Party Time

Hello...I just have to tell y'all that I am officially the mother of a high school graduate.  YAY!!!  It's SOOOOO exciting and frightening all at the same time.



 Most days I see the young man that stands before me but there are still times when I get a glimpse of that little boy and I wonder... how did time slip away so quickly...


~Kindergarten Graduation~

~Junior High Graduation~

We are so proud of our son!  Not only has he graduated high school but because he was homeschooled he was given the opportunity to finish his senior year at college, graduating with 22 college credits already behind him.  The year has been filled with lessons, struggles and exciting opportunities.  I can't wait to see what the future holds.



Looking back upon the years I remember many moments...days...and yes.. even years that I wasn't sure we would make it through.  I'm sure many of you know exactly what I'm talking about.  Maybe, your experiencing one of those seasons now?  Raising children is hard...but it is also the greatest joy in the world.   Don't give up!  Pray.  And keep putting one foot in front of the other...because watching your kids grow into kind, responsible adults who love God will be worth every difficult moment!






 Gotta go for now.  I have a party to plan! =)

 P.S. Oh, and in the business of life I have totally forgotten to update y'all about my juice fast...lets just say I started... and then it was a train wreck.  =)  Oh well, that's life sometimes. Right?  I'll get back on it and meet my goals but for now I have more important matters to attend to.

Until then...
Jessie

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing. ...

Surprise...Surprise

Wow.  It has been a  VERY  exciting morning!!!  A huge smile spread across my face as I cracked open the barn door and three new babies peeked out to greet me.  Triplets.  Soooo sweet!!  Oh.. baby goats have just stolen my heart... everything about them is pure cuteness.  My stress level has decreased tremendously now that they're all here safely, and Sally is doing great.  We now have 5 babies (4 girls and 1 boy) and two very proud mamas!  Well...three if you count me...  Sally and her kids  Oreo Emma Fudge    Unfortunately, I couldn't spend much time playing with our new additions.  We had an appointment with the  vet so we piled in the car and headed off.  The first round of baby goats needed to be dibudded (have their horns removed) and have the first round of vaccines.  Our trip was not a pleasant experience for me or my poor little goats.  Although t...

A New Chapter

It seems like yesterday... I can still remember the moment his bare skin pressed against my chest.  With limbs too exhausted to move - still they found their way to envelope this tiny gift.  "Hi baby, I'm your mom."  With the sound of my voice his face turned to meet mine.  Deep, genuine eyes peered into my soul.  Doctors rushed about as I lay on the table, life draining from my veins, but the atmosphere did not speak of the danger lurking.  For just a moment... as that little guy locked me into his gaze.. all was perfect...Heaven met us both... and in our own world two hearts melted into one.   The room was quiet.  Doctors, family and friends had finally left us alone.  This was the moment I had been waiting for.  Yet I was terrified - terrified that I would fail him.  In silence I sat, fixated on the clear plastic basket that held my heart.  My breath heaved heavy as I pic...
