Changes...

Changes...I have a dear sweet friend who told me several years ago...that is what we are becoming accustomed to...she said if she had learned anything...life is always going to be changing...well I have to admit...that is the same for us as well...

I guess if you think about it...life would be like the dead sea...stagnet and yuck...if change didn't come...so here we are in the middle of a few more changes...not bad mind you...the biggest change in our lives right now...a new family member by the name of Miss Laney Kate and she is AWESOME...all my grandbabies amaze me and as a new one comes each time they continue to amaze me...she is so alert and just listen to you when you talk to her...she even attemps to get out a sound or two when you talk...that makes me kind of scared because at the ripe old age of 1 week it is OBVIOUS that she has something to say...can you just imagine what she will be like at 2 or worse yet 22!!!!! She truly has smiled at us and knows what she is doing...they don't come often but when they do come she means them!

Another change...the rest of the grandkids are getting so grown up...their little personalites are so different...and I see their daddys in each of them...but I see their mommas in them too...so I can...for one little minute....close my eyes and see flickers of yester years in them...sweet...nothing like it!!!! Rylee and Caleb are getting so sure of themselves and know exactly what they want! They fight with each other but whatever you do...don't pick on one of them or the fight is on because the may fight with each other but they also take care of each other...Ayden is offically a first grader now and he is so grown up these days...he can explain just about anything to you and if you don't believe me...just ask him....Landy has changed so much...all cassie's boys loooooove to sing the song...God's not dead....but landy...he can belt out the entire song...he went to town with poppy and I the other day and let me just say we got quite the show!...oh then litte Camden...he is...passionate...yes that is the word I'm thinking of using...passionate...I can not wait to see how God channels that passion as an adult...and I believe He will...he is a funny little boy...he can cut his eyes at you and you have to laugh...there is no other way out...

Another change...Michael Scott...I have had more complements out of that guy in the past 6 weeks than I have in the past....well a long time...I'm so proud of him...and I'm so happy for him...he has met a sweet young lady...Miss Bekah Crawford....and we have absolutely fallen in love with her...all though I don't think we are the ONLY ones who have fallen for her...just sayin...Scott and I actually met Bekah (as did Michael) about 6 years ago when we went to Thailand for a mission trip...I remember thinking how much I liked her then and what great friends she and our Katie would be if they went to the same school...God has been teaching Michael a great deal in the last year and half...so with that said...between the Lord and Bekah there is a joy in his eyes this momma has NEVER seen before...this is a change I love to see...his birthday is coming up soon and you know I've only been away from him on his birthday one other time...and it was NOT a good day for him...mom and dad where both gone and in his defense...he was only 9 but it was a rough day...so I pray he has a great day this year...

Change continues...it will always continue...as I think back over the years of our lives...how boring it would have been had we not walked thru the changes...some fun, some so hard to bare it can still bring tears to my eyes but all necessary...all with the fingerprints of God all over them....He is the One who has made our family work..He is the One who guides our lives and He is the One who holds are today and our tomorrow...

So as more changes come...I can't wait to see what is next in our lives...Scott will be 50 this summer...so I guess I have to admit we are now...dare I say...middle aged...sorry just can't can say elderly yet...so yes...middle aged...what comes with these changes...dont' know...Scott still thinks he is 20...put we will walk this path together...

have an amazing day today and remember...watch and be ready for the changes...cause they are coming!!!!!! To God be the glory....

Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you...Joshua 3:5 are you ready????

...The Lord will fight for you...and you have only to be silent...Exodus 14:14

and finally...

...blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might...He changes times and seasons...He removes and sets up kings...He gives wisdom to the wise...and knowledge to those who have understanding...He reveals deep and hidden things...He knows what is in the darkness...and the light dwells with HIM...to you...O God of my fathers...I give thanks and praise...for You have given me wisdom and might...and have now made known to me what we asked of You...Daniel 2:20-23

I Love You Lord...there is none like YOU...
