Bryan's Field Trip

I know I have alot of catching up to do so I'm going to try and do that in the next couple of days....

This was last week... Bryan had a field trip to Dinosaur Valley State Park. We had a great day! We learned all about them and did lots of funs stuff. We got to hang out with his best buddy Simon too. Simon now thinks I'm a really "nice and smart" mom. But Bryan said I am only sometimes... Little stink! It was fun spending the day with just Bryan!

Spring Break At Lake Whitney

These were from Spring break a few weeks back. We went camping of course.....

Special Day....

Well... this was a special day a few weeks back but still a special day. You guys just have to bare with me. I just can't seem to keep up anymore. Anyways, I think I did mention in one of my last notes that William had won Manager of the Year and this was his big picture day and where all the area managers came in they gave like a little ceremony type thing. It was nice. I took the kids out of school for the morning and we all went up there to be with him on his Special Day! I'm so proud of him! He really has worked hard and deserves it! Anyways! They took this first picture of us and then emailed it to him. I thought it was a nice picture of us. Then I took the other ones when we got home. Of course, the boys didn't want to take pictures but oh well huh? Remember as reward for winning manager of the year they are sending up to Hawaii. So we have that all set up! WE are SUPER excited. We go June 3-11Th. We will spend three nights in Maui, three night on the big Island, and one in Honolulu. We can't wait to go. We were able to take the girls on Williams frequent flyer miles, he had enough free miles that we got them free tickets. And we didn't have to pay for their room. So we decided to take them. William's parents are coming to stay with the boys. So it will be fun. The girls are really excited too. So anyways...

Let it go....

Okay... I know it's been awhile and that seems to be the new theme for me here on my blog. Sorry! :(

This is just one of those blogs that I just share my heart! Nothing cuties and fun just from the heart. A few weeks back I told you that God had been really working in my life and trying to teach me in new areas. He still is and man is He good! I'm so grateful that He's a gracious and merciful God, aren't you? Cuz man sometimes I think I just don't get it. He's really been trying to drill into this thick head of mine just how much He loves me. JUST for me! Not for who I think I ought to be or who I want to be but JUST me! Could it be that simple? I really think so! He's also been teaching me to just, "let it go." Man this has really been hard for me. For some reason, I want to just fix it all... But every time I turn around there He is again, saying "let it go, Misty. Just let it go!" As most of you know, the last few years very trying and difficult. I went through some things in my life that just rocked this little preacher girls perfect world or at least my idea of it. And to be honest I've had a very hard time knowing what to do with all of it. The pain is very real and very deep and at times just suffocating. But God has been telling me and showing me, in that ever small voice, "Just let it go precious one... let me have it, let me love you!" I wonder how many others of you know, exactly what I'm talking about? Don't you know God must feel much like we feel as parents? Why don't they just trust me enough to listen to me? I know He has my best interests at heart but for some reason I want to hold on to that hurt and that pain. Why? Why do I do that? Why can't I just let it go and let Him have it? I just know that, at this point in my life, deep in my spirit, something has to change. I have to trust Him, maybe in way that I've never trusted Him before. I think there's alot of us out there that feel this very same way. Something has got to give. There's alot of hurting people and we need God to save us, save us most of all from ourselves! So today I leave you with this... Know God loves you and You are His prize possession, not for who you think you should be, what you've done or haven't done, despite the many mistake BUT just for who you are! You do know, you've never gone too far, right? He loves you so much more than you can imagine! We just have to let Him!

Just let it go....
