So you think?

   The weather is breezy….The oceans are roaring……The lakes are quiet. Fall is coming and all the signs are here but the beautiful color it has to offer. We are close again to seeing all the marvels of our wonderful God. You think of our Hope, Faith, and Love. As God fearing women (not to offend the men who read this) we believe. We have love…..We have hope……but we really have faith. Faith is something to humble ourselves  in. We have faith in our God, families, friends, work, and in life. I have such a strong faith in our God. I think He is amazing, beautiful, glorious,graceful, peaceful, strong, merciful……well okay so I can go on and on and on. I have seen Him working in my family like I have never seen Him do before. My marriage, my children! We saw a miracle with Cameron and the battery. The miracle of life as we have seen it with the whole situation. Now we are on number two of God blessing our family. My big announcement is here. As some of you know and may not know but will now know (hey kinda funny)….Ready set here we go, Brandon is leaving for a year or so. Brandon is my strong willed child. Actually they all are but Brandon for sure. I can go into so much detail but you know I don't want to and don't have to. We are leaving on Tuesday to take him to Idaho to a place called Project Patch. Mike and I among others are very excited for this opportunity for Brandon. We feel we are acting in our best interest and his. God has been with us all the way and my faith in Him has remained strong and confident. We know this is the plan He has for our family. A brief story if you will. I went to call this place about 4 weeks before I did and decided I was over reacting to many things. 4 weeks later I decide to give this lady a call again and we had a great talk. We submitted a application and weeks later he was accepted. Now what's the big deal you say? They only take 18 boys and she happen to have 2 slots open the day I called. Also, I submitted the paperwork and all of the sudden so did many others. It was a race against time and other boys to get him in….naaa not really I left it all in Gods hands. He was accepted and we needed to find out about financials which happen to be another couple weeks later.When the financials came back it was way to much Mike and I knew right away we could not afford that in any way. I asked God many times if I was doing the right thing. I asked him to please close the doors financially if this was not His will. As He had opened the door so many other ways….(did I mention this place had been full with a waiting list for a year or so for boys)….So I graciously called her back and thanked her for her time and we believe at this time God has closed the door and it was not meant to be. After a few phone calls with her. She called me back with the most amazing news and the financials were cut by over 1/2…..God is amazing and good people. Also there is now up to a 12 week waiting list for boys…. I cant begin to tell you how I know with all my heart that this is meant to be. This is God being more clear than I have seen. I have diligently walked His way and leaned all of my trust and love on Him. He did not fail me. He rewarded me. He gave me hope and a future!!! Praise God from whom all blessings flow…..Is that not true or what?!  Thanks for reading! Happy weekend from my home to yours!

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
