HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIAN COLE (4/11)
I have been so busy with Maleah!! It's been a crazy couple of weeks :o) I keep reminding myself that this time will pass.. and then I'll wonder where the time went, and I'll miss it!!! That's how we are. That's how I am. Today, for example, is my boy's birthday. He is NINE!!! The time has flown, and I so miss the days of mispronounced words and the nights that we would cuddle on the couch and watch disney movies... now he can't even fit on my lap :o) He is growing into such a godly boy though. It brings joy to my heart as I witness godly character bringing maturity, conviction, love, patience, forgiveness without barriers... The maturity I've seen in him with Maleah and all the time she requires from Dillon and I is phenomenal. I have given him many opportunities to share his feelings on our new home environment & he is so sweet and seems almost baffled that I would ask him if he's feeling resentful or bitter about sharing his parents' time. He really is growing so big! His bday party is friday, hoping we don't get rained out. Right now there's a chance for storms and possible tornados :/ I have mostly outdoor games planned, but we can just move it inside if needed :)
I've battled with days of lonliness... striving to set my mind on things above where Christ is, instead of earthly bounds (Colossians 3:1-2). Dillon is my best friend, so during busy nights when he has commitments it can be rather daunting. I have not been reading consistently this week >> when I don't fill my mind with things that bring God joy and glory, I feel the result. Dillon and I spent a date night in Colossians; that helped us both tremendously. Some times we get in a "funk" and Hubby and I were both in that state. Spending cuddle time on the couch sharing our lives and God's Word was a beautiful time.
One of my BEST friends, Crystal, is here to spend time with the family and help with Julian's bday party preparations. She is sugar to my heart :o) I love having godly sisters come stay with me!! I love sharing life with my girls >> gives us the emotional and spiritual energy we need to continue steadfast on the journey called life.
Sola Fide my Friends
