Wedding Day bliss

I had such a fun time yesterday as I celebrated with my friend, Tiffany on her wedding day. I love getting all dressed up and feeling like a girl for a day. I found myself with tears streaming down when we got to the slide show part of the wedding. There was a picture of Will (the groom) that reminded me of my boy, Mattie playing and as I saw that and the rest of the photos of Will growing up before my eyes to the point where he and Tiffany were entering marriage it made me so very emotional. Time flies by in the blink of an eye. Already I see my boys and go where did the time go? They are no longer learning to walk, saying their first words or drinking from a bottle. They are becoming little men, learning manners, to read, sharing in housework chores and having relationships with friends and teachers.
I am praying about my work schedule next year so that I can have more time to enjoy the life that is going to be gone in the blink of an eye. Before long I will be watching my own sons wedding slide show and I hope I will be able to see between the tears....

Let it rain....

I kept glancing out the window in hopes of seeing the sun peak out from those dark rain clouds but to no avail. On the way to work this morning I used the opportunity to teach the boys about the benefits of rain for our community: the grass is greener, the lakes get fuller and the plants get stronger. It got me thinking positively for the morning but as the day drug on it was hard to stay so optomistic!
I feel like this is how I have been feeling about life recently, trying hard to be optomistic. I have always felt the hand of God lead us into different open doors and also seen God allow us to experience the frustration of doors closing (Sometimes slaming!). Recently I have been asking God to show me the door for the fall. Jayden is going into Kindergarten in September and it brings a whole with it a whole new world of Elementary school. I know that through my trust in God He will lead the way, as he always has.
