September Happenings...

Morgan has settled into school and doing well in her classes. Much like high school we often hear complaints of boring teachers and classes ha! She is excited to see what God has for her and although imagining the school being her home away from home for the next four years is overwhelming to her on occasion, she has made some good friends and made the adjustment well.

Morgan had a great excuse to come home one weekend as Dan's cousin Malory got married! The wedding was so beautiful and so much fun. Any excuse to get the entire family together is always a plus for me.

We visited, ate and danced until we couldn't dance anymore. Just for the record my daughter has moves! I danced with her and I think Dan mostly played body guard so no guys had any ideas of coming near her on the dance floor!! 😂

This past season has been a difficult one if I'm being honest. Taking care of my aunt and then losing her to cancer in July. Watching it pretty much divide my family afterwards. Ryanne having a very serious and dangerous surgery and being in the hospital with her and watching her struggle as well as taking care of her at home. Seeing a ministry that is near and dear to my heart have division and cause hurt in very dear friends. But then at the same time also being asked to step out in faith and my comfort zone and help with different ministries that I never pictured myself doing.  Moving my oldest out of the house and missing her. All through the past few months I would say to the Lord"It is well with my soul" and when things were really horrible I could hear God whisper "Is it still well with your soul?" I had to really stop and consider that and yes is my answer. I was sharing with a friend of mine recently that I know the storms will come and we most certainly can't always stay dry in the midst of them BUT after the storm blows over if our foundation is in Christ then His promises still stand and after it all He is still Lord.

The x-ray on the right is the 70% curve that took off in Ryanne's spine late last year. The x-ray on the left is her corrected spine. She's full of hardware so we tease her that she's VERY expensive now!

Ryanne has this little rescue dog that just adores her and ever since her surgery has not left her side. She's turned into this little therapy dog. If Ryanne lays down, Chloe lays with her. If Ryanne needs to walk, Chloe walks with her. She never leaves her side. It's really been the best medicine. Have a blessed week friends.
