ALONE?????

So someone said to me "I bet you feel SO alone right now".... and as much as I appreciated their concern and sympathy towards my situation, I thanked GOD over and over for HIS truth which has sustained me. I answered and said, I believe with all my heart the Word of God is true and knowable and God CLEARLY states:

Hebrews 13:5 "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU".

Isaiah 54:5 "For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth"

Any child of God is NEVER alone.

If you are reading this and "feel" alone, trust God at HIS WORD.... it's the ONLY thing we CAN trust! Be encouraged and KNOW that the God who created the heavens and the earth will never leave YOU, if you are His.

The Gentle Barn

We enjoyed an afternoon out away from the "chaos" of life's circumstances. We went to the "gentle barn", a place where they have rescued animals from either abuse or slaughter houses. The older two LOVED it, while the twins weren't too thrilled with all the large "doggies". It was a lot of fun just getting away and enjoying the simple things of life again. I loved seeing the smiles return to the kids faces.... they've aged YEARS in a few weeks and it was wonderful seeing them be kids again. Thank you Lord.

Each day....

My prayer each day is:

Romans 12:1 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."

and I need to remind myself throughout the day:

1 Cor. 1:9 "God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

If God has called me for a purpose, He is FAITHFUL to equip me for that calling. I believe this by FAITH.

So here are a few of my little "callings"..... my gifts from God:)

I'm back....






So much to catch up on. The twins have just turned 2! It was fun having 2 babies turning 2 on the 22nd of the 2nd month!!! We didn't do too much, we had a friend in town along with Mimi and Diddy so we did cake and ice cream! Mimi got the twins their own travel suitcase which will come in QUITE handy in the weeks/months to come. THANK YOU MIMI!


Both Slade and Ramsey are repeating EVERYTHING we say. They love learning new words and Keller and Saylor love teaching them! I love watching all 4 sit down and play together, amazing to watch and observe these 4 little people that God has entrusted me with. I'm realizing what a HUGE call it is to be a "mother". Our lives have truly taken a path we never expected, but gladly welcome because we know God is in control and is allowing it.

2 days before Christmas Kingsley left us. The week prior he wanted to separate, then he decided it was final and wanted to move forward towards divorce. He has since moved to New Jersey to start a new life. The details of all that has happened are irrelevant at this point, but I say this because much of what I'm learning and growing through are a result of his choices. God has graciously allowed me to have a love in my heart for him that surpasses that of a husband/wife relationship. I continuously thank God for that blessing, for if my heart has only love in regards to him, there is no room for anger or bitterness, which would indeed be the temptation of my flesh.

January 14th the divorce proceedings began. Please pray for us as we venture into the unknowns of our future. We give ourselves over to the ONE who does know our future though and we thank God everyday for the sufferings that will grow us and mold us into who HE wants us to be. We give all praise and glory to God for the many blessings HE continues to give us. As I blog more I will share what some of those things have been.

For now, here are some new pictures......
