Happy Birthday, Darlin'

In May of 2006 we sold our first home. We were in dire need of a larger one since we had 5 children. The last week of May we were in the process of moving our belongings into storage and getting ready to remodel the home we were purchasing, when out of the clear blue-- the line appeared! I remember taking Michael breakfast that Monday morning after I had taken the kids to school and taking the test. He came out to the van and said " What's wrong", I looked at him and said, " I took a pregnancy test".. He just smiled and said "well you must be pregnant since you are telling me that you took the test" but then he said the sweetest thing that made all the difference. 'Honey, we have never been more prepared in our whole lives. It will be fine. God will take care of us." Michael has a great since of humor, he claims it is peeing on the stick that gets you pregnant! (lol) But, talk about stress, we were moving in with my husbands parents for four ...

What God has joined together...

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:6-9  The past two weeks have been quite eventful for my family. We had a wonderful Christmas. It was great to have all of my children at home. I know that the times are changing, and this will become a rarity. Next Christmas could be very different. With Devyn being engaged to Joel, she will be moving to Fort Hood Texas very soon. While it does sadden me, I am thrilled for her.  This young man is what we have prayed for. Since she was a toddler we have prayed over her. We prayed for her protection, guidance, health and for her future and her future husband. So I guess you can say we have been praying for Joel for a long time. We asked the Lord to give her someone that Loved Hi...
