We are so thankful for you Kenzi! We can't wait to see what God has planned for you! We love you and can't imagine life without you! I can't help but be teary eyed as I watch you eat your breakfast this morning and think of how far you have come and how much you have blessed our family in the last year! The saying is true...adoption rocks!!Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-60750800808020831052013-10-16T06:34:00.000-07:002013-10-16T06:34:35.012-07:00Happy Birthday Karter!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love that this little boy loves being with his siblings and his mom and dad! All the way home he talked about what Legos he was going to share with his brothers!<br />

Dear Karter,<br />
This year has been full of change and new things. Just the other day you asked me why you had to keep doing so many new things! You are so much like me...change is often hard and not my favorite thing either. Even though there have been some rough moments getting adjusted I am so proud of you Karter! In the last year you have moved to a new city, embraced a new sibling, started and finished pre-school, joined a new church, moved to a new class at the church, visited numerous churches with daddy, started Kindergarten and so much more! You are doing great, Karter!<br />
You are such a fun little boy and you always keep us laughing! You have a huge vocabulary and love to tell me about the new words you are learning. You are learning to read! You still LOVE all super heroes and legos are now coming in at a close second. You are rough and tough but still tender hearted enough to think of others and their needs. You are a great helper and most everyone comments on how polite you are!<br />
We continue to see evidence of God's hand working in your little life. You have such a passion for Him and you love to learn about the bible! You are always on the look out for someone new so that you can ask them if they know Jesus! We can't wait to see what He has planned for you sweet boy!<br />
Happy Birthday, Karter!!!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

This man is the man of my dreams! He is everything I ever wanted and more. He is everything I didn't even know I needed. <br />
<br />
This man brings me my favorite sweet tea "just because".<br />

This man sends me flowers from across the world.<br />

He is a wonderful son and brother. He calls each of his parents on a regular basis just to check on them and he does the same with his siblings.<br />

<br />
He is a hard worker. I am not sure his mind ever shuts off. And if he tells you he will do something you can count on it getting done.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is a man of integrity. A man of his word.<br />
<br />
There are so many things I could say about this man of mine. But what stands out the most is the way he loves me.<br />

<br />
I have heard it said that marriage is a picture of how Christ loves the church. I see this daily in Nathan. In the past 11 1/2 years I have learned more about Christ's love for me through the way my husband loves me than I ever knew before.</div>

<br />
Like Christ, this man of mine pursues me. He pursues me on good days and when I look cute and when I am sweet. What reminds me of Christ is the way that this man pursues me even on my worst days. He pursues me when I say hurtful things (I totally have the spiritual gift of spitefulness and if you make me mad there is no telling what I will say to get you back). He pursues me when I do<br />
everything I can think of to push him away. So much like the way my heavenly Father loves me even<br />
when I am so completely unlovable.<br />

<br />
<br />
This man of mine also sacrifices daily for me. Sometimes in big ways and sometimes in small ways, this man gives of himself every day just to make me feel loved. He has worked so hard to make my dream of being a stay at home mom come true. He could probably have all the toys and hunting leases he has ever wanted but instead he has made my dream a reality... a constant reminder of the way that my Saviour sacrificed his very life so that I might have life abundantly.<br />

You see there are numerous other families who have also adopted from Uganda. Specifically there are 6 other families in the area who have adopted from out agency. Even more crazy is the fact that we were in country and even flew home on the same flight as another family who adopted through the same agency and from the same babies home. Now our sweet kiddos get to grow up together...across the globe from where they were born. You can't tell me that God is not sovereign!<br />
<br />
This week our agency teamed up with another agency and brought in a videographer to film a documentary on all the precious kiddos who have come home. The idea is to share with the Ugandan people our great love for our children and the way that they are truly a part of our families. <br />
<br />
Last night 5 other families gathered at our house to celebrate our sweet kiddos and to welcome our Ugandan guests. Miriam, who manages the babies home and Grace, who works for our attorney in Uganda, as well as Kenneth the COO of Africa Renewal Ministries are all visiting America for a first hand look at the lives of these kiddos now that they are in their forever families.<br />
<br />
All together we had 17 adults and 15 kiddos!! Talk about a full house! And can I just add that I love that 8 of those kiddos are from Uganda!<br />
<br />
We decided to give our guests a true Texas welcome with some Tex-Mex enchiladas and all the fixings!<br />

I loved watching my crew take in the fireworks! We walked out of the stadium after the game and found the perfect spot to lay down and walk them right above us! At one point Kaden said, "this is amazing"! I also heard Karter say, "this is the BEST day of my life"! Sometimes in the craziness of life I forget to take in these special moments. I am so thankful for my sweet family and the freedom that we enjoy!<br />

<br />
Near the end of May we had the privilege of going to your pre-k graduation (yes, I know it is July and I am just now writing about it)! Watching you was one of my favorite memories of all time. You lit up the room sweet Karter. You came in smiling big for the camera and constantly looking at us to make sure we were still watching. You were so proud and so excited about your accomplishment. We were equally proud! You had the most wonderful year in pre-k. To be honest, after experiencing your terrible 2's, and well let's be really honest, your 3's, and even some of your 4's, I was expecting to get a note sent home at least once a week.:) I totally under estimated you Karter! You have a hunger to learn and you love the affirmation that comes when you work hard and do your best. Your sweet face was beaming at your graduation and for good reason...you worked hard and you are so ready for kindergarten!!<br />

