Wow it's been a while sine I've written...the holidays have passed and 3 more birthdays! No excuses but also no words...sometimes that happens...you know????
Ayden Parker turned 11 years old this year...his is absolutely growing like crazy this year...He loves to talk him some video talk...or star wars...or legos...all of which I'm pretty uneducated in...but he also likes to still come give his ole grammy a hug which makes my day!!!! I pray he never gets to big for that...He has a sense of humor...but doesn't like a bunch of people looking at him either...
Then came his momma's birthday...Cassie is stretching herself in a new role at our church...it is good to see her servants heart again...sometimes wounds take time to heal...you know as momma's we want to take those away, but we can't always do that... but the One who created her can heal them!
The twins turned 8 and they to are growing way to fast!!! They like to give hugs too (really all the kids do!!!!) They are very different and yet share so much in common...I've always said...watching the "twin' thing is fascinating....it truly is a different kind of bond than regular siblings!
In just a few days Scott and I will celebrate our 35 wedding anniversary! I cannot believe we've made it...he is such a faithful man...the funny thing about us is there are so many things we've learned from one another...some of those things maybe neither of us really needed the lesson...and others have made us better people...it's taken me a long time to be able to say I've brought a few good things too...I was just a mess...but God has graced me, had mercy on me and is changing me more each day...(when I yield to Him that is)...I think we are in a good place...Scott and I that is! We started out so young...and we started our family so very young...so empty nest isn't something we've really had...we've enjoyed this time of just us...it's a new place and we like it (for the most part.)
We are preparing to go on another mission trip in just about 8 days...we are excited...anguish, humbled...all the above...we will have many opportunities to do things that will be new to us. We ask for your prayers in the coming days!!!!
We have 2 new grand babies on the way and we are so excited...Michael and Bekah are expecting their first in April and Katie and Thomas in June...I cannot put into words how happy I am...It amazes me how I'm as excited for these two as the first one...and all those in between...
We still have one exchange daughter this year...and one that isn't with us but not to far away...our year has had it's ups and downs but over all we've had a good year! Our girl from Korea will be 16 in a few days and we will be celebrating her birthday this weekend! We also will be celebrating finding out the gender of Katie's baby...and Rylee Belle's baptism!!!
God is so good to us...after we got the phone call from Rylee telling us she was saved...all I could think was...in the world's eye...Scott and I really don't have much...but in our eyes we are the richest most blessed family...we are able to serve the Lord together...all four of our kids love and serve the Lord....they are all married to 4 amazing people who also love and serve the Lord and spur our kids on...and now 4 of our 6 Grands have a relationship with Jesus Christ...at the end of the day...I'd say we have all that matters...
