ABSENT

i have been absent from the blog for a little while. there are a lot of changes coming to our family. changes i never saw coming. they have been hard and humbling. i am definately learning to truly live one day at a time, to cling to my awesome God throughout my day, and to only care about what is best for my family. i have already felt judged and in feeling that i have felt so sad for ever judging. i am learning to be slow to speak. just when i thought i had my life all figured out, God throws me a curve ball. through it all i see that He is just growing me and making me more dependent on Him. although these issues we are facing are icky at the same time it feels so good to have total reliance on Him! i know He already has everything mapped out and i rest in that. with that said, you all know i am addicted to instagram my name is fireface01. i cant stop taking pictures, it does help me to be thankful in the little things, thank you Ann Voscamp. here is some of our life lately. we celebrated a very special birthday, my baby turned 5 (tears), we have been enjoying disneyland and all the sweet moments in between. at the moment teegs (as his coach calls him) is towards the end of wrestling and just started flag football, tess started softball and tatum is about to begin soccer. yes a very full schedule, but exactly what i always dreamed of as a little girl. all i ever wanted to be was a mom. some days are harder than others but i am making the most of my job and trying to have fun while i do it too.

I am sorry Lauren... I hate trails. I like you, have been absent from blogging for the same reason. Stronger yes... but sometimes I would like to skip it - wouldn't you?! Ha.

I think of you often and I love you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
