We&#8217;ve been enjoying church activities like lock-ins and Matt went to Summer camp with the youth (which was hard on Rachael and I but totally worth it to see God work through the youth). We&#8217;ve kept busy, but still kept the balance of the precious things in life. And while work still continues to tax me, the countdown continues until January. Matt has been a blessing to me in the midst of this trial called work. But life presses on and the smiles that await me at home are worth the current sacrifice. <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364973432205651986\" src=\"http:\/\/todayslegacy.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/08\/b0cf5-139.jpg\" \/><br \/>Rachael&#8217;s getting so big and it blows my mind.
