AND IN MY WORLD A PICTURE REALLY IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!!!

Mackenzie got an extra sweet surprise from her Nana tonight for her special pink game!


Meredith True is a joy, a miracle from God!  She delights our hearts and fills our home with a laughter that was long overdue! :)

There is absolutely nothing more precious to me than to see these amazing girls stand arm in arm paying tribute to our Freedom!  The emotion that comes from watching these girls could empower and inspire anyone!  They are an amazing example to their peers and I am proud to get to share in this experience with them.

This picture was taken just as Mackenzie was getting ready to warm up! On facebook I posted how very very blessed I am. Mackenzie is a miracle from God!  God sent her into my life to save me from destruction. I was lost...lost in a world full of sin.  God put the squeeze on me at a very young age and I was at a fork in the road.  Left or Right?  Not having her was never an option....God is the giver of life...He gives and he takes.  In my wildest dreams would I imagine how blessed beyond measure I would be!  Our quiver is full and our lives are an amazing journey!  As we all know from my previous post, I only have one year with Mackenzie in our home full time!  I plan on cherishing every last moment with her.  I have prayed for this child since she was born.  I have journals, notes, and many many letters praying for her future and asking God to protect her heart, to give her a Godly mate, to help guide me as I train her up in the way she should go!  She is so much more than I could have ever prayed for!  So much more than I could have ever asked for!  She once asked me if she was a surprise....and I have always told her that God knew she was coming before I did!  God is good....I am enjoying every moment of this special tender time in our lives!  Thank you God for these precious precious lives and give me the strength to go on....and complete my journey as their mother and to count my blessings every single day!  I will never forget the words I heard at a womens conference.  If you are not covering your children in prayer, you are leaving their lives to chance!  I wasn't willing to do that 17 years ago and I am not willing to do it now!  Until next time may you all have time to stop and ponder a thought or two!  Pick up a picture and just see where it takes you....See if it takes you to a thousand words!!!!
