Samuel baby update
Recently we emailed our lawyer expressing our frustrations about the progress of our case. After a few days of waiting we heard back from our lawyer and he said that the woman who was supposed to report to duty on Dec. 17th did NOT report to duty and therefore could not help relocate our case to another judge. He said that next Monday, January 4th, he is going to meet with her and will hopefully...
Tea Time
Maddix and Sophie got the…oh my goodness…cutest TIN tea sets from Nathan’s parents for Christmas. Sandy (Nathan’s mom) always gives really thoughtful and creative gifts. Maddix’s floral tea set was bundled in a mini pink PICNIC basket! I love the prints on the tea cups, saucers, and plates. Sandy also made a tablecloth for them to have tea parties on! Their tea sets...

This Christmas day has been surprisingly hard for me today. I have been doing really well the last few days about Samuel. This morning we prayed before opening our presents and as I prayed for Samuel I couldn’t hold in my tears any longer. My heart aches that he is there and we are here.
I am so thankful that I can call on my God every moment of the day. I am thankful that His Holy Spirit...
Dear husband,
I cannot wait to spend the next 2 weeks with you. I had the best day with you. Thank you for the sweet smile when I got teary eyed about missing Samuel baby. Thank you for playing barbies with Maddix. Thank you for going back into Maddix’s room and whispering “I love you” to her after tucking her in, just to make sure she knew it. Thank you for playing Santa...
I am nothing on my own.
Dear Journal,
I feel vulnerable. I feel overwhelmed. I feel lonely. One day I feel positive and happy, and then there are days like today, when the devil hits me hard, he tries to steal my joy, and I feel like a mountain is on-top of me.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I need you. I am a mess. I need Your favor. I need COMPLETE healing over my son’s body. Lord, won’t you please, please kick the...
WatchToday my genius, video making, picture taking, friend Liz came over and helped Maddix, Sophie, and I decorate Christmas cookies.
Watch this.
It’s the sweetest thing.
I love my girls.
They are insanely cute.
I am so blessed.
Today my heart feels heavy….waiting.
Funny thing is, if I would just give those feelings to Jesus the moment I feel the heaviness, fear, and worry coming…my day would be so much better and God would be pleased.
Because He can handle it.
And wants to.
Today the Lord gave me this verse:
“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Proverbs...
