So, the last two weeks have been extremely busy...me working everyday after a summer of hardly working at all. I missed my children.

They are both so uniquely different. I LOVE THEM. Words don't do justice to what I feel for them sometime.I look at their sweet little faces and it makes me think of God.
mmm...how He must love us. Crazy Love.
David and I are reading the book called Crazy Love. It is a brilliant reminder of how wonderful and big our God is. Our God cannot be contained. He is limitless. There are no earthly words to describe the holy God. We serve a God who made the galaxies and sits high on His throne...and yet...sent His son to come to this earth and die for you and me.
Crazy love.+(Medium)+(Small).jpg)

My children are a constant reminder of God's love...the only way I can understand it, anyway. For the bible says we know in part, but one day, we will know fully...(somewhere in 1 Corinthians 13). What a tremendous burden and responsibility I feel. Yet, it is a wonderful burden
I try not to worry, though. TRY being the operative word. After all, I think, they aren't really mine Lord. You gave them to me for a very short time. Life is like a vapor.
This was the first week of school....enough said.
It always gets me thinking. Then I get all emotional. Can't help it.

It was a good week, despite picking up my son early on the first day of school because of a fever. Then, missing Tuesday and Thursday of school because of stomach pain. We hopefully have it under control and the cramping will end soon.
He didn't want to get out of the car this morning. Life is hard...when you are 6 years old and you have to venture out to a part of the school you have never seen before. It was always there, but he didn't even notice it. Now, it is the "unknown" that scares him a little. I can't blame him. I remember what it felt like experiencing new teachers and trying to make new friends in 8 different schools from kindergarten to 12th grade.
It's hard. BUT, inevitably it's the little things that will make him grow and stretch and hopefully depend on God when life's trials come in like a flood.

Oh...I am crying thinking about your babies growing up! They look so 'old' walking into school. I am coming to realize that whatever I am thinking about your kiddos, I will be thinking of my own in the same light. I remember thinking how OLD Landen was when Thomas was a little baby & then I look at Thomas realizing he is even older than Landen at the time. Does that make sense? Give them a hug from us. Football season games officially start next Friday and we really hope to see you guys! I may even try to clean the house for you.