After your graduation daddy took you to get ice cream! You told him that that you wanted to be an astronaut when you grow up. He asked you about being a missionary (which is what you usually say). Your response to him was funny and truly challenging. You said, "daddy don't you know I am already a missionary, we ALL are"! You are wise beyond your years Karty boy and you have a heart for Jesus like no other 5 year old I have ever met. We know and believe that God has great plans for you! You are such a joy to us and we are so thankful that God chose to place you in our family!</div>

I have one turning for and registering for pre-k, while another is graduating from pre-k and registering for Kindergarten, and yet another one turning 9 and finishing the 2nd grade! There have been lots of happy tears and moments of reflection for this mommy in the last 2 weeks!<br />
<br />
On Saturday we got to celebrate Kaden turning 9. Wow, that sounds so old. And as my precious husband reminded me...9 is halfway to 18. Time certainly does pass quickly!<br />
<br />
Where did this little baby go?<br />

So many precious memories with my sweet boy!<br />
<br />
He started his celebration with breakfast with dad and a trip to Academy to spend his birthday money. After that we had presents, cupcakes, and most importantly...waterslide fun!<br />

Dear Kaden,<br />
I can't believe you are 9. I still remember the day you were born with such detail! You made me a mommy...the one thing I wanted to be my entire life! I am so thankful for you. You are so kind and tender hearted. I often find you thinking of others. Whether it is making a card for someone of offering to the dishes for me because you know I have a blister that hurts, you are always looking for a way to be kind.<br />
<br />
You are also very athletic! You have loved balls for as long as I can remember and now 9 years later you still do. You are very talented at soccer but you also love to throw the football with dad and you are looking forward to trying basketball this winter. I thought it was funny when we went to the park recently and saw a little girl from your school. When she saw you she leaned over to her mom and said..."he goes to my school, he is SOO athletic"! :)<br />
You are still our shy guy but once you get warmed up you are lots of fun and a great friend! I am so proud of the way you have jumped in this year! After spending the first part of the year homeschooling and then 6 weeks in Africa you were nervous to start at a new school but your bravery won out and you already made some friends by the end of the week.<br />
You are continuing to grow in your walk with Christ. Just recently you told me about how you talked to your best friend at school about the gospel. <br />
I am so proud of you sweet boy! I am thankful to be your mom and I know God has great plans for you!<br />
Happy Birthday!<br />
Love,<br />

Dear Kolson,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Happy Birthday my sweet boy! I can't believe you are already 4. I tired to convince you several times this week that we could just skip your birthday and you could just stay 3 forever...unfortunately you wouldn't go for it and here we are celebrating your 4th birthday! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I remember being so scared when you were born that I wouldn't have enough love to go around for 3 little boys...you totally proved me wrong! You are such a loving little boy and you are so easy to love! You bring such a sweetness to our family! I love the way you greet your daddy each time you see him by saying "hey buuuud" or the way you ask your brothers if they have had a good day at school. I love the way you start each prayer with "God is good, God is great" and then you have to stop and think about what to pray next if it isn't meal time! :) You are the most determined little guy I know. You have learned how to do everything early just so you could keep up with your brothers, who you adore! You also don't like taking no for an answer. While I am sure that is going to be a great quality later in life, it does make for some interesting moments as your mommy! I love that you are still a mommy's boy and you still love to be held and snuggled and loved on. Being your mommy is such a joy sweet boy! Like I always tell you...You are my favorite Kolson in the whole world...there is no other Kolson like you and given the choice, I would pick you every time! I love you sweet boy and I cannot wait to see all that God has planned for you!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Happy Birthday!</div>

Love,</div>

It was fun, practical, and most of all inspiring. I still keep it by my bed for a refresher now and then! I am blessed to have won the heart of the man of my dreams and while I know that I have also won his heart I always want to make sure I am doing all that I can to grow our marriage.<br />
<br />
One of the topics the author talks about is Creating Commonalities. She says that your hubby wants to "laugh with you, play with you, and enjoy your company." While us girls think it is important for our hubbys to do things with us that we enjoy, studies show it is even higher on the male wish list.<br />
<br />
Nathan is so good to me...he has watched at least 1,000 chic flicks (he totally loves them), gone to tons of "foody" restaurants with me, and spent countless hours out shopping by my side.<br />
<br />
A few weeks it go it was my turn to join him in something that he loves! <br />
<br />
After 11 years of marriage I finally donned some camo and hit the hunting lease with my man! While I will admit that waking up at 5 am to sit in a tent and look for Turkeys in the freezing cold is not my typical idea of fun...it was a great chance to sit by man and watch him take in something he loves so much! We had some of the best conversations on the way to and from the lease and I actually have to admit that I enjoyed the evening hunts...this girl is NOT a morning person! We laughed and joked and even if it is not the newest hobby to top my list I loved knowing that I was getting to be a part of what he loves. <br />

