Thanksgiving

How I love these two...  So thankful for My Momma and Daddy.
Our clan

My heart!  :)


So blessed to have an awesome family.  We are so blessed to be serving right where God has planted us for this moment in time.  God is good.  He is the God of second third and fourth chances.  I am thankful even if I left my purse in Cedar Bluff and had to drive back to Gadsden to meet my sister to get it back. 

Enjoying the journey!

Life's precious moments I don't want to miss this.   Enjoying every day!

Let's celebrate!

I went to a shower after church today and Kacey went to Abigail's signing for DSU for swim.  When we got back Grace had done some decorating of her own.  Sweet girl is really excited for her sister!

Before the cake, we had family prayer to thank God for Kacey, ask him to continue his blessings and to place a hedge of protection around this sweet girl for now and the future. 

 







 





 
Congratulations. sweet Kacey we love you and are so proud for you!  You've worked hard and sacrificed so much but you have remained strong in your faith.  We love you dearly!

Signing her NLI!

After years... of prayers and a couple of weeks of humbly coming before God for direction, Kacey made her decision.  After offers from Huntingdon, SouthEastern, Union, Ogelthorpe, Johnson and a few others, some as far away as Pennsylvania and Indiana.  But in the end God showed up in a big way and opened a door so much closer to home and answered our prayers abundantly!  University of Montevallo saw her profile on NCSA and contacted her.  We never even tried there because it was a D II and they had one american and 5 international players.  But God showed who was in control and that his plan is perfect.  God is so good!  All the time.  
So she recieved her official written letter on Monday, Nov 10 but could not officially sign before Nov 12 @ 7:00 am.   She had to sign between then and 7:00 pm on Nov 19th.  So, I ordered a cake and thought we would celebrate the weekend.   On Thursday Greg has school but his first class was cancelled so she wanted to go ahead Thursday night and sign.  We asked why didn't she wait and do it when everyone was there.  We had invited for everyone to come Sunday afternoon.  
Kacey:  "Mom I just want it to be us.  I want to pray over it and commit this to the Lord and thank him for moving.  It's not about that for me"  Wow.  My girl is still showing me how to live life.  I'm so blessed to be their Mom.  So we did.  The four of us joined hands around the kitchen table offered our petitions for now and the future to the Lord and then she signed.  Then she smiled... she has peace!








So Friday Morning off it went.  We felt so official!  LOL!  It is crazy at the rules and things we don't know.  but we are learning.
