New steps

So the morning goes by and we begin with the Morning Devotions sitting around the table.

The Devotions are given every morning but what makes it fun is that the girls all share one day. What a joy that has been. Mya Mondays', Tia Tuesdays', Wednesdays' - me, Thursdays' Emily and Faith Fridays'. Saturday (on your own thoughts) and Sundays' the Man PREACHES to us all ;-). Monday through Friday Kent leads us in worship and it really is a treat to hear all of the family singing in harmony - even "Haddy" (who by the way LOVES music)!

Speaking of Haddy singing & moving; she is like the wind lately, 9 months old and she is now totally mobile! She crawls, pulls up - and walks around furniture, now thanks to her oldest sister she began climbing up . . . STAIRS - YIKES!!!! This last week she seems to have mastered all of them rather quickly. I'm okay with her wanting to "walk solo - later" just because I am savoring the moments of the lasts of the "firsts".

Her wee little steps has made me reminisce the past wee steps of all the girls and how grateful I am to be able to praise the King of Kings for Life! Life granted from Heaven for five girls to be in our home. Five beautiful girls . . . preciously given to me when I really don't deserve to have them. I know each of the new steps in the season they are in, are to prepare them for what lies ahead in their futures. From Hadassahs' firsts this past nine months to Myas' over the last 17 years, they are all prayed over - each and every step. New steps for each of them because none of them are the same. STEPS ~ None of them will take them down the same road but all of them are to Glorify the Lord and bring Praise to him with each new step. Some hard steps and others a bit easier, however the steps that effect us individually or as a whole they are our steps of choice.

Kent and my steps have made us who we are together as ONE and individually. I am just grateful that the good Lord of my life gives new steps each and every day to take and many of them are in FAITH yes our walking steps.

Where are your New Steps taking you today?


ps Haddy's taking the picture - JK! She is sleeping in the bleachers.
