What's Up?

Hey y'all, just wanted to pop in real quick to say hi. Our "summer" busyness kicks off tomorrow as our 11 iGo interns arrive! We always enjoy having high school/university students around, it's so neat to see their eyes opened as they serve with us in this city. They will be going non-stop till August 1st when they head back to America. At the end of their time we will have a retreat in West Wales at a beach house, this year our whole family will be going so the girls are looking forward to that. Ok, I am too. Let's hope and pray against any night terrors for Addison!

In other, less exciting news, I'm now a brunette or dark blond. I am not sure yet. I have had my hair highlighted for years but alas the time has come where it's just too expensive to keep up here. So, I put up with my dark roots for as long as I could then I stood in the hair product aisle at Tesco agonising over which color to choose. I did buy one, but after a few days of staring at the box I decided I needed professional help.

My girl at my salon helped me out this past Saturday by putting a semi-permanent color all over so the "grow out" phase won't be as nasty looking. I use to be naturally blond, but after each kid my got darker (my mom's hair did too!) and wavier. Is that word? My hair use to be straight as a board, but now it's got some curl in it. So, as my girl was trying to match my natural color to her color chart and chose a brown I was offended and refused to accept it! Ha. She kind of gave me a "bless your heart" look and then got on with it. I was in a bit of a shock when she took the towel off my head! It was DARK. I didn't like it at all on Saturday or Sunday, but today it's already faded a bit and I'm getting use to it. Depending on the light it can look really brown or kind of dark blond/golden. It's weird. When I walk by the mirror I have to get over the shock all over again. I know, bless my heart. It's only hair, Charity!!!

In this picture of me and the girls below I was surprised to see that it's very close to their hair color. It's going to take some getting use to, but Marc likes it, so I say that's a good thing.

Hope y'all have a great week. I'll leave you with a verse I'm memorizing right now, may it encourage you as it's encouraged me.

"The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my victory." Psalm 118:14
