I'm back home from the Journey! What an incredibly awesome week! It's hard to put into words what a Journey to the Heart is like...it isn't about a program or rules or curriculum, it's about your heart connecting with God's heart. If spend time seeking God and allow Him cleanse your heart...there's just nothing like it in the world!
So now...the real journey begins!
The next event for me is a "Journey to the Heart" from July 11 - 21. I'm very excited about this opportunity and would appreciate your prayers while I am gone! I won't be updating my blog while I'm gone so be sure to check back on the 22 or 23 for updates and pictures from the trip!
"For a week you will explore various types of heart conditions and identify the attitudes of the heart that please God. You will follow a syllabus and schedule that are based on 40 years of youth ministry, enjoying times of group discussion, personal time with God, rich fellowship, prayer, singing, journaling, and walks through the woods. You and your team of ten to twelve will stay in a beautiful home on the lake or a section in the conference center lodge."

Sunday afternoon Caleb and I drove down to Smithville TX to the first Bed and Breakfast "The Katy House." Smithville is an old historic train town from when the Katy trains used run. The town is also in the Guinness world book of records for baking the world's largest gingerbread man.
We got to stay in "The Conductor's Quarters" room which apparently use to be actual conductor's quarters. The Katy House has the oldest existing Katy Caboose in the backyard and the couple there are in the process of restoring it! We starting shooting Monday morning and finished up around noon. After lunch we headed to Livingston to film at "McCardell Cottage."
Mon. evening we spent several hours visiting with Ms. Beverly Miller laughing, crying and talking about God's goodness in our lives. I could never describe what an encouragement it has been to be here and visit with such an amazing lady! She loves the color red and drives a bright red convertible mustang, doesn't like straight lines for landscaping, is very resourceful, loves her family, owns two horses and has an amazing heart for God! She keeps us laughing with her joyful enthusiastic spirit...she's quite a lady!
This is the room we did the interview in at McCardell Cottage.
This is me and my camera scoping out shots outside :)More pictures will be coming later this week! This is going to be one unforgettable trip!
Thanks to Caleb for taking the pictures.
This week I will be traveling in TX, interviewing bed and breakfasts for InnVideos.tv
"Have you ever wished you could visit a Bed and Breakfast Inn and get to know the innkeeper before you actually stayed a single night?
[on the website] click the search tab and simply select the state you are planning to visit and find the town or city that is just right for you. From there you will be able to visit each inn without leaving the comfort of your keyboard.
That’s why we say Find. Watch. Stay."
These are the inns I will be interviewing:
The Katy House
McCardell Cottage
Village Street
Hale House Inn
Delta Street Inn
June 27th our family was working a booth at the yearly Peach Festival. We have been selling homemade peach ice cream at the Stratford Peach Festival since 2006, this year we sold 40 gallons in 5.5 hrs!! You can see more pictures here.
A while back I posted about doing the graphic design for these CDs - they now have mp3 previews on the Heartland Website! Each year, our family looks forward to new CDs from these groups!
Here are previews for a several of my favorite songs this year:
