Who writes this stuff?

I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

Waiting for August


Some friends of ours wanted to add to their family. So they prayed, and they felt God telling them to "wait for August".

 Waiting happened. Things they didn't expect had to be worked through, and there were moments when it felt that August was a really long way away, and a lot of work and pain. But, through trust, and hope, and WAITING, August arrived.

 And he is so beautiful.
I watched him and two of his siblings the other day and so enjoyed having a baby around. 
His big sister thinks he is her baby. 
Cole is one of Canaan's best friends. 
(I don't know where Canaan's shirt was... Boys!) 

When August's Mommy came to get him, she stayed to talk awhile. 
I caught these pictures of her giving him kisses, and then him returning the favor.






August was worth the wait. 
God's timing is always worth the wait. 
What are you waiting for? 
Wait with anticipation, and faith, and most of all with joy.
