Falling Leaves

We have been busy the last couple of weeks, so I am behind on my blogging. Here is some pictures of the kids on the last really nice week end.

5 years of Bliss

Five years, I feel like I should get a medal or something. How much life changes after you meet that special one.  

When I first met my love I had just graduated, passed my RN boards, and set to start my very first real job in a few short weeks. definitely at a turning point, in my life and was ready to step into that next phase.

It all started when my Mom mentioned that a gal she work with had a younger brother that just moved to the same town where I was living. I said great give me his number I will call him, I was always looking for more friends ;) So, on my way home from my nanny job I called him and left a very brief message asking if he might want to meet. Low and behold he called back and we set up a time and place. We meet at the local Applebee's and found that we have similar backgrounds and at the same point in life. That night ended with him asking me to see a movie I replied by mentioning if we didn't stop talking we wouldn't leave any thing else to talk about later.

The next few months flew by and he proposed 6 months later and we were married 10 months after that.

I am in awe of how God's hand was in every small detail in our relationship and still continues to guide our family. I am so blessed to have an amazing God fearing man leading my family, he is truly my prince charming.

"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15

A Mountain

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. Psalm 122:1-2

As a busy mom of three, I sometimes feel as though I am a mound of clay pushed and molded into what others need me to be. At times I find it easy to loose my focus and get caught up in all of the little day to day things that can run our lives. I could have never imagined that this is what my life would look like with just trying to keep up with cooking, cleaning, and laundry. It's Funny when you step back and look, at the big picture. In nursing we call it holistic care, not just focusing on the foot or the heart but the whole body.  In the moment I know that I need to make lunch do laundry ect. but the reality is that the little people that run around all day that have been entrusted to me are what is most important.  

 I am so thankful and encouraged that I am not a mound of clay that can be moved but a mountain. I am so very blessed with everything that He has so graciously entrusted to me. I am thankful that I don't have to do this thing called life alone. I fall short each and everyday, and only through his grace and mercy I am able to face today, tomorrow, and next week.