Next time I want my own camo!! Although wearing Nathan's camo kept me pretty warm!<br />
<br />
Kaden was able to come with us and had the best time hunting with some seasoned hunters from Malakoff.<br />

It was a great weekend full of fun memories! I am so thankful for my mom who was willing to keep my other kiddos! I can honestly say...I am looking forward to deer season...this girl may just get her a buck! :)Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-31580080103458916212013-05-02T06:08:00.001-07:002013-05-02T06:10:28.383-07:00Fun in the sun!Texas weather...yesterday it was sunny and 85 degrees, this morning we woke up to temperatures in the 40's!! With weather like this you have to take advantage of warm and beautiful days when you can...before everyday becomes an oven!<br />
<br />
So yesterday we did just that! We took our first trip to our neighborhood spray park! All of the kiddos loved it. And really is there anything more precious than Kenzi in her tutu swimming suit? :)<br />
<br />
The day ended with grilled steaks and a family walk to the park. I am pretty sure today was my favorite day since we have moved here! I am so thankful for my sweet family and love our everyday moments together! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzaaOdQyOfzV0A0TkMseKFji2GvMjfyh5iJMKtU-1EzGPR-PvJebTDR1dpptYyhrqCCuJQbvJaC2rAwOrqdjkGglzP-bE-A1AhbnD_blCDftxOWeveRaixFcv-m7FrbQYXGRo-b7Z7Jn0/s640/blogger-image-287909899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzaaOdQyOfzV0A0TkMseKFji2GvMjfyh5iJMKtU-1EzGPR-PvJebTDR1dpptYyhrqCCuJQbvJaC2rAwOrqdjkGglzP-bE-A1AhbnD_blCDftxOWeveRaixFcv-m7FrbQYXGRo-b7Z7Jn0/s640/blogger-image-287909899.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC01N8MRazg-_qvs7fDOesJJSsIvnfm69r6l419LLNxCk7Tl3JhpooXG2Et9nhT_ZkBkjYY58BIHS5xFkMvNGJfUz_mKX-3e5UH6kgmTbmi4Ff6wlgrdq6yGs111NzsUSZ3xzKPbPjEu0/s640/blogger-image-861262393.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC01N8MRazg-_qvs7fDOesJJSsIvnfm69r6l419LLNxCk7Tl3JhpooXG2Et9nhT_ZkBkjYY58BIHS5xFkMvNGJfUz_mKX-3e5UH6kgmTbmi4Ff6wlgrdq6yGs111NzsUSZ3xzKPbPjEu0/s640/blogger-image-861262393.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2TJs8qSk2QFTBOOPdwB1g2S9x18cJ6M3J-hfDfpahOUBxOg4TC5Um_cGy9yKqAdfvxL2zmayejLvwgvWl9nT6eFp181bVDY1EXczovV7t0phxP8bcmrXc1OWP-KThc3emfCxHss5HFQ/s640/blogger-image-382050729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2TJs8qSk2QFTBOOPdwB1g2S9x18cJ6M3J-hfDfpahOUBxOg4TC5Um_cGy9yKqAdfvxL2zmayejLvwgvWl9nT6eFp181bVDY1EXczovV7t0phxP8bcmrXc1OWP-KThc3emfCxHss5HFQ/s640/blogger-image-382050729.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQLfT3Gu4udw0kz3Ulin-SrF9syM5l-uietM5KM-hRzSE1uscphxyIf9Y3P_tZt6EzEVCGqpJux3OHxHWMoY2W5MuOUH3RDsCbAi4XUJ2PIRDhBXJrBv7doD97gZWSz4yGLI0G5g1dUI/s640/blogger-image--143907099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQLfT3Gu4udw0kz3Ulin-SrF9syM5l-uietM5KM-hRzSE1uscphxyIf9Y3P_tZt6EzEVCGqpJux3OHxHWMoY2W5MuOUH3RDsCbAi4XUJ2PIRDhBXJrBv7doD97gZWSz4yGLI0G5g1dUI/s640/blogger-image--143907099.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXeAD6Xy7DqyQj-3_neJ5nT4LjGuGNpevtHSgnMREiC5P231ZuWkwsgw0NAmU2PoDljMGypfqX4WSbPjT4RNrp_u67rUdlxDGKRLkn6qk1AqJRJ8-oWFRpgRjsBKRUxNpE-ssvjdl1Jo/s640/blogger-image-2127720351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXeAD6Xy7DqyQj-3_neJ5nT4LjGuGNpevtHSgnMREiC5P231ZuWkwsgw0NAmU2PoDljMGypfqX4WSbPjT4RNrp_u67rUdlxDGKRLkn6qk1AqJRJ8-oWFRpgRjsBKRUxNpE-ssvjdl1Jo/s640/blogger-image-2127720351.jpg" /></a></div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-63686720984421947082013-05-01T11:42:00.000-07:002013-05-01T11:42:01.228-07:00Spring has sprung!It is finally warming up this Spring and we are loving some time in the sun!!<br />

