It's always darkest before the dawn
Hey! Our lives have changed drastically since my last post. Our home has a new full time member, Blake. This will be the year Kevin and I will look back on when we are old and say; "do your remember what the Lord did for us in 2012" This truly has been the year of our lives, in a good way but with much reward, comes many trails. I known the saying is suppose to be; with great reward, comes great sacrifice and I say; yeah- to that too! It all feels overwhelming at times and sometimes I'm just overwhelmed at how blessed our family has been.
Blake has fount his place in our home as a permanent member relativity fast.
Blake loves having breakfast cooked for him and his clothes ironed for him before school every morning. However, I did catch Kevin getting his bath towel and washrag out of the linen closet for him and said "Kevin the kids is fifteen years old he can get his own towel"! Think the line between taken care of and right out spoiling could be a little blurred -not just with Blake but all three of our kids.
I love watching Trent grow this year. He is one of those kids that you have to set back and watch to from a far to really enjoy all of him. Goodhearted as they come but at times a little MUCH in the personalty department.
The screeching sound of brakes... Obviously, this was one of those unfinished blogs. Some things are still true in this blog like "Our lives have changed drastically",and "This truly has been the year of our lives, in a good way" and most defiantly "with much reward, comes many trials" but unfortunately some things have changed like,"Our home has a new full time member, Blake."
Here is the number one benefit to living a good clean life, when your trial comes, you know your good clean living will pay off. You know you have the Lords ear. This is not going to be easy. This may not end quick but I (make that) we know it WILL end and when it does I believe with all my heart that "Our home has a new full time member, Blake." will once again be a true statement.
The love that has been shown to us is unreal.
