Hurricane Isaias hit our area August 3rd after a summer full of amazing sunshine and memories and fun! It really wasn’t a large or forceful hurricane and didn’t have a substantial amount of rain like Florence but it hit the island at the worst place and time (right corridor of the storm at a full …

July 2020 – Our first July on the island!

On November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 By rookieroadsters4 Comments

We are in the midst of a crazy month in American history so I thought it was the perfect time to reflect back on our summer and all the fun we had! I’m so grateful for the safe, innocent, unplugged, fun childhood memories we’re able to give our kiddos and visitors. It’s such a gift …

Stay at Home Day 21 (?)

On April 20, 2020April 20, 2020 By rookieroadsters5 Comments

Well according to my calendar we’ve been socially distancing for 35 days and under “stay at home” orders for I think 21 (!?) days. It’s hard to keep track of the days since life’s normal rhythms are different. I can’t believe it’s already April 20th! I do know it’s been 2 weeks without our beach …

“Social Distancing” – again

On March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 By rookieroadsters1 Comment

What a crazy time in history. Yet for us Rookies- it’s not TOO crazy. We are just doing what we did all last year: homeschooling, B working from home, and staying far from friends! Haha God’s timing has been so perfect. We are so grateful our adventure around the country was last year and not …

Nesting into a House Again

On March 1, 2020March 1, 2020 By rookieroadsters2 Comments

It’s been 3 weeks since we got home to our “new” house and I must say we are truly enjoying ourselves and are so full of thankfulness! The first days were a bit overwhelming as we dealt with all it entails to “start over” in many ways —- but the Lord (as always) was so …

Disney!!! And Thousand Trails Orlando

On February 22, 2020February 23, 2020 By rookieroadsters10 Comments

For Christmas this year we did something different and instead of lots of presents, we gifted the kiddos a trip to Disney! Certainly we have learned that experiences and quality time together are so much more valuable than things. We have been planning this trip secretly all year but didn’t know we’d be buying a …

This one is for all The Waltons fans out there 😍💕 https://rookieroadsters.com/2020/12/15/the-waltons-mountain-museum-lynchburg-thousand-trails/
Shenandoah Day 2 was one of my faves ever ! Praise songs for the Creator spontaneously came out of my mouth as I stood there ! I know He enjoys when we delight in His creation. In the same way we can delight in His steadfast love and for His faithfulness to His people! He is the answer to our souls deepest yearnings. He is the calm we need to get through any storm. He is the gentle shepherd who guides and tenderly cares for us. He is the mighty King who will someday make all things right! Www.rookieroadsters.com
Shenandoah Day 1 is on the blog . This was our 13th National Park. We loved it ! Day 2 which I’ll post soon had one of my very hikes *ever*! www.rookieroadsters.com
It may be chilly this morning but I stay warm because the more I talk to B about.... The Chinese Communist Nazi Regime and their continued war on America, purposefully deceptive “scientific data”, the completely bias and corrupt media machine, the manipulative controlling social media platforms, the brainwashing we have to fight daily, the inability of elected leaders to have a conscience and investigate objectively, the statistical impossibility that this election wasn’t corrupted...... the faster I walk. So by the end I’m run-walking and huffing and puffing .... while calm as a cucumber B listens and nods and adds in a point here and there ... and then makes me be still and enjoy the beauty. 😍 I am so thankful to let off steam each morning and soak in the Lords peace. I have faith that no.matter.what the Lord is the faithful one !!! He will stay true and faithful to His people and will take care of us! He uses ALL things for our good. He is my peace and my strength and my hope! True Unity and Peace and Love and Rest are found ONLY in Him! I am a proud conservative and Trump supporter! But I am a Christ-follower first and I can lay down secondary agendas for His name and unity in Him. I will stand strong for our republic however I can and will speak up for freedom which is a God-given value and privilege we have taken for granted for too long !!! But ultimately I know our political system is just one way the Lord restrains evil. It’s not His Church and it won’t last . I will be forever thankful to be an American and will pass that on to my kiddos ...but I hold it loosely. Jesus Christ is the one and only foundation and secure unchanging one we can count on forever! He is God, the promised Messiah, who came to earth once to save and rescue us and He is coming back again! Someday we will understand this whole story and all will be made right . For today it’s enough to know His love and live a life full of His peace and hope no matter what’s going on around us ! ✌️ Love to you all ! As soon as our trailer is sold I’m outta here haha so I’m getting out all the thoughts I want to while I have the chance 😂
As we wait to know the direction America will be taking... I’ve updated my blog with the start of our October travels ! Here are some scenes from our first stop during our October getaway - Jamestown Yorktown Williamsburg York River State Park. I’ve enjoyed remembering the history we learned in that area. I was definitely once again inspired by our founding documents and founding fathers! Www.rookieroadsters.com
Sunday morning beauty.... trying hard to keep my eyes on the Lord, body healthy and connected to creation, and mind and heart calm and peace-filled. It’s truly heart breaking to see what’s happening in our country. But I know the Lord is sovereign and He promises to always take care of His people and use all things for our good. We have so much we have to teach the next generation!
