growing up so fast





I can't believe how much my munchkin has grown in the past two years! They warned me that it goes by fast, but I really didn't understand until it happened to me. She has taught me so much about myself and I am so thankful that God would choose us to raise her. 

changes are scary




So much has changed in just the last month. We had decided to let go of some of our big goals and focus on our growing family. Then an opportunity that pretty much came out of nowhere opened up for us to move to a bigger place. Honestly, I didn't even want to entertain the idea because I had settled on the fact that we would stay put for another year right where we were. This was the easier thing to do because everything we needed was already in place and our life had become familiar here in Sun Valley (annoying street potholes and all). Well, looks like things are moving along towards Ventura County and the new place. I am excited of course, but also nervous about leaving the valley where I have spent so much of my life. Nervous about being in a new neighborhood, and starting over in a place I don't know much about. Being uprooted can be deadly, just like it can be for plants, but I also know that if the process is done right, it can also be beneficial to helping the plant grow bigger, stronger, and even help the plant life all around it too. So, I am trying to let go of this familiarity that I am leaning on and instead lean on God's character, which is never-changing.