Honestly I have a few "type A" traits and the fact that I have missed capturing so many moments and keeping up with this blog had convinced me to give up on it completely. But I miss having a space to record our life, a place to go back and see how God has grown us over time, a place to spill my heart, and to capture the every day moments that I know I don't want to forget. So I am jumping back in...<br />
<br />
Over Spring Break the kiddos and I headed to San Antonio for a fun filled week... <br />

First stop, Wreck it Ralph in 3D! WE got there an hour early so we spent time taking silly pictures!<br />

<br />
These two big guys are loving 2nd grade and Pre-school...<br />
<br />
And these little sweeties are becoming fast friends!<br />
<br />
We are finding more time for art projects and time with new friends at the park.<br />
I believe God had so much to teach us on this new adventure!

Not only that, I have also been "the preacher's wife" for more that 8 years. For so long I have had this role...this place where I automatically belonged. When you are the preacher's wife everyone knows you and you know everyone. Everyone knows your kiddos and many of them spoil those kiddos rotten! :) There is an automatic place of ministry for you right next to your husband.<br />
<br />
I was still "the new girl" when we moved to Malakoff over 5 years ago but I was also the preacher's wife which somehow made it not so scary.<br />
<br />
But this time...I am just the new girl. I have no role to hide behind and no automatic place where I fit.<br />
<br />
Suddenly visiting church feels like I am 13 again and it is my first day at a new jr. high.<br />
<br />
What should I wear?<br />
<br />
Will they like me?<br />
<br />
What do I say?<br />
<br />
The difference between my 13 year old self and my 31 year old self...that 13 year old didn't have a choice. I had to go to school. I had to face being the new girl. At 31 I have a choice. I don't have to go.<br />
<br />
This morning I almost made the choice not to go.<br />
<br />
<br />
The church we have been visiting has a weekly mom's group that meets for bible study. I had been so excited about going and meeting some other moms. I was excited right up until the moment it was time to get ready to go and those 13 year old fears crept back in. Because well, let's just be honest, mom's can sometimes be the most judgemental people on the planet...which is so sad because we are all on the same team...trying desperately to raise kiddos who love the Lord without some how destroying them in the process (but that is a whole other post).<br />
<br />
I remembered my post from yesterday. I remembered God's reminder that He redeemed me for more than just sitting on the sidelines. And against everything in my flesh I got up, faced my fears, and went to moms group.<br />
<br />
Would you believe that I got there and the topic of discussion for the day was adoption? He really is the God who sees. He is so faithful to remind me that He is here and walking this new road with me. Not to mention the fact that the other moms were precious and not the least bit judgemental!<br />
<br />
I know that my struggles as the new girl are so minor in the big scheme of things but struggle is struggle and a victory is a victory no matter how big or small. So I am celebrating my victory over my 13 year old fears. And rejoicing that I won't be "the new girl" forever.

<br />
We came home to the busiest time of year. Our house became a revolving door to precious friends and family. There was traveling to do...people to share our newest miracle with. The celebration of our Savior's birth. The ringing in of a New Year. It was a month and a half full of fun, celebrating, and complete craziness...the good kind.<br />
<br />
But that is over now and I am here with all this newness...this differentness.<br />
<br />
New house, new job, new city, new baby, new church, new schools and the list goes on.<br />
<br />
Newness is good.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful for newness.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for mercies that are new every morning and the promise that He is continually making me new. I am thankful that He gives me a new start each day, each week, each month.<br />
<br />
But if I am honest there are parts of me that miss familiar. And sometimes that missing takes over and I just want to crawl in the bed and pull the covers over my head. Because finding a new normal is hard and some days I don't even want a new normal. Because becoming a new creature takes work and involves growing pains. <br />
<br />
It would be easy to stay in this place. Bound in my struggles and my fear of the new. It would be easy to get wrapped up in my own little life and to just survive each day as it comes. I could live this new life always comparing it to my old familiar life, always looking for ways that this new life doesn't measure up. In all honesty I have lived several days like this...it really isn't any fun.<br />
<br />
But God...<br />
<br />
those are precious words!!<br />
<br />
But God in his sovereignty used Big Daddy Weave's song "I Am Redeemed" to remind me that I am in fact redeemed. I AM a new creation and I have been set free. It is time to shake off these heavy chains. I am not who I used to be because thankfully He is not finished with me yet.<br />
<br />
I may not be able to see exactly what my purpose is here just yet, and I may not have this whole 4 kids thing down to an exact science yet but He has a plan and I want to be a part of it not just from the sidelines.<br />
<br />
So today, I am pulling back the covers (even though my flesh would really just rather stay in that warm, comfortable place). I choose to live in His freedom and to find the wonders in this different newness that is my new life.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-72573286679200351482012-10-04T09:06:00.000-07:002012-10-04T09:06:54.892-07:00Because I don't want to forget...That this summer was filled with some of the most precious moments...<br />
<br />
Although my phone was stolen and I lost almost all of the pictures (hear: download your pictures from you phone so this doesn't happen to you) there are a few that made it and I want to remember those sweet moments!<br />
<br />
<br />
We found a new family hobby...fishing!!<br />

