A Journey!!

Isaiah 43:

16 This is what the Lord says—

   he who made a way through the sea,

   a path through the mighty waters,

17 who drew out the chariots and horses,

   the army and reinforcements together,

and they lay there, never to rise again,

   extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18 “Forget the former things;

   do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing!

   Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

   and streams in the wasteland.

A verse for one of my favorite people in the whole world. I will continue to speak this!! Today is an amazing journey, that I am excited to see fulfilled!! This verse speaks volumes to what My God can do!!

One Proud Day....

Our Church :) 

Why oh Why??

Why oh why do funerals have such an effect on perspective?
Why can I not be this grateful for the life God has given me more often?
This is only a small token of my heart... :) So much to say.. so little space :) and seriously.. who would read it all!! ??  :)

With that I compose...

I love that my heart is not my own, that it belongs to my Father to guard and keep.

I love my Family. I would obviously not have the life i have without these families!!
    Dad- for giving me his humor. Well some people think i am funny!! :) and for loving me like a daughter needs his father to love her.
    Mom- for creating a passion for prayer and a heart to help people... and for loving the cold :)
    Patti- for being a sister, so many people can't say they have one... and teaching me all i know about Kraft Mac-n-cheese.. and having awesome offspring
    David- For being a chatterbox like me, I love it!! So glad you had the financial ability to adopt. I see
that as the heart of God--adoption! And I love Ellie!!!
    Rich- For being a constant.. yes i know.. a constant what is the true question.. ahahhaahh I truly have
    grown to love our chats and crazy phone conversations. Thanks for always having my back!


I Love My Inlaws and extended family

  I never really knew what a Mema & Grandaddy were... but i would not trade them for the world!! some things i have noticed i have discovered via Sellers family times~~ I would NOT know what nimitoads *nematodes* are, how to shell a pea, make a pound cake, have a freezer soup bowl, and one of my faves-- how to fold fitted sheets perfectly!! :)Along with this family i have some amazing cousins~ whom my little ones LOVE and can't wait to spend the rest of their lives with-- along with a great Aunt and Uncle!! Who just ROCK IT!! Especially the voices on those two! :)


I love my church
   Seriously... this section could go on and on and on and on.. with the droves of people who are stamped on my heart...
but I will keep it to my Pastors,
    My leaders, My God given family. I know without a shadow of doubt that I am the woman i am today due to the love care, concern, bluntness *yes thankful* and protectiveness of Pastor Mark and Crystal!
    The protection you gave when I didn't even know I needed it, the leading, the love, the prayers, and most of all the unconditional acceptance of me with all my failures, mothering *ahahhaahah*, and quirkiness!! :)

And Lastly but certainly not least is my Husband and kids..

    When i think of the man that stands at my side~ I am beyond thankful. I am not sure how we came together, how we came to be, how i won his heart~ but HECK YES am I sooo glad to be his wife. I have never met another man so gracious, so steady, so capable, so likable, and so true... and just think~ He's Mine! :) well i do have to share him with 3 amazing little people, which to my delight, resemble him so.
My Eldest Beautiful Caleb-- My own Ravi Z. My little miracle. My first born of which will have his moms heart FOREVER.. but i will learn to share.. :) in 15 years or so :) ahhahahahaha
My daughter Aubrey~ her dancing feet, her love of life, her beauty and heart for others... my own little Mother Theresa that i know will impact nations!!!! I adore her with a full heart and big smile...
My baby boy Josiah~~ Lover of life and all that it entails.. shared bday with Tim Tebow-- A boy with a strength and intelligence that is sometimes scary!! :) he is sooo like his father in stature and strength. I can not wait to see what he becomes!!!

This is just a small portion of my heart today.. as we say goodbye to a man who loved God first, his family, and God's creation.
May I always remember how precious my life is....
As always stated

I LOVE MY LIFE!! :) :)

A walk down memory lane...

 First day of school today was awesome!! (For Everyone)
First.. I had the day off and got to play mommy and photographer :) which they love the second part :) hahaha..
Second... kids love their school and their teachers look amazing!!!
Third... I got nostalgic
I decided to print all their first day of pictures and put in an album, but i could NOT find last years picture. I am pretty detailed in my storing of photos.. so i had to find them! Finally found them, but not without some laughs and tears...
I have not had the perfect life, or been the perfect  mom or wife or friend or disciple, but I LOVE my life and am so thankful for those things called forgiveness.. For Me! From Me! From the Cross!
ANYWHOOO :) pics below starting with Aubrey in PreK and Caleb in 2nd :)
SUCH CUTIES

I LOVE MY LIFE!! :)
