Lydia ~ 36 Months

Wow! In addition to our little girl celebrating her THIRD birthday this month [see next blog for birthday pics], we have had a busy month! Basically, every weekend during Lydia's 36th month was spent out of town ... due largely to some opportunities that Daddy was given. We participated in a wedding in Midland, NC; Mel was the speaker for revival services at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC [which also allowed for some time with family and even a fun trip to Tanglewood Park!]; and Mel spoke at an Apologetics Conference in La Grange, NC [which also allowed us to spend some time with some dear friends]. We also traveled to Gatlinburg, TN, with some members of our church, and Lydia's PawPaw and Nana, and as always, that was a beautiful (although busy!) trip! Here, Mel was asked to lead the prayer in front of 5000+ people (at the "Jubilee") and to bring "the beautiful little girl on stage with him!" What an experience for them! Lydia was a "trooper" through all of the traveling, though, and for that we are so thankful! Our travels will continue for one more weekend next month and then lots of traveling for the holidays ... so maybe this was just preparation! :) We are thankful for the opportunities and for our little traveling companion - who is now THREE years old!!
