"The Sweet Brat Club" I feel like a "mom" for the first time in my life; I love them all like my own! Samson and Jennyka moved into my house, along with Simon, Gracie, and Katyna. It makes me so happy to have these children confide in me about the most simple details in their lives. I know a person would naturally wonder, "How could there be enough love to go around?" Sometimes it's trying, but with God as our Father there is more than enough love! Furthermore, how can we measure or put a limit on God's love? Or our love? How can I question why I am here when every morning I wake up to Marie Grace's giggle coming from her crib, Simon's big eyes looking at me, and Katyna's beautiful dimpled smile? They need me, and I need them. Every day Gracie brings a smile to my face! And THEN there is Samson peeing in his toothbrush cup because he didn't want to wake me to unlock the door! ;-) He actually did that! ha ha
I pray for my babies' safety. I have FAITH God will meet their needs and trust He will direct me in the path of being a just and virtuous woman.
Another prayer for myself is to learn and apply Proverbs 12 to my life!
"Whosoever loves instruction and correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is like a brutal beast, stupid, and indiscriminating. A good man obtains favor of the Lord, but a man of wicked devices he condemns. A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall never be moved." Proverbs 12:1-3

Hey Lacey! I'm not very used to blogspot, so I don't really know if I am commenting in the right section or not, but I just wanted to say hey! I went to Ruuska in 2008, and I am going back this summer for a couple weeks in July I think. I loved reading this and would love to talk to you more about, well, everything! I feel as if we have the same ambitions in life, and that's a rare find. My name is Taylor Beeler, and I'm a guy, not a female Taylor haha. which is also kindof rare. You can add me on facebook, or you can drop me an email at tjbeel01@moreheadstate.edu
ReplyDeleteI look forward to getting in contact with you!
Taylor
