God knows the needs and desires of my heart...

We are trying to buy a house- a pretty little house that has this driveway that makes you feel like you are being wrapped up in love.  It's a two story house with a room for each girl... (Although I know they won't all sleep in their own rooms for quite a long time!)  We are struggling with purchasing the home and I am struggling with the nagging question of "is this the plan God has for my family?"  I'm scared and instead of turning to God these past few days, I've actually turned away.  I've stopped asking for his cancel and I'm wondering if it's because I'm afraid he is saying that all the roadblocks are his way of saying he has a different plan.  I wish that God gave clearer answers sometimes!! God is good all the time and all the time, God is good.  The proof is in the pudding.... 

Today is a good day....

I realize that growing up is a part of life... Although I didn't realize how fast the time passes when your kids are growing up!  I'm not ready for my girls to not need me and I already see that happening with Alivia- she is laying out her clothes at night and getting up on her own, getting dressed and ready to go off to school without me.  I'm jealous... Seriously!! I'm jealous and sad that she doesn't need me like she did even three months ago.  I am proud of the young ladies that they are becoming... True disciples of Christ... Loving God with their whole heart... And I hate to say "but" BUT!!!, I wish I could slow time down a little and keep them closer in the fold of our home for awhile longer.  It's a scary world out there and I'm in constant prayer that my Cookies will keep God in their heart and make their relationship with him a priority.  Saying all that, it is a privilege to be a part of their journey and I am amazed at how wonderfully blessed I am with happy and healthy daughters.  Today is a good day...
