Hope you had a GREAT 4th of July. We spent the evening at our friends house. We ate some great burgers and went swimming.
We also enjoyed watching Alec and JB shoot off the fireworks. We laughed really hard when Alec shot the roman candle in JB's direction...he had to dodge the roman candle...it looked like something you would see in the movies.
The kids (including the one I am married to) really enjoyed swimming. The kids jumped off the side like 900 times. B jumped in the pool all by herself tonight...she wants to do everything all by herself. I can't believe how big she is getting. Jazzy is like a little fish in the water.
I was looking back at pictures the other night of Jazz when she first came to live with us...man she has grown and changed. I see glimpses of who God created her to be everyday. I am including a picture of her last 4th of July. This is a picture of her catching her first fish with dad on July 4th...look at her now!
Our whole family has changed drastically in the matter of a year.
It's funny how God's plan for your life can be so much different than how you think it is going to turn out. Our pastor taught a couple Sundays ago about how God's ways are so much higher than our ways and how God should be in contol of our lives. For me, sometimes living for God and trying to trust him in every aspect of my life means that some days "I" feel very out of control. Trusting God even when it doesn't make sense is when it gets really tough. But, looking back on my life...I have no regrets, because I know that each day I try to live for God and to follow after Him.
