have in Christ. The joy these children possess despite their circumstances is truly God-given and inspirational.

Before July was over I was able to get away one last time and attend my cousin's wedding. Talk about freedom - no kids, no husband, no responsibilities.


Unfortunately "All good things must come to an end." July will soon be gone and Nana is headed back to SC very soon. We have had an awesome summer but i am looking forward to the new school year. That's all for now, gotta go buy some school supplies.
