As I sit here on my back deck watching my young men goof off with their friend on this amazingly beautiful evening, I wonder how I got to be so blessed. I have an awesome husband who loves me beyond words, loves the Lord with all his heart, and is trying hard to raise our brood for the Lord. He works hard to support us and give us a comfortable life. I have some amazing children who are growing up too quickly and are beginning to learn how to make major life decisions. Yes, they give me headaches and gray hairs, but they are children still and have a long way to go. The terrible twos and threes are over, but with each phase of life I find I enjoy them more and more as they mature and grow into Godly young men and women. My boys make me laugh and help me, and my girls make me smile and help me. My baby just makes me wish he would stay small and stop growing so we can continue to cuddle and keep his clothes from getting bigger and overtaking the washing machine like everyone else's do. I have an amazing God Who loves me and knew me before time began. He answers prayers and hears me when I call. He sees me through every phase of life and guides me in all that I do.
And so as I look back over this summer and wish it had not flown by so fast, I look ahead to what God has in store for us over the rest of the year. A new kindergarten class awaits my teaching, with excitement and adventure just around the corner. Unknowns are scary too, but I trust that God has everything under control. I pray for a great school year, for peace to be on each of my children as they learn, safety to be upon our school, for wisdom and health for the teachers, and for a blessed school year overall. May God be glorified in all I do and may He continually watch over us and bless my family.
So as a fond farewell to summer, I want to post a few pictures of our highlights from the last few months - it has been a wonderful - extremely busy, but wonderful summer.
