I don't want to be Stuck....

"I don’t want to stay stuck. I don’t want the storyline of my faith to be eclipsed by a shift I was unwilling to make. If you’re feeling stuck, as I so often do, here’s a prayer to pray today…God, help me move forward at the speed of your direction and intention, no matter how painful the transition may be."~Steven Furtick (www.stevenfurtick.com)

When I first read  this, I had to read it a second time. This is my heart. I don't want to stay "stuck". I want the storyline of my faith to be changed. I know that God has been working in my life and in my heart the past few months...June 23rd was the day it all started. I lost my brother in law that day. The events that have continued to happen in my life and the life of my family....have seemed negative. There have been days that I honestly think, "What else?"....But then in my heart I hear this voice that says, "You are supposed to be learning from this life I have given you. Everything that you are experiencing is for a purpose. Don't just "get through" it....Learn from it. Depend on Me. Have Faith. See with My eyes. Know I am here for you. I will show you the purpose in due time." Did I actually "HEAR" those words...No. But it's the feeling that I have. So, I am trying to look at life that way. I know He has a plan for me. Praying, and trying to figure it all out. I know He will show me. In His time<3

Today as I was sitting in the pick up line, I decided that this would be my 365 photo...lol...Three schools, twice a day...drop off, pick up, drop off, pick up...The story of my life =) My 365 project isn't a "photography skill" project. It's a timeline. A story of our lives in 2012. I plan on putting the pics together as a book...Hopefully along the way. And when December 2012 comes to an end. I will have a photo a day...It may not be the most thought out, perfect shot. But they will tell a story. My story<3 and that's what matters to me<3

Ian had a wrestling tournament in Chattanooga today, 1/7/12. He was wrestling in his second match and got hit in the back of the head, and was knocked out. He experienced numbness in one of his arms, so as a precaution, the trainer at the tournament wanted to send him to the hospital to check him out. It was a scary moment. But we are so thankful that he is ok. He has a mild concussion. But other than a mild headache...Doing ok. Today, I have a couple of pics....Blessed.

 Waiting on CT results. Thankful for a good report. <3

Today we brought Chaz up to the house so he could meet his new "sister" Holly. He was so sweet to her. He actually layed down on his stomach so he could get close to her =) So Sweet. The only thing she didn't like about Chaz was he covered her in slobber...lol...

Today I recieved my first letter from our sponsered child in Uganda. <3 Nothing made me smile more than to see his hopes and dreams written on a piece a paper. The special drawings that he drew for us. It made our sponsership real....Love my photo of the day for today<3
