Drive, drive, drive all day long! 🚙 We left Ft worth this morning with a long day ahead of us. The first 6.5 hours was a lot of driving!
Not too much happened, we checked off a new state for the Moser’s when we entered New Mexico. We looked for tumbleweeds, talked, slept, sang, drew, colored. A long day in the car. But, we arrived at our first destination!
Carlsbad Caverns!
We were ready for a break from the car!
We enjoyed two different things at the caverns.
Some of us did not want to take the 750ft elevator down into the pits of the earth so we walked down to the natural entrance.
The other half was ready for the elevator and enjoyed the caverns.
They loved it! They all said it was amazing and they enjoyed every minute of it.
We had dinner in the parking lot while we waited for the bats to emerge from the cave at dusk…it was a little underwhelming but we enjoyed the time and saw a couple hundred bats. 🦇
While we were waiting Bree got stung by a bee 🐝, only her! I didn’t even get a picture of that it was so stressful!!
We headed out of the park at 9 with a little over 2 hrs still before our hotel. As we left Bree was complaining about her stomach, it steadily got worse until she was in agonizing pain. I was terrified something was very wrong, so I prayed for God to take it away…he did! All the way to our hotel, she barely made it inside before what I think is food poisoning hit. She is resting now but has had a rough night. Pray for her that she recovers quickly.
Even though today had a few bumps I was reminded Christ never leaves us, I was so scared in the car that something was really wrong and my Lord calmed me. When we got to the hotel her pain was so intense we considered taking her to the hospital. I didn’t know what the right decision was, I cried out Lord help us…and seconds later she began to be sick and her pain was pretty much gone answering our dilemma. Just a reminder that Christ cares for us, always.
Tomorrow is a new day, I pray Bree recovers quickly.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy 31:6
