and nothing like good fellowship with friends...Bro. Jonathan Ghiloni, Jojo, Olivia Ghiloni, Sis. Annette Ghiloni, Sis. Shannon Chamberlin, Josh, Ray Chamberlin, James, Chamberlin, Ezra, Rev. Stephen Chamberlin and Judah

This past weekend we went camping at Thousand Trails in Jamul and we had a BLAST! Bro. Ghiloni has a yearly camp out with his congregation and they invited us along to join them and we are so glad we were able to go. We ate and ate and ate...and laughed and cried and had such great fellowship. We are so blessed to be a part of the church of the Living God.

Josh and the twins got so filthy but they enjoyed every minute of it. Several times I turned around and would see the twins just laying in the dirt. It was like if they were thinking...ahhhhhhhhh dirt!!! They were covered in dirt from head to toe. I'm so glad I thought of taking EXTRA changes of clothes for them. This camp site had mini golf, horse shoes, playgrounds, pools, a youth center with tons of games, bumper boats, hike trails and many other sports that I can't think of right now. I really liked this camping style because everyone stays in a rented trailer or cabin. Tent camping is not for me. So I really enjoyed this camp out. I can't wait to go back again. Bro. Ghiloni mentioned they were going back in the Spring and would like for us to join them again. I can't wait!

The Shephard's from Eastlake were the speakers and stirred us to keep the fire burning! We came home today and prepared for our Sunday service and the Lord moved is a powerful way. Then tonight we joined the Upper Room Imperial Beach again. Ezra and I sang a special, then he preached and the Lord moved in another powerful way. The Ghiloni's are wonderful Christians and we thank the Lord for their encouragement and support! God has been good to us and I have no complaints!

ahh dirt. my sister used to chow down on dirt when she was a toddler. we'd actually tell her while we would be driving in the care... look! dirt! she'd crane her neck to find the dirt literally licking her lips in anticipation! HA HA HA!!! Maybe she wasn't taking enough vitamins at the time or something.. lol... anyways, camping is a blast and it looks like your boys really enjoyed themselves.

And, I'd love to hear you and Ezra sing together sometime! (o:

love ya girly,

So I've decided for the next few weeks are so my post are gonna be about my daddy. I love him today and always. He was the greatest example of what a father is and what a father should be. I never ever questioned his love for me. I knew he loved me and adored me and I him. Daddy passed away of pancreatic cancer this past January. My life has never been this same. Who knew you could love someone so much! Not even gonna lie. My heart has broken over and over again a thousand times. So if you care to read on then great and if not that is great too. I just have to express my thoughts and feelings. This is kinda like my journal and I choose to share it with you.

Ezra getting ready to preach... Preaching and Bro. Ricky interpreting Pastor Santiago in the blue shirt.. some of the congregation.... more of the congregation.. We had the privilege to meet and minister to this beautiful congregation. A sweet spirit was in the house and the Pastor was so kind and humble. We were invited to come to this church and little did Ezra know he would be preaching that evening. The Pastor walked up to him after song service and asked if he would deliver the spoken word of God. Ezra was pleasantly surprised but honored that he would ask him. He did an awesome job and the altar call was wonderful. We had a GREAT time in service with them and hope this is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
