Letters from Sissy..

My dear 8 year old sweetheart,
 
Wow. how are you almost 9. In the blink of an eye you are no longer the 4 year old i cuddle until the sun goes down, but the 8 year old i dont see until the sun goes down and you're done playing and ready for bed.
you are changing so much, growing so tall and getting smarter by the day!

you are super goofy.

and charming.

but oh so sweet, always encouraging me and helping me when i feel down.

You are more precious than diamonds.

Your jokes make me laugh until i can't berathe.

Your keen eye for creativity just amazes me.

You are always up for my photoshoots with a little bribing. ;)

You my little 2nd grader are one of the most special people i've ever met.

You are so proud of your background and your history. You talk about it often and love to tell people.

You are always interested in learning more. And your intelligence BLOWS. MY. MIND. You are constantly doing things, we were told you'd never be able to. You read books that at your age i could've never read. Its your favorite to read to us.

You are 100% BOY and what a precious one you are.
I can't wait to see the Man of God you will be one day! God bless the woman you marry. ;) She'll have to go through me!
 
I love you my sweet boy. Maybe growing big and strong but forever my sweet cuddly baby!
 
Love,
Sissy

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. Who am I to rush this season the Lord has purposed in my life for go...

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 :)
