Lots of Changes...

-
It's been a while since I've blogged. I barely remembered how to log in to the site- lol! There are a lot of changes headed our way. It's amazing to me how life just has a way of working out. I guess that's why I am learning to stress a lot less the older I get. God continues to show me He's in charge and already has everything all worked out. We are in the process of building our new home. It's wonderful and the fact that Jeff basically designed it (working from several sets of plans) is even better. It truly is a home built for a family. I can't wait to hear the voices and laughter of my family filling the rooms. I foresee days of watching Alabama football on the back porch and many great meals being enjoyed in our kitchen (Jeff cooking them of course, lol!). As of this Tuesday, everything will be decided and we can sit back and watch it all come together. I can't wait!!!


It's only two months until our wedding. It's going to be such a wonderful & special day. The kids are excited about their roles. The boys can't wait to wear their tuxedos and ride in a limo. The girls are ready to pick out shoes and try on their dresses. My dress should be in next week and invitations will go out soon. I couldn't have done it without my dear friend, Leslie. She has taken care of so much and helped me create the look I wanted, not to mention helped me maintain sanity. Now it's time to enjoy the weeks ahead and the celebrations planned leading up to the BIG DAY! It's times like these when you really come to see how blessed you are. Someone pinch me because I don't think I could get much happier!

Right now my bible study group is doing a study on Jonah and we have been talking about what happens when prayers don't turn out the way we imagine. How do we handle that? Do we get angry and pout with God or do we see it as a blessing? I have to admit, I've done more pouting in my life than I should've. So it got me thinking about my life right now. Over two years ago I got down on my knees and prayed for God to send a wonderful, kind, honest, Godly man into mine and my children's lives. I seemed to have spent so much of my life praying for the man I was with to change to become all of those things and had never really realized it. SO I decided to try something new-someone who was all of those things from the get go. In October of 2009 my prayers were answered in the strangest way. I received a Friend Request from an old friend I grew up with in church and thus began the path that brought Jeff and I together. Now I have to admit, never in a million years did I imagine ...

Grief

 Grief. The realization that nothing can fix it, nothing can make it better except the grace and peace of God through time. And here's the thing- getting through enough time for it not to break your heart over and over again is a long way off.  My dad is gone and there is nothing that can bring him back. There is nothing that can erase the memory of the last few moments of life with him. Nothing that can stop the "if I had only known it was the last time..." thoughts running through my head. You think that maybe you've run out of tears when something so small like a Florida State football game and how much he would've loved it comes crashing through your heart and the tears flow again.  People keep asking "how are you" and while I know they mean well and am truly thankful for their concern and I say "I'm fine", the truth is a part of me will never be ok again. There is a part of me that is broken and while it may mend, there will always be ...
