Seasons....

So, it's been a week or so since I last wrote.... & I've got quite a bit going on in my brain, so I'm not sure if this is going to be short n' sweet....?

God has been doing alot with us this summer. There's been alot of "stirring", but it's been good.
JC and I have really enjoyed the summer with our boys. It's been a fun, but very busy summer. Mainly, JC's work load, which is huge, is what makes the summer fly by. He is pretty consumed by his business, but that is a huge blessing too - better than the latter! :-) I am good - just a bit tired. My boys have both turned a corner in the last month, where their energy levels & interaction with one another is truly amazing, but crazy at the same time. From every little thing boys do, well, mine have done it! ha! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being home with my boys, to train, teach, mold, develop and nuture - however, as any mother knows, it's work. My rewards are priceless & treasured. I have held every moment, difficult or not, with my boys in a little golden, treasure box in my heart. It's times like these, that I cherish, grow & learn the most!

As the summer has dwindled, we've walked through different "seasons" of good change. Change that is creating us into who GOD desires for us to be, as husband & wife, parents & for my boys as well.
JC is an amazing team player in all of this. He is an amazing husband, father, best friend & son. I couldn't have been more blessed when God brought him into my life! I am honored to be his wife. He chooses each day to love God first, his family second & then everything else just falls into place. It's my husband who reminds me that whatever "season" we are in, is when we give our best, regardless of how hard or easy it may be. JC is my rock & I love doing life with him!

Seasons do however, ebb & flow...... & are apart of who we are & how God carries us through each one.

We are looking forward to this new season of change, as we are moving! yay! October 1st!!!! wahoo!!!! God brought us a beautiful house, in a very much desirable neighborhood. This house was built in the 50's, so it's got all the old, nice hardwood flooring we love, solid house, built well, new roof, all kinds of beautiful upgrades & amenities that the owners have put their heart & soul into. It's a one-story, which we love. It's not huge, which we prefer & yet it's got years and years of us growing with it. The biggest blessing about this house, is that the location is perfect, the neighborhood couldn't be any more ideal for a growing family like ours & best of all, it's got a working garage, nice long driveway, & a 1/2 acre of a yard in the back w/ a beautiful oak tree as it's centerpiece! Having lived in apartments for the past 5 years with no yard, no storage, this couldn't be any more wonderful!! Now who doesn't think God is in the details!!!

He always give us the best and more! We are thrilled for this blessing of a house! There's so much potential and what we love, is that we are adding our own touches, that will make it ours. We can buy it, but we're in no hurry to do that. Just taking it one day at a time as renters. It's easier that way. The fact that we can move in, in a little over a month, is exciting too! We'll be in there by fall. yay!

I trust God, no matter what. Even when nothing makes sense, even when there are no answers, even when hard times come. I knew He would have something special for us. This house is my home. I can't thank God enough for all He has done & is doing. He's not finished with us yet - the amazing stuff, has ONLY BEGUN!

So, this next "season" God will carry us....He will have the answers & He will direct our every footstep. We are to simply soak ourselves in His love daily & trust in His plans. If tomorrow, this house slipped through our fingers for some reason, then Praise God! I don't want it, if it's not God's will. His will for us is perfect. Trusting in that alone.

We will be busy this next month, packing, pitching, purging, organizing & preparing, so if you read this, please keep us in your prayers. Thank you!
More seasons to come, I'm sure....until next time....love all you blog readers.....
