Just like that, it’s happened again. Before I could fully grasp it, another of these babies God gave us has become an adult! 18, out of school and off to college. It’s our 4th born this time headed toward the diploma ceremony -in less than a week.<\/p>\n

Because we share a car, I’ve had the rare and wonderful opportunity of driving our last 2 to school every day this year. I watch as they walk into high school each morning. Sometimes I snap a photo. These are treasures and reminders to me of how time flies.<\/p>\n

Precious moments that have run into years, leave me marveling. I am so very thankful for the people my kids have become. \u00a0All strong-minded<\/b> men and women who know where they come from and that God loves them.<\/p>\n

Far from complete, in many ways the journey is just beginning. David and I, both 51 are still being changed <\/b>by\u00a0our children’s challenges as they mature. We feel so honored to be a part of their lives. It’s a gift.<\/b><\/p>\n

Every victory, every struggle, every heartache, and every prayer over them has been worth it… ALL of it! God has made something beautiful through family. <\/b>It’s a reflection of His relationship with us and such a JOY<\/b> to be a part of.<\/p>\n