However, Karty is known for saying some of the craziest things... Things we want to always remember!<br />
<br />
Last week while traveling in the car, (sort of a major theme in our lives lately) Kaden and Kolson where being extra whiney and grouchy. Since Karter didn't seem to be joining in with the other two Nathan praised him and told him that he was proud of Karter for being good.<br />
<br />
Karter replied by saying, "that's my job...to be good"!<br />
<br />
We all laughed and moved on. An hour later when Karter joined in the grouch fest, Nathan reminded him of his job.<br />
<br />
Karter replied, "well, I'm taking the day off"!!<br />
<br />
Ha ha! What a personality!!<br />
<br />
The next week he told me that he had gotten fired from sharing!<br />
<br />
Oh Karty boy... We love you so!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjshUiCqkhyoSvgjfYg3AcbDgPTqHRxQmPQT_dmn-UTTWX7PheNDzw_sayPFUWXhtOCB54sAkdcdcjbvAcwGx6XWAuNQZ2SCfCVBIYAXXZcXAeWo91EKMlgfC5Yq03tPrmSDeL3RQGxc70/s640/blogger-image--128524598.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjshUiCqkhyoSvgjfYg3AcbDgPTqHRxQmPQT_dmn-UTTWX7PheNDzw_sayPFUWXhtOCB54sAkdcdcjbvAcwGx6XWAuNQZ2SCfCVBIYAXXZcXAeWo91EKMlgfC5Yq03tPrmSDeL3RQGxc70/s640/blogger-image--128524598.jpg" /></a></div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-17251347653797603862012-08-21T21:45:00.000-07:002012-08-21T21:51:18.579-07:00The UGLY word...<h2 align="center">
</h2>
<h2 align="center">
C H A N G E</h2>
<h2 align="center">
</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are currently embarking on the biggest change our family has ever known. And if you have known us long you know that big change is a theme in our lives!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We moved from Tennessee to Texas just 3 weeks before we had our first baby...new house, new job, new baby...big change!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We moved to Martin's Mill just weeks before the loss of our second baby boy...new house, first time pastoring, loosing a precious baby...big change!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We moved to Malakoff 2 months before we had Karter...in the middle of that move I landed in the hospital! Once again we had a new house, new church, new baby, and then 2 months later I also had a new job...big change!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have you noticed a theme? It seems like every change happens around the same time that I am preggo! To be honest I was totally surprised that God didn't move us while I was pregnant with Kolson! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so thankful that the Lord has been so faithful to bring us through each transition. They have not always been easy, but because of HIS faithfulness we know that we can trust Him in this crazy change once again!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Near the end of July we finally recieved news that a change we have been anticipating will be happening soon! We were thrilled and overjoyed to see the face of our sweet Kenzi and know that soon our family of 5 will become a family of 6!<br />
<br />
The unanticipated change came at the beginning of this month when Nathan was elected to become the new Director of Evangelism for the Southern Baptist of Texas! He will now have a part in reaching the whole state for Christ! I am so proud of him and the way the LORD is using him and his passion for people! We are so honored and humbled by this new position. We are excited and hopeful, but we are also facing that word...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CHANGE</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We will be changing where we live. Nathan will be working in Grapevine so a move to the metroplex is in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a way that could only be explained as a miracle from God our house here has sold...without it ever going on the market! But, that leaves us homeless! At the moment we are not sure exactly sure where we will live! The plan for now is to put all of our stuff into storage and the boys and I will stay with my parents until the Lord shows us where to live! I know...it sounds crazy...sometimes following the Lord does seem a little crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Abraham and Sarah left everything to follow God's call not knowing where that would lead.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Noah built a boat even though it had never rained before.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Elijah moved out to the brook and received his food from ravens each day.<br />
Joseph took a young pregnant Mary as his wife based on an angels visit in a dream.<br />
And the list goes on...<br />
<br />
Since we are not sure where we will be living we are also changing the way we do school. For now we will be homeschooling Kaden! Another huge change! But this change gives us the freedom to take Kaden with us when we travel to Uganda to get our precious Kenzi...talk about hands on learning!<br />
<br />
We will be changing our roles. For more than 7 years now Nathan has been the pastor and I have been the pastor's wife. In the beginning I was not sure about the whole pastor's wife thing...I mean, I don't teach Sunday School, I can't play the piano, I didn't think I had the right clothes or enough scripture memorized...I was SCARED! But now, 7 years in, I am so sad to let this role go. I have loved teaming up with my husband to minister! While I am sure we will still have opportunities to minister together, I will miss serving on staff at a church with him!<br />
<br />
In the middle of all of this change we are also changing our family! We are preparing and making room for our sweet Kenzi to join our family soon! We are praying to have her home before the end of the year!<br />
<br />
In all honesty, there are moments when I am scared to death. I love our life here. I love our church and the precious people the Lord has allowed us to serve with here. I love our home, so full of life and memories. I love the sweet place in our marriage that we have found here. I have no idea what life will look like with all of these changes...at this point I am not even sure where we will be living this new life...ha! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">But God</span></strong>...thank goodness for those words! But God, He holds my every moment...he knows exactly where we are going to be living and exactly how He wants to use us in these new roles. He knows the plans He has and His word has promised that they are not plans to harm us...they may not be easy but I have full confidence that they are for our good. My only job is to trust Him, to wait Him, and to follow when and where He leads.<br />
<br />
So maybe it's not such an ugly word after all...</div>

