First Post: Family

Life can become quite crazy sometimes in a family of twelve, but it has never been so exciting and fun to have such close friends within my own family. I'm sure it also has to do something with the fact I was Home Schooled(guilty grin). Either way, I am thankful for the relationships I have with each one.

Here is a recent photo of us, and of course there is always that one person to goof off.

Have a Blessed Day!

In Christ,

The Doctor's Song: Part Two

It's cold, the TV is playing a sermon from a church, its about 5am Sunday morning. I am trying to catch up with some sleep in a dark family room after a night of lying next to Haden as he tossed and turned with wires attached to his brain for seizure readings that entire week. My mom had gone through a week of making sure that he didn't turn too much, and my dad would drive out after full hours of work to be there to support my mom at all the times he could. I was able to get a little sleep that morning, but my mom called saying that I needed to get back to the room. Haden wasn't being very responsive and he seemed extremely lethargic. They took us down swiftly to receive a Brain Scan to see if there was any bleeding(that's the biggest concern since they had a grid on his brain). We waited. My dad was on his way. The news came. They told us that there was some bleeding going on. At this point we didn't know how bad. My mom wanting more answer's, but also tryin...

VBS 2016

Vacation Bible School was definitely a lot of fun with the theme Hailey chose. She wanted to do a "Super Hero" theme with a city feel atmosphere. It was so cute and creative with everything Hailey put together. Her talents keep me completely impressed all the time! I am so thankful she took charge of decorations, skit videos, and flyers. She did a far greater job than I would have ever did. It is so exciting to see how my siblings are discovering, growing, and forming their talents God has given them and using them for God. It's a blessing. A real joy. My brother, Noah(who has been called to preach), was our speaker for VBS and he did a great job. His humbleness was there. He asked people to pray that God would use each message for each night. His sermons spoke to my heart. Noah spoke on prayer, the bible, and used our theme verse(Matthew 5:16 ) for the last night and it was great! On the note of those that have helped..... My best friend, Priscilla and m...

The Right Man

Psalm 107: 8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! The Right Man. The above note was the first promise I made to God before I knew how to spell "marry" or correctly apply proper grammar. I wrote this in my white King James Bible that I had received for Christmas. I had no idea at that time of the struggle of waiting and enduring temptations as a young single girl. I always assumed I would meet the "right man" during my teen years or the bible college years and get married in my early 20s. Those days passed with many times that I would hope and pray only for God to close the door as I asked The LORD if the guy wasn't the right one to shut it tight. Sometimes, I would foolishly try and reopen doors that God had closed. Sometimes, my fingers got smashed as God shut the door. Other times, I would be relieved that God had clarified that certain guys were not the ones. I'd always pray and seek th...
