A moving prayer

I know we are called. I know we are meant to be in Texas. I know God is opening doors, windows and skylights. I know He is orchastrating details and fitting the pieces of the puzzle of our lives perfectly. All I ask Lord is that the ache in my heart for my kids will lessen. They are leaving behind all they know to be constant and secure. Memories, their home, their big back yard that's been a treasure chest of adventures...frogs, fallen logs to ballance on, crows to scare, deer to silently watch, rocks to climb, swings to soar, woods to explore, wildflowers to pick, mudpies, colorful, bright leaves to rake and jump in, snowmen to create...then there's their friends and neighbors who feel more like family then mere street sharers...family, cousins, grandparents, family vacations at the lake, and so much more...

Give me wisdom to say the right words to them, and the patience to continually ease their fears. Give me extra love and grace to always find the strength to offer one more hug and and one more reasurring smile. They are Your children before they are mine. You care for them so much more than I ever could. You have their best interests at heart and know their future is bright. I trust You, I move forward with joy and anticipation knowing this is Your leading, and where You lead and we obey, there are blessings to be found. So thank You for the peace that passes all understanding, both in my heart and in my babies hearts, amen.

Disney Trip

So we were blessed with a trip to Disney, we surprised the kids today and left 2 hours later! :). Weve kept it strictly under wraps till today!!! I'll upload video later of their reaction haha..

Arriving at the airport, Gloria hears classical music playing and says "I hear Cinderella!!! Let's go see her!" I cannot wait to see her expression when she gets her hearts desire to see Cinderella's castle!


God truly grants the desires of our hearts, no matter how small that heart is

Grocery Shopping

So last grocery store I went into I ran into two people I'd rather not see...ever...but still said hi as sweetly as i could...this trip I decided to hit another store. I go to the express lane with my 14 items and the lady huffs at me as she pulls my veggies oother the basket, and says "in the future, don't come to this lane, this is for 10 items or less. She sighs as she begins bagging my items so I smile real brightly and start bagging my stuff (all 4 bags) and say "have a blessed day"...when I really wanted to..........

Now mind you, this is minutes after I take a trip to the farm where we get our raw milk, eggs, and meat. There I almost fell carrying in the crates of empty glass bottles on the icey driveway-eh mud road... I get in there and load a new crate full of beautiful new bottles of fresh milk, and as I go to leave and heave the crates up, one of the bottles was overfilled and spills all over me. I get out and it's a flippin snowsorm out when just 5 min ago it was sunny!

And as my kids enjoy their maple spun cotton candy and their raw milk icecream I drive home soaked, cold and uptight making sure I am carefull in the midst of a squall!!! So that lady got off real easy lol

And I will happily make Thai tonight with the 14 ingredients (instead of 10) and joyously pour my babies raw milk for their goodnight drinks and thank God that I held my temper and maintained my sanctification hahaha
