I Never Thought...



Wow! This time thing really gets away from you! Here I am over a year later and

I Never Thought....


  • that raising my family would flash by so fast
  • that I wouldn't have things figured out by this age
  • that I would be a grandma so soon (2 grandbabies with 2 more arriving in October!)
  • that marriage would still be a struggle
  • that evil would touch my kids in such profound ways and cause them so much pain
  • that I would actually WANT to go to school again!
  • that depression would still be stalking me
  • that self discipline would still be so hard and so daily
  • that our new home would begin to feel like home
  • my body would age so dramatically (it is shocking!) 
But I Am Grateful.....
  • for new mercies every morning
  • for hope found in Jesus being the hero of my story
  • for grace to make it through another day
  • for the knowledge that He who has all power holds my kids close
  • for the promise of forever healing and full restoration
  • for a husband who is intent on figuring out our new life together
  • for friends who are willing to do "real life" together
  • for my cat
  • for little hands to hold again and little cheeks to kiss again
  • for the hope of Heaven
  • for the promise that He who began a good work will carry it on to completion.
"I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have 
committed to Him against that day." 1Timothy 1:12

Ps. Hoping to keep a more regular schedule and post more often as I am looking to practice
      being more intentional in the things that are dear to my heart.
