Blessed with Six

1 Corinthians 2:9 is one of my favorite verses, "However, as it is written, no eye has seen, no hear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.." We can not fathom what the Lord has in store for us once we get to Glory with Him. I also believe that he has great things in store for us here on earth while we are waiting. Things we can not even wrap our minds around. He loves us and wants to bless us and our children. Earlier I wrote about amazing things that the Lord is doing in the lives of my children. Daulton is at an exciting time in his life. Devyn is experiencing the same.  I know I write about her a lot. She is my oldest, so everything with her is a first for me. I want to share so maybe it can help another mother going through the same things.  Devyn is my strong willed girl. Focused on her studies and on her walk with the Lord. She has also never been one to fit in with a particular crowd. She would try her best to fit...

More like a hard days week. I am not going to sugar coat it. This has been the hardest week in the 38 years that I have been alive on this earth. I know that I will have to face harder times in my life, but this one has pierced my soul. I have been told by several people that have been through their child leaving for college about how hard it is. Nothing can describe it or prepare you for it until you actually go through it. For months before he left I was mentally preparing. I knew it was going to be hard. I was not prepared for watching my son in the review mirror watching us drive away with tears in his eyes. I was also not prepared for was his four younger siblings crying on the way home for about three hours. It never dawned on me that they would be upset. I guess because Daulton spent most of the summer with his girlfriend. So he wasn't around much. I couldn't cry on the way home because I needed to be strong for them. I need to let them know that this is part of life...
