JOY

 In the midst of change in the midst of uncertainty of what's next the Lord sent a sweet reminder to this Momma's heart.  Trust me I'm in the smallest of details, I've got this and I've got her!

Last couple of months!





We went to Disney in October, we had a Blast!




We stayed at Pop Century!





























UGH, just another day in paradise.

As Sheila would say where is my umbrella

Yesterday I was on my way home from work...


Phone rings ( I hate cell phones at times!)

Kacey - Mom can you stop at Wal-mart and get a black t-shirt, we are supporting the boys team in the county tournament and we are each sponsoring a player and we are making our own shirts for the player we are sponsoring,

Me - so Everybody is doing this

Kacey - Yes I think so, and white/blue/silver paint. I'll work for it...

me - uh huh in all that spare time you have, Okay but when i get home you will have your bathe already and working on your homework.

Kacey - got it!

So I get to WM my not so favorite place and get the stuff and my phone rings,

Kacey - not black now it's blue...

Me - I do not have time for this I could have already been home.

Kacey - Maybe white

Me- You are getting nothing.... Click!

5 minutes later, my cell phone rings again... It isn't Kacey its her friend!

Her ~ Miss Paige, they didn't have black shirts where we were, can you get me a black too...

Me

Grace!












Not Me Monday....



Being honest and living to tell about it!


I was NOT touch up some paint and I did NOT spill a half gallon of white paint in my kitchen floor. NO NOT ME!

~

I did NOT stay in bed til almost 1 on Saturday with the occasional chore in between and just read and rest... NO NOT ME I could never be that lazy!

~

I did NOT have an eye infection last week and I did NOT put my contacts back in before I was supposed too.. Nope not ME I always do as I'm told!

~

I did NOT

Calling

Today Greg answered the Call to Preach.

Please pray for us as we seek God's direction in this new journey of life.


Although I've had peace about this for years... It's still a little overwhelming at the moment and very humbling.


No Not Me Monday!

It's okay NOT to love hearing my kids talk about summer and flying crickets, ground squirrells running around there feet and hearing about an insect they saw and insisted it was a hornetbee Junebug??


On the fourth day of school my oldest did NOT forget her Algebra book and I was not 30 minutes late for work from going back home to get it. Nope NOT us we are always organized and under control.







She thinks were just fishin....





Greg and I talk at lunch everyday... Today when he called..




What are we doing tonight, Let's go fishin... Grace loves it, Kacey used too, and well have you ever heard this song.... Here are the lyrics so I guess tonight we'll go fishin... :-)




I'm lost in her there holdin' that pink rod and reel






She's doing almost everything but sittin' still






Talkin' bout her ballet shoes and trainin' wheels,






And her kittens, and she thinks we're just fishin'






I say, "Daddy loves you, baby" one more time,






She say's "I know, I think I got a bite"






And all this laughin', cryin', smilin',






dyin' here inside Is what I call livin',






and she thinks we're just Fishin' on the river side,






Throwin' back what we could fry,






Drownin' worms an killin' time,






Nothin' too ambitious She ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now






But I guarantee this memories a big'un And she thinks we're just fishin'






She's already pretty, like her momma is Gonna drive the boy's all crazy,






give her daddy fits And I better do this every chance I get 'Cause time is tickin',






and she thinks we're just Fishin' on the river side,






Throwin' back what we could fry, Drownin' worms ans killin' time,






Nothin' too ambitious She ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now






But I guarantee this memories a big'un And she thinks we're just fishin'






She ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now






But I guarantee this memories a big'un And she thinks we're just fishin' Yeah Oh, she thinks we're just fishin' We ain't only fishin' This ain't about Fishin'






Want to cry I mean see the video... Go here...

Shorter

 I'm not sure how we got to this point so fast but here we are.  Touring colleges and making next step decisions.  Oh my heart.  I am praying God opens the doors he has for her and he makes it plain.
I'm praying big and he is a big God and is capable of abundantly more than I can ever imagine.
So I'm praying and trusting and trying to enjoy this ride and not be an emotional mess.  :)
She is so independent and strong she will be just fine.
Lord, make your path known and help us not to miss it.




I will admit seeing my word plastered all over the sample dorm room decor was a sweet assurance from my heavenly father to keep Joy and keep moving forward.  It's gonna be alright Momma.
