Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

Furlough Highlights - Take 6

We traveled from Estes to our alma mater - York, NE - where we had lunch with Josh's grandparents. We then stayed a couple days in Seward with my best friend, Rachel Barnacle and her hubby Bryan, and I thoroughly enjoyed our catching up. I got to meet her precious little boy for the first time, we had a reunion among a bunch of my college buddies, and we went to one of the best zoos in America - the Omaha Henry Dorley zoo. We even took in my first 3-D IMAX movie while there (although the 3-D was a little too scary for Michaela; we had to take off the glasses after a screaming fit about 30 seconds into the movie!) Thanks, Rachel and Bryan, for such a great time.

Love Love LOVE that zoo! Many a fond memory was made there all growing up. Hmm... gotta get back there with my own kiddos. And now out towards Ashland they have the wildlife drive through. Too cool!
