Random




Been sick around here & a lot going on all at the same time & now I cannot sleep. (But it was a good coke)

Many random thoughts as I am awake this late. We have friends with a sick baby & friends traveling & tons going on & it all makes me think about what is important & what am I doing about it.

I need to (want to) take a misson trip, but I hate leaving my kids - is God asking me to grow? Is my sweet suburbia my mission field? I may not be in the huts in African orphanages, so what does my ministry look like? Is it what God wants it to look like? I hope so . . . I pray that I am following Him & what He has in store for us. These 3 blessings are at beautiful points in their lives - they are my mission field. Them & their friends & the families that God puts in my path. I am not called to the pulpit (everyone can breathe a sigh of relief) but I am called to serve & at this stage in our lives serving looks like a meal & laundry & a carpool & a playdate. I pray I will know when it is time to expand & make it look differently. Although I have a feeling the laundry mission will forever be on the list.

Time for this Mommy to sleep

Happy New Year 2025!

 Well, the end of 2024 caught us a little off-guard. So I am little late . . .  2024 started off with WFM5 turning 18! CRAZY! In the middle of 2024 Bay turned 21! CRAZY! Whitty is 17 & Baby Lee is in middle school! CRAZY! How can they be this old? How can 2 live in another city? How can the hubby be 50??! We had a lot of fun this year, we traveled & tailgated. We laughed & laughed some more.  We also grew this year inside & out, in times of tears & joy. We lost our sweet friend - Kim Haynes, our Auntie Kim. We had moments of telling her daughter that Mommy went to Heaven, we had hard conversations & times to say goodbye.  We had times of telling EK how wonderful her momma was. 2024 also sent another to AUBURN! Momma may have cried the whole way home. But to see him thrive brought Momma such joy.  Baylor (21) is studying education at AU & is having a blast with her cute friends, in her cute house. She stays busy with schools, concerts ...

I am thankful for Dr. Pepper! I am thankful for Chicken-Moo! PSALM 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, H...

HOW???

How is it time for Summer? How are we buying teacher gifts? How have I registered my baby girl for her senior year of high school? How have we had 5 days of soccer try-outs & we are only halfway through? How are we scheduling senior portraits & ordering senior jerseys? How are 2 of them taller than me with bigger feet? How do they make their own plans & inform me of what they are? How do we have 1.5 drivers at our house? How do they stay up later than me? How is all this happening so fast? HOW?
