My mom

My mom is the most important woman in my life. She was my best friend and someone I could tell anything to, that is until her mind become riddled with Alzheimer's. I love my mom dearly and there isnt anything I wouldnt do for her. It kills me to see her in the stage that she is in. She doesnt recognize me any longer. She can no longer communicate. She has a caregiver 24/7..someone to feed her, change her, bath her .....

I would give anything to have MY mom back...anything! But I know that isnt God's plan. Until that time he calls her home I will visit with her, bring her mochas and pray for her.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Bumpy Times...thankful times

I cant even begin to outline the adventure that Ryan and I are on right now.....everything is on the line....waiting for GOD'S Provision. We are waiting on funding for MobilePay. We are waiting on my credentials to clear so I can work while I go to Grad School. We are waiting on the health of Ryan's dad. We are waiting on the health of my mom. We are in a season of waiting, not to be confused with a season of wanting. We are not in want of anything. We are provided for and have everything we need. He provides Salvation, a roof over head and food on the table....what more can we ask of him? It is sometimes hard to see him in the midst of the chaos and craziness..but we know that he is there..leading the way.

There is so much to be Thankful for....
Family
A Healthy, Strong, Christ Centered Marriage
Good Health
Our Crazy Puppy
The Amazing house we live in
Food on the table and Clothes on our backs
The gifts and abilities that God has blessed us with
The ability to give back.....

We are thankful for the smooth times and the bumpy times, as it draws us even closer to God and closer as a family. Thank you, Lord, that you are with us wherever we go, near or far, and that You care deeply about us. Thank you for loving us just as we are and challenging us to strive to be more and more whole. Thank you for the many blessings in our lives.

Zack and the tide pools

About a week ago I took my nephew Zack down to the Tide Pools at Crystal Cove State Beach. We were hoping to see a lot more than we did, but it was still a fun adventure!