<br />
It had been a crazy few weeks! I was really starting to sense that we would hear something soon. And so, being the resourceful girl that I am, I hacked into your Daddy's email just to see if there was any news! :) Low and behold...there was an e-mail letting us know that all of your paperwork was in and that it would only be a matter of weeks until we would see our first picture of you. I totally ruined Daddy's plan to surprise me!<br />
I am thankful that the next 2 weeks were pretty busy because during the quiet moments it was hard to do anything but think of you! I truly felt like I did at the end of my pregnancies with your brothers, knowing that it could be any day! I was so full of hope and excitment as I waited for the big day!<br />
I had that same feeling on Monday the 23rd of July...I just knew the news was coming soon! But...this is Africa we are talking about. That afternoon your Daddy informed me that everything was ready BUT the Internet was down in Africa and had been the entire weekend! I will admit I was a little crushed but I also had to laugh...God sure does like to teach us lessons in patience when that is the one lesson we don't want to learn!<br />
Tuesday rolled around and Mrs. Flo came to visit me that morning. You won't remember her but she came to visit you several times while they were in Africa this summer. At that point we didn't know who you were but God did and He made sure you were loved...and by someone that we know...God is so good sweet girl, and so very faithful! That morning as we talked Mrs. Flo even mentioned you!<br />
<br />
Around 2:30 on Tuesday the 24th of July, I went out back with Kolson to swing. Not even 5 minutes later you Daddy came out to tell me that this was "THE CALL". Not wanting to miss a moment of it, your Daddy and I locked ourselves in the bathroom to hear all about you! It was a moment I will never forget.<br />
<br />
After the call we all jumped in the car...no shoes and all and headed to the church to see your pictures! We gathered around the computer to see our first glimpses of your sweet face. As God would have it we got the church and Mrs. Stacey was there...she takes the most beautiful pictures. She was able to snap a few pictures of us seeing you for the first time!<br />

<br />
What a beautiful baby girl! You are certainly worth the wait sweet girl! We feel so blessed that God would allow us to be your family! We can't wait to hold you and love on you! I hope you liked to be carried...I am not sure your feet will touch the ground for the first year...we have waited so long to hold you!<br />
<br />
We will continue to pray for you sweet baby girl as we wait for our court date! We love you Kenzi Reigh! We are waiting for you!<br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This blog has been sitting for over a month...ready to be published and for some reason I just couldn't hit publish. But today after hearing my husband preach about Jonah and following God's call...it all I can think about!</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>"Too often we let "how" get in the way of "what" God wants us to do. We can't figure out how to do what God has called us to do, so we don't do it all."- Mark Batterson The Circle Maker</em></div>
<br />
I wonder how often this has been true in my life?<br />
<br />
For the past 2 years I have been captivated by a song. I guess you could say it has become my mantra!<br />
<br />
Britt Nicole's song, Walk on the Water has been my constant companion on this adoption journey as well as so many other moments these past 2 + years!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>You look around and staring back at you</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Another wave of doubt</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Will it pull you under</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>You wonder</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>What if I never make it</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>What if no one's there</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Will you hear my prayer</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>When you take that first step into the unknown you that He wont let you go</em></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>So what are you waiting for</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>What do have to lose</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Your insecurities will try to alter you</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>But you know you're made more</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>So be afraid to move</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Your faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water</em></div>
<br />
I cannot tell you how many times I blasted this song on my iPod as I prepared for the 13.1 miles that seemed impossible! And trust me...I am using it again this year as we prepare to run for our sweet baby girl!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJOo0adc9EGlHxzDpPWwKbC5xObPy3yDjGsh0NBX-929ZOXEu4pFlOgg9YFwEs3Az5wfnoI77eYMW9Gcn7UfmxwLq0QCst5cWj7D_SS7Xj2rwtqMhYVHjHfyjJWga6SGglpZKUbmgIabg/s1600/us.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJOo0adc9EGlHxzDpPWwKbC5xObPy3yDjGsh0NBX-929ZOXEu4pFlOgg9YFwEs3Az5wfnoI77eYMW9Gcn7UfmxwLq0QCst5cWj7D_SS7Xj2rwtqMhYVHjHfyjJWga6SGglpZKUbmgIabg/s320/us.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
This song also makes me think about two of my friends, Jennifer and Kim, who stepped out against popular opinion to follow God's call on their lives to homeschool. They had so many questions and unknowns but they stepped out and their kiddos are thriving! <br />
<br />
I just can't hear this song and not think about 9 girls who stepped out and went to Uganda last year.<br />
One of them, Kasey, was so moved and changed on that trip that she is returning this summer WITHOUT a group of friends. Another, Brandi, left her job where she was named "Teacher of the Year" to follow God's call to another school and grade level that she has never taught before. Sweet Kristi, had just lost a baby just weeks before our trip and was wondering if God would ever bless them with more...this year she expecting baby Dax!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Another one of those 9 was this girl, my friend Flo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qbCJWNDg0MSB_RJn0klo9nvIKp8txFHkDSokIWzR8INvM-Me9MpI-X6944GLcsnLS8lF7pp0tAmYhXrP6AZSg8S-tIuJBM_9Ocq7USSyFLemz6VOJ12lVumYHppMY1IJhSfI3t18eRY/s1600/Day0+065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qbCJWNDg0MSB_RJn0klo9nvIKp8txFHkDSokIWzR8INvM-Me9MpI-X6944GLcsnLS8lF7pp0tAmYhXrP6AZSg8S-tIuJBM_9Ocq7USSyFLemz6VOJ12lVumYHppMY1IJhSfI3t18eRY/s320/Day0+065.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
She was so unsure in the beginning, so many doubts and fears holding her back. But she took that step of faith and now, this year, her and her family just returned from living in Uganda for 2 months!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>So get out and let your fear fall to the ground</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>No time waste, don't wait</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>And don't you turn around</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>And miss out on everything you were made for</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>I know you're not sure</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>So you play it safe</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Try to run away</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>But if you take that first step</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Into the unknown</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>You that He won't let you go</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So what are you waiting for??<br />
<br />
Let's stop letting the "How" stop us from doing the "What" that He has called us to do!<br />

