This is JOY

This brings me joy every day.....these people, big and small that God has blessed me with ;)

Our Destiny

"We cannot amputate our history and fulfill our destiny." ~Beth Moore

In other words.... We can't be the person we are destined to be
without journeying through life with our experiences, good and bad, in tote.
We can't be the person God is preparing us to be without the journey and
without the history.

So whatever season of life you are right now.....just know that

the road you are traveling are stepping stones.

Stepping stones that are leading you down the path

every day into a stronger and more beautiful person.

A person full of courage and peace.

A person who is living of life of JOY and PEACE.

Face forward into the bright horizon.

And not looking back with shame but thankful

from where God has brought us out of and is leading Home.

Because our destiny isn't who we were....Our destiny is who we

are today and how we choose to keep growing into the

person God has called us to be.

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

Pictures--Weekend Fun

We had another busy but fun weekend.....Our annual Pops Concert/Porkburger Dinner/Art Show was Saturday night and Jase's kids did awesome as always.

Lil Miss Aubrie did super!!! And since the gym was packed full and hot it was the perfect time to break out her adorable dresses that she will be growing out of quickly if the weather don't warm up soonly!!!

My "little sister"/babysitter Kamryn.....her grade did fantastical!!!

Paige and Doug came to be with our monkies while we were at Pops....and our kids love them!

Afterwards, we celebrated Paige and Gabe's bdays since they are only a week apart.

We love you Doug & Paige!!!!!

And they got Gabe Lightening McQueen cars!!!! He's been sleeping with them every night!
