Changing of Seasons

My walk (which is usually with Kent at night) early this morning was a peaceful and ponder moment. As The humidity was slight and a cool breeze with perfect hues of every color of the coming change of seasons I had time to think. I had already eaten breakfast with Kent & the "babies" (which really aren't the 'BABIES' any longer) and read about Nehemiah's perseverance to rebuild the wall. Thus it gave inspiration to take an early morning walk.
Okay enough rambling. Changing of seasons is beginning in many ways ~ especially in our home. Mya and Tia are now both registered for Sr. High - YIKES! Kent has great vision rekindled after Sunday our mission team shared "sermon" and we visited with Ronnie and Darlene Epps until almost 4 p.m. over a meal. I am beginning a NEW position in a different elementary school. So the "babies" and I will all be in the same building at different grade levels. And last but definitely not last we will find out in a week and a half if we are carrying twins or not. :-) Mya is also going Through a new transition herself with Chaz leaving to college. He is a great guy who has been a spiritual pillar who encourages her, and whom we approve of :-) (He's a KEEPER!). Not only are we seeing the changing of seasons but so are our lives experiencing the changing of seasons!

The girls are growing up sooooo very quickly. Our ministry is "happening" and it is going through growing pains of change. Kent and I are "beginning from the beginning again" very soon. The "babies" will pass on their baton. Changing of Seasons . . . I do enjoy them and this morning it was refreshing just to ENJOY everything around me and to reflected and also cast a vision for what God has possibilities for futures.
It is time for us to update our family picture and to remember the joy of the changing of seasons of our lives. It really is but a mist. I just Thank the Lord for the Joys given from Heaven in creation and giving yet another moment to live them together. I have prayed for YEARS for these changing seasons in my life and those who are, and have been a part of it and those yet to come. Now as I reflect I am very thankful for each season, even the difficult ones because it has developed our character to be stronger in HIM!

I just found your blog through a comment on Joy's! Well hello! I hear you and I are in a very similar situation. We too are expecting our 5th blessing from God. We have 4 boys and are eager to see what God has in store for our family. I too have a blog documenting our journey to the family God has called us. I love reading up on you guys. My how the girls have grown! It's amazing to me that my children are now the kids all the campers are growing up with. We love you both and think of you often. You have blessed our lives. In Him, Shannon
