God's Timing

It's amazing to me how God works even when we aren't paying attention.  First of all it's been way too long since my last post.  Life has been incredibly busy...well work has been incredibly busy and I've been working very long hours.  So bottom line I haven't had much free time to post anything or even think about posting anything. 

Doug and I had a wonderful summer.  We didn't do anything super exciting just spent a lot of time at the beach, reading and relaxing.  Our time there is always so short.  We really have enjoyed the blessings God has given us and the opportunities he has provided.  I know I've said it a million times but I'm so thankful for my husband- God definitely knew what he was doing when he brought me Doug. 

Okay so back to God's timing.  I've struggled over the last several years with the fact that we haven't been able to have children.  And earlier this summer God placed a special person in my life that has really helped me truly appreciate the blessings I have and helped my heart heal by sharing her love and friendship.  God really does know what he's doing! 

Back in September I was also able to go visit my family and celebrate 7 birthdays!  Yes 7!  There are 10 people in my immediate family on my side and 7 of them have birthdays in Sept-Nov.  So my whole family went to the Pumpkin Patch to enjoy a fun day of corn mazes, pig races and hayrides.  Then we celebrated the birthdays- Mom, Salou, Dad, Jason, Kade, Amanda Lee and Bintou.  Whew...took us forever to get through the gifts :)  So glad to spend time with family!




Can you tell they enjoyed picking out their Pumpkins?
