So the last few weeks have been crazy, wonderful, stressful, pretty much every emotion you can think of, I have felt it. As we get closer to September I think could we just skip it and go straight to October, but then I'm sure I would miss many life lessons that the Lord has planned for me.
Over the last week I have been getting everything ready to start homeschooling Eli. He starts co-op on September 9th, and although I'm excited about him making friends and learning new things, it has been hard for me to come to terms with the fact that he is growing up. It has also been hard to realize that I must find a time to do schooling with him at home in all the crazy of our lives. So lots of praying and asking God to help me with this transition has been going on and I'm just gonna take it one day at a time. I'm learning that all I can do is pray and trust God to work out all things. So I'm excited and scared all at the same time.
On another note, mom will have her knee replacement on the 5th of September. This is one thing I am definitely not excited about. I never realized how much I depend on my mother. She is always there for me, which has been such a blessing. Now I'm faced with knowing that she will depend on me in many ways, and I am totally ready to repay her and gratefully so...but as a woman I worry and I let my anxiety get the best of me. So if you read this, (I don't know how many actually do) please pray for me and my family.
On a happier note, we have had some wonderful time together as a family of 4! We went to downtown Greenville and walked around at Falls Park. We went to our family reunion on my dad's side of the family, and we took the boys to Otter Creek Waterpark. We also had Micah's one year old pictures made since he will be turning one September 18th! Man time sure does fly. I can't believe he is going to turn one soon, but I am excited about his party! I'm doing a little man mustache party, and he is gonna be to adorable for words! Well at least he will be to me but lets face it I'm biased:)
So here are some pics of all the fun we've been having I hope you enjoy them!

This crazy life!
So if you have been reading my other posts you know that life has been a little crazy for our family these last few months! With dads heart and lung problems and moms blood and knee problems the world has been a roller coaster without the fun involved.
So the roller coaster continues, now my mom will have to have a knee replacement. And of course they scheduled this surgery for September 5 and right when I am planning my youngest sons 1st birthday party. So now its looking like mom may miss that blessed event and it makes us both sad. Also I start homeschooling Eli at this time and he has his first day of Co-op on the 9th of September. So I'm sad and nervous about all these things happening so fast and at the same time. As I was thinking about how much this sucks and that the timing is bad, the Lord really spoke to me, well more like slapped me in the face. He brought me back to Psalm 139 and Lamentations 3: 22-40. God is my portion and He is my hope in all things. He knows my wickedness yet He loves me still. There are so many out there who have it way worse than me and many that don't know the Lord and have no hope, because He is not in there hearts. I am so blessed that the Lord calls me His. So blessed that in the midst of this darkness He shows me light!
So all my prayer warrior friends out there please be in prayer for my family as we go through all these things. I know that the Lord is molding us for His good. Please pray that we don't loose sight of this wonderful thing, and that we let the Lord use it to sanctify us and bring us closer to Him.
