Beautiful things...

I woke up Friday night and could not go back to sleep. I was thinking of all the things that are beautiful to me and this is what I found...
a persevering heart, a forgiving spirit, sacrifice, passion for the lost, laughter, a humble heart, a teachable spirit, enjoying children, someone who listens well, uniqueness, flexibility, uplifting ones husband, curiousity....

this beauty is what I see in so many of my friends and for today I am thankful for beauty.

Diavolo!

Friday night I got to meet my sweet friend, Lauren's sister and brother-in-law!!! They travel with a dance company and perform in Diavolo. Chrys and I got to go for free (super sweet of Crystal and David...the performers)! It was a great show and they did amazing! Very fun to watch! We got to meet Crystal and David after the show and visit for a several minutes!!!!!

Oliver and the girls

We invited Oliver over last night and we had so much fun with him! He kept us entertained!! Mia fed Oliver some yummy oats and yogurt,we went for a walk to see some horses, we went to get sno-cones (hence the blue tongue on Abbey), we went to the park, then we came home and got a bath! He liked playing at our house so much and we liked it too!! Thanks Oliver!!!!

Mandi...this is for you!

I was packing today and found two of my old Southern Belle Drill Team shirts. I gave them to the girls and this is how they came out...

Good ole times as a Southern Belle!!!!

"The Lord will fight for you..."

"...and you shall hold your peace" Ex 14:14. The Lord gave me peace with this verse a couple of weeks ago and I am clinging to it. I love it... it covers a multitude of my trust issues or fears.
A sweet friend sent me a card yesterday that had a verse in it that I was looking for "In his heart a man plans his course but the Lord determines his steps. " Prov 16:9 I am so thankful that He directs my steps and His timing! Thank you for all of your faithful prayers. We will be moving in a couple of weeks and keep you guys updated!!!

Beautiful Springtime

We stopped at our land on our way to see Nonnie and Poppie. The girls picked beautiful flowers for Nonnie and we got to ride in a paddle boat around the pond...which the girls loved. We then stopped at the stables to pet the horses which the girls loved even more!!!!

We are still here!

We are learning to wait on the Lord! There are some days that we grow weary of waiting and some days that we are just thankful for this time. We are ready to move on to Houston but for some reason the Lord has not allowed for that transition to occur. Wes travels almost every week there. We have not sold our house yet and the two places that were offered for us to stay have been somewhat dismissed. We will see soon what God has in store for us. It seems like a long time of transition but I know there are others that have had to wait for years for the Lord to do things in their lives so for now I am just asking for a thankful spirit and to be faithful where I am at. Thanks for everyone's prayers, we appreciate you guys that love us so well! Have a great afternoon...love you guys mitz
