Only the Beginning...

12. Thomas being home, forever.
13. Ice cream on the porch with my favorite boys.
14. Morning walks with my sweetheart. 
15. Sweet moments babysitting my girls.
16. Kisses every day.
17. God's loving hand in my life, every day.


Yes, that's right, Thomas is home FOREVER! I never thought I'd see the day!... Well, I did, but it's just so amazing that it's finally here. It has been so much fun being able to make long term plans and not worry about him having to leave. Right now it feels like we're almost on cruise control, adjusting to the plans God is setting before us. God of course is teaching us how to shift into different gears now, He's actually teaching us a lot so far. I know that as this year goes by, God will have done a lot. I know that as the years continue to go by, God will do even more. 
God and I have had some good time together lately, I've been praying about some specific things, some things I'm frustrated with, some things I'm worried about, some things that I'm not actually worried about surprisingly enough, and some things I'm seeking self control in. Although there are not definite answers to all of those prayers, I know I'm not put on hold, I am just waiting for God's timing in those things. 
I'm sure that if I wrote down all of my questions and thoughts on paper no one would be able to answer all of them, and it's comforting knowing that God can and that He will always lead me to do what's best for me, and in turn, glorify Himself. 
All I can say is, I still need God leading me towards the way I'm supposed to go. 
One thing that has always boggled my brain is how people DON'T believe in God. When you think about it, some of their reasoning seems logical - but when it all comes down to it, what do our human minds really know? All that I do know is that God has my heart on a silver platter. I feel like a true princess in the eyes of the King. How could you NOT want to be saved? Who sincerely wants to be fully responsible for themselves? 




The world keeps moving, I just keep standing still
Look at all you're doing, nothing could fill my heart like you do.




Well, this is the busiest month I've seen all year, and it's already the 5th month of the year. I can't believe this year is practically over. 
Thursday night I'm going to the free Switchfoot concert with Thomas and the boys. 
Friday night I'm going to Kara's play with Thomas. 
Next Thursday I leave for Michigan with the Pinckney's to go to Jonathan and Kandyce's wedding!
That next Tuesday morning I leave bright and early for camp. 


Do I really get no rest? What is this?!?!?! Oh well, it's all for the Lord! I know He will do AMAZING things this summer, and I can already think of one that's probably going to make me cry. ;) ;) <3 <3 <3 <3 haha
