Keith's Jack o Lantern

Keith and I had a blast carving his pumpkin. He thought the guts were pretty gross.

Kate E.

 

Her Smile!! Her Laugh!! Her Independence!! Her Curiosity!! Her Joy!! Kate is full of life. At every turn she is living it to the fullest - not missing out on any opportunity to risk - to love - to play - to discover.

Somehow Kate turned 21 months old on Tuesday of this week. How are we just 3 months away from her second birthday. I watch her and my heart overflows with joy, love, and gratefulness to my Lord! Kate is the most fun, most unique, most beautiful girl I know. I am so privileged to call her daughter. I can't wait to see all the incredible things God has purposed for her life. May God use her for His glory now and always!

Rain

Today was one of those days when we thought the rain would never end - it poured all day. Our driveway turned into one enormous puddle - the water was over Keith and Kate's feet. They had a blast playing in it tonight! Enjoy!

Home

I am falling more and more in love with my husband. It has been almost nine years that God has allowed me to walk this journey with Keith and I know at this very moment I love him more than ever. How is that possible!? God is so good - so faithful. Keith is strong, gentle, faithful, kind, generous, tender, forgiving, passionate - Keith is HOME to me!!!! Thank you Father - I am in awe!!!

Trust

So many times I find it hard to just simply Trust! I want to know the answers - I want to know God's plan Now!- but I know that to just trust is what Jesus wants from me. I read in John 1 and I am amazed at the trust that the first disciples had - Jesus simply said come and see - they did - and they followed. No questions asked - Jesus didn't have to give a 10 point plan of why they should leave everything they know and follow Him - He simply said "come and see" They did - they surrendered. I want that! I want to surrender more - to Trust - no questions asked! The disciples didn't need answers - they had no idea what following would mean - the joy or the heartache they would encounter. They just knew this man Jesus was worth following. I know that too. As I daily come and see, help me trust you more Jesus!
