This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be...
Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i...
Day 1 The Lord has pressed on my heart for months...encouraging me to write, so today I begin to share with you...whoever you are, stories that we may never have shared. Before I dive into the depths I want to explain a few things that may help you understand why much of this was never shared. Some of the reasons I personally held back stories were; being a first time "oversees missionary" I allowed the idea that our lives had to look a certain way. Every struggle I should be praisin Jesus right through it, no problemo. A perfect family that ALL wanted to leave everything and everyone and live in a third world country. Someone who had no needs, because of course...we gave up almost everything...we shouldn't want anything! And the list of what I thought everyone thought we should be like went on and on.... Some of the other major reasons I didn't share much, was the struggle with what was good to share, that wouldn't damage the already damaged country of Hai...
