Amy Shelly loves John Pope

I visited John in Raleigh on his Easter break. I enjoyed every minute. It was hard to part at the airport we started to get used to being able to talk face-to-face every day.
Here we are at the Atlantic ocean - Topsail Island. (We bought navy tee-shirts too.) The beach was so peaceful and such a sunny day to relax. I even was nice and played football with him! (it turned out to be fun)
We ate out at Molli's seafood, and took our time taking pictures, finding seashells, people watching, and taking in some memories. I decided which pizza place I liked the most in Raleigh - Lilly's!! Not to say we didn't have any conflict but God really blesses us with restoration with each other. Understanding. And teachability. I really love him so much.

April already?

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. My mother and I are both very aware of his love of apple pie! We purchased some of their Hawaii pictures they took while vacationing in Nov-Dec.
Arizona spring weather is so nice recently it's been really windy but the warmer weather starts to cheer me up. Another source of joy is God's word. Ps. 77:11-12 "I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds." Earlier Joshua crosses the Jordan river and God continually wants us to build a memorial of some-sorts to teach our children what God does for us. (In Deut. chapter 6)
My blessings our indeed numerous and I have been reminded to praise Him for them with thanksgiving. He reminded me of the many people that are an encouragement in my faith. I also hope to "impress them on [my] children" someday. God willingly and lovingly sets memorial stones in my path so I will be reminded of His glory worked out in my life's journeys.
