Family vs. Family

What we expected vs. Reality

Today I am unable to focus on anything else other than how good our God is and how He makes everything beautiful in His time, how He knows what the future holds and prepares us for what He calls us to do. I am reflecting back on the past year of my life, which seems more like five years, to be honest.

When God's not finished...

...and I have now realized that He never is.

As long as we remain open to His plan (even if it seems "inconvenient"), to His blessings (even in disguise), to His promptings (no matter how "crazy" they may seem at times), He will continue to visibly work in and through us.

a wish and a prayer

October 27th. It's Jamesley's 2nd birthday.

I wish Jamesley was here to celebrate with us; We would have candles and his favorite cake. He would hear "I love you" at least a dozen times. I would smooch his sweet caramel cheeks and tell him how precious he is to us. We would give him the biggest bouncy ball we could find because that is his favorite type of toy. But he's not here, and we can't do those things. So we continue to hope in our Lord to make this situation beautiful, whatever beauty looks like to Him.
