In One Week

I can not believe that on Friday of next week my oldest, my beautiful daughter Karlee will graduate from high school!  Its a turning point in her life and mine.  She is going to start a new chapter in her story of her life.  I will start a new season in a some ways too, like being old enough to have a daughter graduating.....as I see white hair in the mix of my sandy blonde long hair.  I know I know 43 isn't that old I get that but I do have some grays and whites in my hair and I do have a daughter graduating from high school so I'm a little old!

I'm very proud of my daughter, she has grown up so much over these last 4 years of school, heck for that matter over this past year!

She is beautiful inside and out and I look forward to seeing what she reaches for and goes after this next year after high school.

I'm also a little sad.  She doesn't need me as much and I have to let her go a little more out into this big crazy world.  I have to let her fall and not be quick to pick her back up.  I need to keep praying that she will let God back into path so she can be strong in Him and not in herself.

I also pray that God will help me be there as I need to be for her in right moment.  I pray that he will continue to guide me always to know what to say and how to say it.  Show me how I can be there for her while letting God work in her heart and life.

Take a step back

Okay I just realized that we need to take a step back.  A step back to some joy and blessings!

So it was Mother's Day recently and My Birthday too!  So here are a few pictures that will express those two nice days.

One day these two surprised me by stopping by....right around lunch time lol....so I bought us Subway and we all had lunch together!  :)  Its crazy how much they have grown and changed! 

I had returned later in the evening after having a little rough emotional patch after swinging by Micah's and found these waiting for me from Karlee for Mother's Day.

Karlee surprised me at work with a yummy Birthday lunch and drink!

Karlee has really been showing me love and support with all the crazy emotional changes going on in our life.  She loves her momma!

Me and My girls!!!!!

Got myself a cute baby cake!  It was yummy!

Very thankful for my friends and family

The sun does shine in the midst of dark days of life!!!

Just when I thought things couldn't get anymore crazy in our lives!

The joy of finding a new place to live was recently shorten with a bittersweet twist.  The only thing I know to do is right now is to fall to my knees and cling.  Cling to the Lord and ask for his strength to run through me to lead my steps into another part of this journey that my daughters and I have started the moment we moved out and left Micah.

As time goes on and we get further into this journey I know I will share more and things will come out but until then its enough therapy for now for me to write down the words that I know that will keep me comforted and tied into the Lord is just knowing and trusting and continuing to stretch my faith in Him and Him alone.

And to be thankful that He has placed the right people in our lives and will continue to place the right people and situations and opportunities to keep us moving forward....moving forward together in His sweet arms of love and grace.
