Whatcha Doing?

So it's September. 
Can you believe it's September?!!!
I haven't planned a menu since January... and we have survived!  Surprising, I know!
A year ago today our neighbor called to let us know that wildfires were near by while we were many states away.  We kept vacationing and our house survived.
But, we have done so much more than survive.  Our family has thrived!
I honestly can't believe all that we have come through in the last year.
Two replaced transmissions (on two totally different vehicles).  Not cheap, but God provided!
Two readoptions (and I acted as our lawyer!).  Amazing!
13 broken bones in just over a year (in the same child) and she still has a great go get 'em attitude!
Innumerable little 'God moments'.
Countless BIG 'God moments'.
Self realization.
Treachery from others (toward our family).
Extended family visiting for an extended period of time.
Opening our home to friends.
The death of a cat.
Overcoming not being the 'perfect' mom.
The loss of a dog.
Two majorly sprained ankles (me, same ankle).
So many tough moments that make you cry out to God (and He answers).
Relationships healed.
Hearts mended.





Fun from our weekend getaway

















E's first day of school

I am truly blessed!

What have you done for God lately?  Until you put yourself out there, you won't be able to experience how much He gives back.
