Cousins and Courage!





Brennan and Sammy got to play the role of Guest Train Conductor and say ALL ABOARD!


We, the sisters, took the cousins (minus Katy due to illness) to the Magic Kingdom.
Our Goal?
Ride the Mountains.
Thunder and Splash!
(and have fun!)
It took a little convincing to get them on Thunder Mountain...
Fortunately we hit the ride with a VERY little line and practically walked on..
Outcome? THEY LOVED IT!




Next Splash!
I personally hate Splash Mountain.. don't like big drops!
But for the sake of my sweet neices and nephew, I went on it and was SCARED to death!
There were some tears when the kids got in line, but we all did it!
Outcome: THEY LOVED IT! (and I like it better now)
Another outcome? We got soaked!
Bonus: I found TSHIRTS at a store in the Magic Kingdom for $8.99!
So, 4 of the 5 cousins got a new shirt!
(katy got one too!)



We also rode Aladdins Magic Carpet AND saw the Enchanted Tiki Room!




We had a fun day together and I was so proud of the cousins for their courage!
(a little proud of me too for not jumping off the boat when I was scared!)

Their names are in the Book of Life and Angels are

Philippians 4:3
Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers,
whose names are in the book of life.

Today was no ordinary day.  After church today, my sis and I threw the kids in the vans and whisked them off to the Magic Kingdom.  Great weather, good crowds proved for an ordinary day visiting a theme park.  

Evidently on the way to church, my sister had very serious talks with my neices and nephew about asking Jesus into their hearts.  They had a lot of questions and she answered them ... and then told them to ask Aunt Kimmy - me - about it later in the day.

So, each one, (Bren and Shan before the 3:00 parade and Morg before the Spectromagic Parade) throughout the day, came up to me and told me they wanted to pray to ask Jesus into their heart.  It was AWESOME to hear them say it and then pray it.  It was amazing that God (and Jen) allowed me to walk with them through this life changing decision. I was humbled by the responsibility.  

Through Sunday School, Pioneer Clubs, Pastor Billy's sermons and the influence fo believers around them, they chose to follow Jesus.  Please pray for them on their journey as the Lord reveals to them their purpose.

Angels are dancing tonight!
