These kids just keep growing up! And yes they are all officially taller than me. I am so proud of them all. Really they amaze me. Mothering is not for the faint of heart but I feel blessed to call them mine.
And this guy, after 24 years I think he's pretty swell. We have traversed through many hills and valleys in 24 years. It has not be easy to say the least but, it's been worth it.
The past 2 months have been difficult for us. Circumstances beyond our control have made life super challenging. Sometimes praise is definitely a sacrifice. I am working on not complaining and focusing on the good in life. To practice the presence of God. Remembering He is right here with me is not always the easiest but ever so helpful. I also know while we are surprised when certain things happen ~ He is not. My life thus far has shown me that He has a plan and He keeps His promises.
One of the things Spring teaches me ~ even through the rain ~ is that great things are happening that you can't see. Oh we see the rain. And we see the tiny buds pushing up through the ground but not what had to happen underground to get it there. So that is my anchor in times like these.
