Pool Adventures and iThirst

On Wednesday, we went to our friends' house to go swim for the first time this year. This is usually a bit nerve-wracking, since Ben is a daredevil and wants to jump in without any floaties and Drew is scared of water that is over his head. Wednesday, however, Drew for the first time EVER jumped off the diving board and did not require an adult holding his hand the entire time. I have never been prouder of him. He took a huge step in conquering his fears and just going for it. He was so much fun to watch. Ben continued in his daredevil ways. :) They cannonballed and splashed and had a blast. Everyone for the first time was able to enjoy the evening at the pool. One giant leap for our family!

Tonight, Steve and I got to go to iThirst, which was a rally of sorts, with Christian music and a salvation presentation. In addition to the great music, the movie clips and drama were very thought-provoking. Makes you stop and think about how you are living and how many people are searching for something to fill the void in their lives. Even knowing Jesus, I struggle with things constantly. I cannot begin to imagine how someone with no hope can cope with the obstacles in life. Also, the iThirst team is taking a trip to Honduras to share the message and music. That would be such a thrill - music, Spanish, and sharing the message of Jesus. Could not get much better! :)

Well, that's today's two cents. Looking forward to a relaxing, great weekend with the family. :)
