a time to love!

 

to say my house is full of raging hormones is saying it mildly...

they are up then down, happy then mad, laughing then screaming!

we have seven "little to semi grown people" between the ages of 10 and 17

living under one roof... must i say more :)

 

i ran into a friend yesterday and she said i looked tired...

my response, "yep i am, happy but tired!"

 

alot of chapters have ended this week and new ones began...

Patrick graduated and turned 18 within 6 days...

*our dear friends, the kennedys, boarded a plane for Germany,

which was incredibly emotional!

*i have finalized ALL the paperwork for everyone at Social Security...

i'll miss my new friends there!

*i believe we have now gotten introductions over in every medical

office in the city of huntsville and some in madison!

*and last but not least... we have brought our home-schooling season

to a permanent close for now!

 

God has arranged everything in His perfect timing,

whether i get it, understand it or even like it... its perfect!

 

In Ecclesiastes 3:1 King Solomon writes... "There is a time

for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

i believe this truth with all my heart!

 

i wouldn't have been prepared for life today without many

seasons of change, hurt, trial and chaos that have come before. 

Only God knew when i'd be able to navigate the waters i now find myself in. 

 

Summer has arrived and i am so thrilled!

our first summer all together: its new, weird and exciting all in one.

 

this is where we will spend most of our time... just being a family:

 

 learning to love and appreciate each other!

 there are days that are so hard... when i want to question so much...

but on those days God gives me a reminder...

 

 

ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO OPEN OUR HEARTS TO MORE LOVE!!

 

God is love and that is what we are called to do!

 

If i have realized anything in this season, it is this...

 There is absolutely a time to love more and it is RIGHT NOW :)
