My Daddy







Today is Father's Day! A day to honor the first man I ever loved.  A day to reminisce over all the daddy/daughter moments, the laughter, and ALL of the goofiness.  When I think back to my childhood, I'd say my sister and I were pretty lucky to be blessed with a dad like ours.  Thank you for loving me so much.  Happy Father's Day, dad! I celebrate and honor you today and everyday. 
I love you! -Kelli

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessin...

What is God to You?

The perspective of a child is so pure.  Their excitement for God is a breath of fresh air.  It's so amazing to be able to re-live the newness and excitement through the eyes and heart of your children.  As a believer, I know the newness of it all can fade the longer we follow Him.  At times, we find ourselves just going through the motions.  I don't know about you, but, I don't want to just go through the motions.  I want to always live with that excitement for God like a new believer does. The question, "what is God to you?" was asked at camp last week.  Cody said some were saying, "God is peace and God is love, He is hope."  I then asked, "what is God to you?"  He said, " mom, He is EVERYTHING.  We could only write down one word, so I wrote down everything.  Because He is peace and He is love and so much more.  He isn't just one or the other.  He is all of it." Wow.  He is so right-God is everything.  I...

His Plan

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord. "Plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." The Lord has a specific plan for you! He will take you through open fields and through the wilderness. All this, to prepare you for your future. I know my personal journey was long and full of roadblocks and detours. The one thing that kept me moving forward was that I kept my eyes always on The Lord. Psalm 16:8 "I keep my eyes always on The Lord. With him at my right hand I will not be shaken."  So remember, on the road of life, you will have your fair share of these roadblocks. If you keep your eyes always on The Lord, He will get you through.
