daughter of the King
a daughter of the King is...
broken, yet whole
sinful, yet pure
undeserving, yet worthy
unsure, yet certain
lost, yet sought after
independent, but totally reliant
guilty, yet blameless
our life in Christ
while on this earth
is filled with grace
so undeserved
God sent His son
His one and only
to live a life of Truth
Grace-filled, and Holy

quote of the week
T: "Mom, don't say that word."
Mommy: "What word don't you want me to say, honey?"
T: "That 'NO' word, mom. Don't say that, o'tay?"
Oh, I wish parenting was just as easy as doing everything your child asked you to do, and then only have to wait a little while before they realize the natural consequences of their own requests, and realize that as a parent, you do actually know better than they do, after all.
It's been awhile since I've posted so I should write a little update. We are moved into our new home, just across the highway and only 5 minutes from our old home. Our new house still feels nothing like a home, but I know that this will take time, money, furniture, paint, and simply, more time. We need just that, time, to create memories, have dinner parties, celebrate holidays and birthdays, etc. Speaking of birthdays, in fact, T turns three in a few weeks, already. My, Oh, My, time has just flown by this past year. He's incredibly verbal and highly social. That's one hard part about living in this new house; he desperately misses his neighbor friends, and honestly, mommy does, too. He was just at that age where I felt comfortable letting him run next door to see if little P was out playing or her brother was riding his bike around. We do have hope, however, because the house right next door is a four-bedroom that I am praying is bought by a young family with lots of kids :)
Big T's business is doing very well, I'm extremely proud of him and excited to see him excited.
Here's a pic of my little man, enjoying the simple pleasures of a smelly barn at the County Fair last week. He's a joy, and if I had one wish, I would have three more just like him.
Here's to a great summer, and a beautiful Autumn. School starts this week and I am definitely glad T doesn't start pre-school this Fall. I would be heart-broken!