I cannot let this night pass by with out writing about it!<br />
You are 41/2 years old and you are still as firey and wild as you were from day one. It is no secret,sweet boy, that you are what we sometimes call, challenging. You are so full of passion, stubbornness, and just pure drive that sometimes you don't even know what to do with yourself. <br />
But, under all of that, you are one of the sweetest little boys I have ever met. <br />
<br />
You are so silly...<br />

Your Daddy and I have believed from day 1 of your life that God has great plans for you. We believe that God is going to take all of that passion and drive and use it to bring many people to know Him.</div>
Tonight we got just a little glimpse of the plans God has to use you! Tonight we went to a local restaurant for dinner. We sat and talked and ate chips and salsa like we always do. But God spoke to your little heart and you had something on your mind. <br />
<br />
And Karty boy, when something is on your mind there is no ignoring it! You don't forget easily and when that stubbornness kicks in there is no stopping you!<br />
<br />
But this night instead of your mind being set on getting a toy from the vending machine, your little heart and mind where consumed with asking our waitress if she knew God.<br />
<br />
You couldn't wait to ask her. You kept asking if you could get up and go to her. Finally she came by our table and without the least bit of fear you asked..."Do you know God"? This opened up the door for you to talk more with her and you found out that yes, she knew God and she knew Jesus! What a precious moment that God allowed us to be a part of! <br />
<br />
We pray that you will continue to grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God. We pray that He will give you an undivided heart that you may seek Him and Him alone! God has great plans for you Karter Daniel!<br />

