Life Stories

What story did He choose for you? Reading the blog -Bring the Rain, I realized that we all have our stories that we need to tell through His words. He wrote our life story, and it is up to us to tell it in His glory. Like many stories, we often don't agree with certain plots, certain events, but the author has reasons for writing them in, and so does He. It's ok to talk to Him and question Him, but in the end learn to trust Him. For He knows exactly what He is doing, He wrote our life story before our life even began. We all have amzing stories to tell, some with more 'drama' than others, but they all need to be told in His words, so share yours, it may make a difference in someone's life.

My Story, His Words (Coming Soon... stay tuned)!

A Celebration

Yesterday we celebrated Victoria's 15th birthday, a Quinceanera. She looked beautiful. According to my daughter, she was Belle (Beauty and the Beast). But in my opinion, she was a lot prettier than any Disney Princess ;)! And YES, I have pictures to prove it.

Here is Victoria... AKA Princess Belle

Dancing with her daddy...

Opening her gift...

Charlie's Angels... LOL!

Her lecture stance...





It was a beautiful celebration and everyone had a great time- even Jayda, who quickly got over the fact that their was NO moon jump (a birthday party with no moon jump-- tell me it ain't so)! But, now I think she will expect birthday parties like this from now on!!!! She literally was in awe of Princess Belle all night long and when we left last night she quickly informed us that she had "lots of fun at Victoria's party". Happy Birthday Victoria... we LOVE you! Edited to add... YAY... finally charged my 'good' camera... much nicer pictures!

Family

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

My family, what can I say? They are great, fun, reliable, amazing, awesome, etc, etc. I couldn't imagine life without them, any of them. I think people only dream of having a family like what I have. Seriously. We are close, we are always there for each other and I know I can ALWAYS count on them, whether it's a babysitter, a shoulder to cry on or a simple laugh.

My grandparents- so strong, so loving and have I mentioned awesome!?!

My aunts, my crazy aunts! Oh how I love them so!! The way they find the fun in anything is awesome! The way they party out at our parties you would think they did some heavy drinking ;)!!

And my cousins, my sisters. They are beautiful and I hope they know that I am here for them always!

You can imitate, but you can't duplicate this family!!! ;)

Always Remember...

If God brings you to it,

He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God,

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.
