Lets do this!

Today was the start of a brand new school year for me. I think I have looked forward to it. Not quite used to the routine again, but it will come! Axton's school opened it's brand new building today. It's been being built for a year now. It looks wonderful. He was super excited this morning. When he pulled up he said, "Lets do this mom". I had to chuckle inside. Only Axton! His message was the start of my day, Lets do this! I can do all things because Christ gives me strength. I am at a point in my life that I am not sure what comes next. Tim and I haven't been in this place before. I know that God is with us and he is guiding us, but he fear of the unknown is new.

I find peace in the small things. When I watch the laughter of a little boy who I have heard others "label", I know God is great! When I watch my husband walk in the church doors 2 weeks in a row, after saying he didn't want to go to church anymore, I stand in awe. When I wake up knowing that I have a family who loves me and that no matter what I do or where I go, I have support, I feel blessed.

In all of this, I am watching the hand of God on our lives. I know that big things are yet to come and even though I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, God is in Control! I am reminded of a song I heard my aunts, uncle, and dad sing as a child, He didn't bring us this far to leave us! I know he means that! So in the words of my wonderful, full of life 4 year old, Lets do this!

Until then...
