Thanksgiving Part 2.

Alright. after finding a new FAST blogging program I can upload these million pictures in a jiffy and blog without making it a weekend project. Anyone else feel like that? no, okay. :/

Over Thanksgiving and the month of November our family that we do Thanksgiving with every year had many a birthday. So the day after Black Friday we had a HUGE party for all of our party people.

All the cousins were THRILLED to see each other. We love our cousins and we hardly ever get to see them anymore since we moved away and then they did.

Time with cousins is something I cherish very dearly. I love all my cousins, even when we act crazy. And this little Froggy has always been my sidekick. :)

Anna Claire and the other little pre-teens who are involved in competition gymnastics were bustin the moves. I just had to sit back and giggle at how awesome they were. Wish I could move like that.

The boys tended to the football the entire time. A few times we had to go and drag them inside to eat cake, dinner, presents, etc. and me, well I enjoyed my delicious cupcake aside from taking pictures.

And Even If;

Y'all. its been a while. Holy cow. I was talking with a friend this morning about life and this waiting game of a season that the Lord has me in right now. Waiting for graduation, waiting to know what the rest of my life is going to look like, waiting on contract updates and internship approvals, waiting on interviews, Creation studies to END (forever and ever amen), leases to run out, May to arrive and my next chapter to begin. The whole while I was sitting there discussing the frustration yet Hope that I had in this season I just kept replaying the lyrics to one of my favorite songs "Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul He's IN the waiting" He's there friends. He's with you. He's fighting for you, with you. Look next to you, allow yourself to sense His presence as He runs this race right beside you, pushing you on until the very end.

We are Family.

All my brothers, sister and me.   A week after leaving my sweet family, they came to visit. Guess they missed me ;)   Their 24 hours here flew by but it was such a refresher and so nice after my first week back. And it makes the month before I see them again, not seem so crazy long.   My siblings and dad had never been to the campus, so we enjoyed touring around and even getting some fun filled hours at the Snowflex. The boys LOVED it. And I just loved them being here to do it with me for once. :)   It was the perfect family weekend.   Now back to those books..   Have a great week y'all! -Austyn

Plans for prosperity and hope..

This morning as Stephen and I listened to Bruno Mars' song "Marry you" and talked sweet talks of pure preciousness he drew my future family. As he drew me, blue as i'll ever be. and my sweet husband. and the bunk beds, treehouses and basements. the staircase leading to the sky and my huge house that really isnt needed.   he also drew two black kids. My Ethiopian babies! Oh how i dream of adopting from Ethiopia. And how precious that he drew them not even knowing i did want to adopt. Seriously, how precious are those little Ethiopian prince/ princess (s). Only two because "i dont want you to work too hard" Be still my heart.   -Austyn :)