</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">This verse has been speaking to me these past few weeks. The Lord led me to this verse during a bible study that was talking about not being conceded or prideful.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">It was through this verse that I came face to face with this truth...</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">All my worrying is just another form of PRIDE!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I worry about my husband and my children. I worry about God's timing. I worry about when He will bring Kenzi home and how all the details will come together. I worry about the future. I worry about what others think. The list could go on and on.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size: large;">But who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?</span></em></div><div align="center"><em>Matthew 6:27</em></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Not only does God remind me that my worrying will do nothing for me but the verse in Psalm 131 made it clear to me that all of my worrying was really pride. You see when I worry and fret over things I am not trusting the Lord. I am not trusting that He...the one who created the earth, numbered the stars, and spread out the skies can take care of the details of my life.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Certainly these details...the things I get caught up in worrying about are too wonderful for me. For some reason our human nature finds it so much easier to ponder all the what if''s and the details instead of really focusing in on praying for the issues and praising God for the way He is going to take care of each one of them in His time.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">So my new motto when I feel those worries creeping up is to say out loud to myself...</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">those thoughts are too wonderful for you, Jenna! </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I want to choose to give Him all my what ifs, and how tos, and whys. I want to stop in the middle of those overwhelming thoughts and consider HIS wonders. I have unmasked worry and see that it is only selfish pride in disguise. So this day I am choosing to just take the next step He puts before me and leaving all of those "too wonderful" details up to Him.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Surely the God who commands the mornings, and perscribed the limits for the sea can take care of every detail of my life and yours.</div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024627938690306193.post-23872563855596248422012-05-06T21:37:00.002-07:002012-05-06T21:37:50.910-07:00Dear Kenzi,<br />
<br />
So many nights I lay awake thinking of you. Much like I thought about your brothers before each of them were born. I dreamed of what they would look like and what their personalities would be like. I dreamed of first smiles and hugs, first books and games, and all the fun we would have together.<br />
Tonight just happens to be one of those nights when I am dreaming about you. It is early in the morning where you are. I wonder if you will be an early riser like Karter or will you love your sleep like Koslon. Will you wake all smiles and raring to go like your daddy or will you need some time to easy into your day like mommy and Kaden?<br />
I want you to know, sweet girl, that you are loved and you are covered in prayers. This wait to hold you, to see you, to know just exactly who you are has been long but I know that our God is a God completes what He starts. So we will keep trusting. We will keep praying and we will keep dreaming of the days when we will hold you...and until that day, I will be praying that He sends someone to hold you and hug you and tell you each day that you are loved and you are special and that you were made for great things. I pray that even now as mornings dawns that you are not alone.<br />
I know that you becoming part of our family will be one of the greatest blessings in our lives. But, I also know that you will be becoming a part of our family because of great loss. I pray that even in these moments our God is binding up your wounds and filling the hurts in your little heart with His love. <br />
The saying is completely true...You may not have grown in my body, but you have grown in my heart.<br />
Each day in this journey my love for you has grown, much the way my love for your daddy and your brothers has continued to grow each day.<br />
<br />
Someday I want to tell you the great "God Stops" along the journey to get to you.<br />
<br />
Things like finding an old bulletin from 2006 that I had doodled your name on. Yes, I said 2006! Sweet girl, He wove you into my heart long before we even thought about adoption!<br />
<br />
Or the weeks this last fall when I was struggling so hard to trust that He would actually bring you home...in the midst of a Beth Moore Bible study on James He led me to the verses at the end of Job where we had chosen you name over a year earlier.<br />
<br />
This last week when I was asking Him how to pray for you He used our ladies bible study to lead me to the story of the persistent widow who continued to bring her case before the judge again and again and again.<br />
<br />
In this same week during Bible study we studied Psalm 68 where it says "He sets the lonely in families". <br />
<br />
None of these were a part of Bible studies on adoption or really even having anything to do with adoption. But there in the middle of them God met me and reminded me that He is faithful and that He would be faithful to complete this work.<br />
<br />
These are just a few of the "God Stops" along the journey. Anyone else might say coincidence...but I say no! These are precious reminders from my God that He has got this. He has got you sweet girl and when the time is just right He will bring us all together.<br />
<br />
You are loved Kenzi girl! We can't wait to see your little face!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Those were the words at the bottom of our wedding invitations over 10 years ago! We knew going in that our marriage would only be as strong as our relationship with Jesus. And it is by His grace that we celebrated 10 years in March. It has been a journey...5 cities, 5 ministries, 6 pregnancies, 3 precious little boys, 3 glory babies, an adoption in process, and more adventures than I can count!</div>

I can honestly say 10 years later I am more in love with my man each day. I still have moments when I just look over at him and think, "wow, he really married me...this is really our life"!! Don't get me wrong there have been hard days but true to His word God has worked even the hard days, the moments of grieving the losses of babies and parents and grandparents, he has worked them into good. He has used those moments to draw us to Him and to one another. I am so thankful to share this life with Nathan. I can't wait to see where the next 10 years takes us and I can't wait to fall more and more in love with my man.</div>

For our 10 year anniversary we decided to indulge...and trust me after the last two years of having our eyes opened to the injustices and needs of those around the world and even in our own city we were totally aware of the blessing of being able to indulge. We set off on a 5 day cruise! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And would you believe that I didn't take a single picture!:( I must admit it was nice not to always have a camera strapped to me but I do wish I had a least one picture! It was a great time to just be together and to rest. It has been a whirlwind these last 2 years as God has been opening our eyes and hearts and just being able to sleep and read and enjoy one another and the beauty of His creation was wonderful!</div>

While we were away the boys had the best week at my parents house!</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<em>"The Best Thing about having you for parents is that our children get to have you for grandparents"!</em></div>
<br />
<br />
I love this quote! Our precious children are beyond blessed to have a Papaw, Nonnie, Big, Mamme, Papa, and even a Grammy, who I know is praying for them from heaven. Each of our parents find such joy in lavishing our children with love. It is one of my favorite parts of life...watching our parents love our children.<br />
<br />
When we left for the cruise I felt slightly guilty that the boys may not get to do much fun stuff on their spring break since we were going on a cruise...boy was I wrong! My parents pulled out all the stops and I am sure it is a week they will be talking about for the next year!<br />

Last year's race was one of the best experiences I have ever had! To be running with hundreds of other people who love orphans and want to see them in families was amazing. We were so blessed to have so many friends come along side us! We had friends who ran, walked, and everything in between!<br />

Would you consider joining us this year? The race will be on October 27th in New Braunfels Texas. You can walk, jog, or run the half marathon or you can get super crazy like my hubby and some of his buddies and run the full marathon!<br />

We would love to have you join us! Since we are starting early this year there is plenty of time to train and get ready! I promise you there is nothing like training and then actually finishing the race! It was totally worth all the early mornings last year! : )Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02544329774338958397noreply@blogger.com0
