Sweet Uncertainty of Spring...

     "Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of saddness, it should rather be rather and expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step ,but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, He packs our life with surprises all the time."
  ~My Utmost for His Highest/ April 29th

    So amazed at all that God has placed in my life, thankful for each and every moment. Sometimes life can feel so out of my control. But I rest in Him who will will not only carry me through but will throw me into lifes next big adventure. He is not going to let me perch in my nest...

    We have now married off another child. Bethany Jo married Jared Snyder one week ago today.  Britta and Ben will celebrate their first anniversary in August and Josh and Jen their 5th in June. Jordan will be finishing his first year of college in May so only weeks away from returning home for the summer. God has given us a sweet girl in our life named Jemimah and we are so thankful. And blessing upon blessing we get to meet a sweet little grandson in July and we are so happy and excited for Josh and Jen as they enter the new chapter of being parents. Our own journey has been so sweet,  so very sweet that it hurts sometime to let go. But oh when you do...God just blesses you more. He is SO AMAZING! So on this rainy Saturday I willl reflect on all the days that have gone by so very fast but I am ready for all that He has in store. So very thankful for our family and friends and all that they bring to our lives as we experience this life together~
