I think we got everyone in the group this time.
Abby and Moriah two awesome friends
We went to Navy Pier while we were in downtown Chicago and rode the Farris Wheel. We had quite the adventures! It was a great way to celebrate Olivia's birthday!
So what do you do when you get back to the van and realize that you don't have your purse with you. I was thinking, I could have left it anywhere. So Abby, Easter, and I all rush back to where we had previously been. The Lord brought to mind where I had set it down, so we headed straight there and what do ya know it was gone! That was pretty much a given...I knew that God had a plan for all of this, and it would be the grace of God if we found it. I just figured God had a different plan and maybe someone else needed it more than I did. So we went to the information desk...and they said, "Are you Sarah Johnson" I said, "Yes"...after a while the security lady who must have been a Christian came out...She said, "You are one lucky girl! Most things don't get returned. . . I said, "I have a good and gracious God". She said, "You must have a praying Mama and Daddy" I was like, "Yes, I definitely do!" Then right before we left, she said "You have something to Praise God about today and all this week". I was thinking, No kidding! We serve such a good God! His mercy never ends! We don't deserve all the things he does for us each and every day.
Praise Him in the big things and in the small things. He cares about your rising up and your lying down. Give Him the Glory He deserves!
Abby and I
We had so much fun!!! Hope y'all have a wonderful Easter as you celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

  1. Looks like a fun trip, Sarah! Having godly friends is a great blessing :) So neat to see the Lord's hand in the "lost purse" story! Definitely something to praise the Lord about this week!!
    Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
