Today is Spencer's last day with us on the tour. He is flying home just in time to make it for August football practices. He is acting like a big-shot since he is flying alone (non-stop) from Knoxville to Orlando. There is no telling all the things he will tell to those sitting around him on the flight home. To my surprise, Spencrer has really done well with the traveling this summer. His heart is so big for God. Spencer will be going into the 6th grade this fall. I am so proud of him. He is always on honor roll and does his best at whatever he sets his mind to do. We will miss him so much as we continue to travel some...
We spent a couple of days over in Pigeon Forge again, and I've had enough of the Smokies to last a while. In the morning we are leaving for Nashville! We'll be there for about 11 days, then we'll head up through Kentucky and on to Indianapolis, where Colton and Tate will fly home to start school. I guess I'd better get Spencer to the airport now since I am speaking tonight at service. I wouldn't want to get caught in city traffic while church is going on. More later...
As things turned out, I needed to stay with Spencer until his flight took off, so I wasn't able to speak tonight. I guess God figured that could wait until next time. Spencer and I enjoyed a nice meal at Ruby Tuesday's across from Gate 2 at the Knoxville airport. He is growing so fast! My lil buddy starts middle school next month. I am so proud of him. He felt like a rock-star with his guitar strapped around his shoulders and me leading the way in my church suit. Haha! He sent me a text when he landed and I am sure he is happy to be back home. Football practices start for him tomorrow.
I raced back to the church service and arrived just as it was ending. Pastor asked me to end the service with a couple of songs, so I did just that, and God's presence was very real to me. It was nice just to sit around after service and talk with all God's people. I no longer wonder what people's agenda might be when we are together. I try to see people as a living soul, where everyone is equal and we all are God's children. I have a calling on my life and try to fulfill that as best I can. I have learned to leave the rest up to God. He is in control of things now.
We came back to pastor's house and just sat around and ate some sandwiches and chips while enjoying the fellowship with some of the saints. Tomorrow is a travel day and we need to be in Nashville by mid-afternoon. Tate crashed early, after having a long day, at Cracker Barrel, the laundromat, practicing drums at the church, and tonight's service... all without a nap! I miss Spencer already. I miss mom.
