Anticipation

Have you ever had something so wonderful going on and your so excited about it however it must be kept in confidence and just prayed over.. Well that is me and my family..It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here but Life has been full of many things going on.. Since my last post I have had the opportunity to go back to school. For some time I have felt God pulling me into the Counseling profession and this month I have just started my second year in the Graduate Program @ Liberty University. This past year was filled with many wonderful memories of my twins learning to walk, Landon starting Kindergarten, my husband finishing one degree and going back to finish his Master's. Our family has been through some valleys over the past eleven years but this year God has really showed up and blessed us.

I have enjoyed helping my husband @ church and preparing for musical productions and special services. We watched our oldest daughter dance her first real ballet "DON QUIXOTE" this summer and see how talented she is in dance. We got to see her get saved and baptized in water, make new friendships @ her new school and grow into a wonderful big sister, who loves to help with her younger siblings and spend special time reading the bible with me at night. She and I decided that this year we would work together and try to read the bible through together. It makes me so excited to see her reading and learning at such a small age and see God's word come alive in her life.

My son Landon turned five years old and started Kindergarten. He loves school and is doing so good. He is already reading small books and loves doing homework...! I'm sure that will change as the year progresses....He has lost his first two teeth on bottom and got to move up to the big kids church so he thinks he is a big boy now. He is learning to help with his baby brother and sister and is becoming a big help and learning how to take care and do fun things with them. He is very caring and protective of them both and it's nice to see him spending extra special time with his baby brother playing cars or army men while building castles and forts out of Legos.

Lexi and Zander have spent this past year learning to walk, run around the house, and now speak in plain talk (at least I can understand). They spend countless hours with me at home during the week while Kate and Landon are at school and usually do pretty good. Here lately, they have started aggrivating each other some but find their way through it to start playing again in seconds. I just took them for their two year old check up and they are both growing well and very healthy. It is amazing to me that i had them both in my tummy at some point and that two totally different people could have been born at the same time.

Well as for me and Zach, this has been the best year of our life thus far. We have finally began to see light at the end of long tunnels. We are finally understanding that God's timing and ways are better than the ones we tried to create for ourselves and can see how much better things work out when he is given the ability to do things for us instead of us trying to figure things out on our own. I am utterly amazed @ how much God loves us and how much he shows me daily his grace and mercy are real. I feel so blessed for such sweet friends here in georgia and I am so excited about what God is doing in our lives @ this point and anticipating the future that he is leading us into. I am going to try to keep this up and going now so that i can share with our family and friends this exciting journey towards the MARK !!
