Goodbye Dinner "FBC Girl's Night"



This is a wonderful group of ladies from First Baptist Church of Weymouth.  I am so thankful for all of these women.  Women who have made a place for my family in their church, live's, and prayer's.

This is a goodbye dinner for me.  It was a wonderful night, to remember friends who have become a part of who I am.  I am a people person and life as a nomad takes it's toll on my self-esteem.  All of these women opened their hearts to us,  knowing we were temporal.  The women at FBC have shown me the character of the Proverb's 31 woman.  Alway loving, kind, willing to help, devoted to prayer, and always seeking to please God.  Girls' although our time was short the friendship's I developed will remain with me forever!  Thank you for being Godly friends!

Loving The Laughter In The Other Room




I sit here with a smile in my heart, and on my face.  I am listening to the sound of three very happy, content, spirited, and sweet boys playing with their dad.  Most of the time I take advantage of the sweet sounds around me.  Having three boys is often times more excitement than I can maintain.  I often mistake their playful laughter, for out of control hyperactivity.  As mom's we have a BIG job.  BIG jobs are not easy, and require a lot of time, concern, attention, discernment, and patience.  Only God gives me the strength, sensitivity, attentiveness, authority, and gentleness I need to raise these "wonderful" rambunctious boys.  I fail more than I achieve!  The laughter I hear at this moment tell's me that my boys know they're loved and protected.  I will continue to seek God's wisdom in this journey raising my boys.  Although I know guilt will desire to set root in my heart for what I do wrong.  I will remember this spirit, this laughter, and this moment.  I will remember God's love and the blessing of laughter in our home.
