Where we are right now; Celebrating who you have become. A young man. Tall. Handsome. Intelligent. A warrior for God. A friend. A leader. So long Middle School! Your r...

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Dreaming about the future. A new chapter begins August of 2011. Thursday, May 19, 2011. Last Day of School: Litte Dude. Today was the end of Little Dudes first year of preschool. He has so loved preschool. When I would drop him off he'd skip down the hall, happy and excited. When I would pick him up, he would run out with a smile on his face and jump into my arms. We snapped a quick photo with his teacher. I could feel his warm tears on my neck.

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Forks along the way. This past October I visited the seminary that I hope to start in the fall. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous. Every day they have scheduled chapel time, no classes are in session for that time of the morning. The student pastor preached that morning on Hebrews 12:1-2. I thought I had it all planned how my future education path would look. In speaking with the admissions director, financial aid and the chair...

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Monday, May 14, 2012. Oh sweet boy.where has the time gone? I remember so clearly the day we found out we were pregnant. I remember so clearly the warm, April day that you came into the world. These past 5 years have gone so fast. But have been so sweet. You are so full of joy that is contagious and brings so much joy to everyone who knows and loves you. You have a heart that loves big and isn't afraid to share that love with others. You and BuhBuh continue to have a s...

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Friday, August 17, 2012. Just the other day I was following him as he enthusiastically skipped up the road to the bus stop for first time. Then I blinked and turned from the passenger seat of my van and saw him driving. First day of Sophomore year. Just the other day I was pushing a grocery cart out to the van and he sat in the seat smiling up at me and we sang silly songs together without a care of who could be watching or listening. First day of 4th grade. For God is...

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Monday, October 17, 2011. Mooommmm.tell me a bedtime story. Then the next 10 years went by so fast. Lump in throat* Yep they sure did. But I'm so glad I've been home for all 10 of them. Good night. I love you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything.

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. A Day of Praise. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Gracious and Loving God, life is busy and full. There is much to do and very little down time. But rather than wallow in my selfishness, I choose to give thanks for all the blessings that are in my life. I give thanks for the overflowing hampers. I give thanks for the little boy in the back...

Reporting from the LaundryTrenches. Thursday, September 29, 2011. I know, I know.this is late.by two weeks. This letter has been floating around in my head and I just haven't taken the time to sit down and write it. And you're a pretty cool kid on top of that! You are a loyal friend and really love spending time with those friends who are your close buddies. It warmed my mama heart to hear how you sat with one of your friends the other day on the playground after he got hurt. That we like to play you nev...
