My Kids

I don't remember ever having a dream other than to marry a minister, stay home and have babies. Never cared about any kind of career. Never cared if I had a dime. Just give me a husband to minister with and babies. The photo you are looking at is my screen saver. I see it ALL the time. It was taken the night of Josh and Jen's engagement party. Everytime I look at it, I am at peace. Don't get me wrong, they have delivered their share of grief to my heart! But mostly, they have brought joy that I never dreamed of. When I look at them, I see a process. They have their own stories, and God isn't finished with them. I see a process where God used them to bring me closer to His perfect plan for my life, a process that brought me closer to Him because I SO had to depend on Him working in their lives. And now, when I look at this picture, I feel like someone is missing. God has engraved Jen on my heart. She IS my forth child. My family picture wall just isn't complete-we have to get pictures made! We want to do them outside, so we are waiting for a little cooler weather! God is good. He has done what ONLY He could do. I'm proud of each one of them and the journey they are on. Dreams have come true, and the process continues, it's not over! These are my trophies-all I will leave in this world when I go. And for today, I get to enjoy them while I'm here! Wow, God has great ideas!
