Wedding Day!

Courtney and Brian ~ September 30, 2012

Grace and some sweet School friends.
We were so thankful the rain held off!
Thank you Lord! 
By the looks of the radar it was only by the Grace of God!
I can't believe she is old enough to be getting married.
Sweet Girls!
Precious Momma And Daddy
Grace handing out announcements.
Kacey and her Daddy!

Sweet Friends.
Love our sweet Kelley's!

This happen to be a highlight of Grace's evening!  Greg had to get back after the ceremony to Mtn. View for Sunday night bible study.  So Papaw had the honors. 
Congratulations Brian and Courtney!

Birthday Surprise!

Abigail and Company Decided to surprise Kacey on Saturday night. 
It was hard trying to cover, and we were almost busted a couple of times.
They had it all planned out and it was fun.
The Cookie Cake!

Part of the Gang, I don't think I ever got a picture of everyone.
And after food they had a bonfire and I didn't take pictures. 
Mom is embarrassing enough without that!  ;-)



Love these girls!

Happy Birthday Kacey!

Whatever your doing....

If my blog were public I would never share but since only 5 have access I think I'm safe!  Kacey has been dealing with a lot of life lately. Her first major heartbreak and honestly it's been hard on our house.  This young man that lives 45 minutes from our house has caused our home to feel a little chaotic..  Satan uses anything to get our minds busy on things of this earth.  I don't mean our house has been awful but the affects have been there... for 6 weeks they've been there.  The young man has been consistent with his attempts to become part of our lives once more but every time our family has prayed over this the scripture Be Still has just been right there.  And once I kept feeling that theme over and over, I finally shared with Kacey.  And God has shown himself to us in such big ways these last 6 weeks from devotions on Being still that show up in an inbox, to phone conversations with friends that say, be still... God thing for sure!
Over and over again it's been real and it's been big!
Friends/and our church family has stepped up big for Kacey, with taking her to eat/ice cream and some Godly young men saying, you are a child of the King, don't get discouraged and don't forget who's you are.  Our youth are strong in their faith and I'm so thankful we are planted where we are.  God is so good!  Again last night we had been talking and words from Mom's are great but you know how that goes to a teen then last night she came in sat on my bed and handed me her phone and almost word for word what I had said was on her phone sent as a daily devotion.  Tell me God isn't in control!  We've been praying for Kacey to see God in big ways and God is faithful!  All the time!

Whatever You're Doing Lyrics

Sanctus Real

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
All I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out

WOW!

I've been saying for the last two years, that when Kacey drives it will help us so much.
All this running and going, it will slow down.  Well all that is true but can I just say.... NOTHING prepared me for this!




Absolutely nothing.....

Happy Sweet 16 Kacey!

Can you believe it? 
I will be honest it doesn't seem like it was 16 years ago, we brought this precious little crying baby home to our trailer on Parches Cove Road.  We were young and scared to death and didn't have a clue what we were doing.  She became so sick and at 4 days old had some scary moments that ended with over 2 weeks in the hospital and now a really scared Mom and Dad...  The only thing that has changed is she is 16 and we're much older, we still feel like we have no clue what we are doing sometimes and her safety and life's path still scares us to death. 
We don't know what tomorrow hold but we know the one who does and that alone is our comfort as we journey into uncharted territory!  One day at a time. 
I'm so thankful for this sweet girl and I'm so proud of her, what a gift God's blessed us with to be her parents!
I'm loving these two actually like each other sometimes now!


And a GPS since my girl is directionally impaired just like her Mom!
Before Church!
Thank you Lord for our family!
The birthday girls!


I love this picture!



Kacey's Cake!



Wow!  Here we are sweet 16!  How time flies!
We've been talking about it for years and it always seemed so far away.
Just another reminder... time slows down for no one so take some time to enjoy life
find Joy in the journey.  Slow down and have some fun!

Happy Birthday Sweet Kacey!
We love you to the Moon, Stars mailbox and back again!

Weekend!

On Friday night Kacey went with Friends to the movies and on Saturday we car shopped and Car shopped, picked up Cakes and Kacey got to spend some time Birthday shopping with Mamaw and Papaw.  Then we enjoyed a nice meal at Sierra's with our church family!
This was about 11:30 Saturday night, she was finishing Homework determined not to have to do it on her birthday!  Her last night as 15...  :( Where does the time go?
