Hello Blog World!

Well, its certainly been a while since I have posted anything and my blogs seem to empty. A lot has happened since my last post in I think it was October of last year, but God has certainly been changing Keith and I from the inside out. A lot has changed in the last few months, but I am so very thankful that God never changes. He loves us despite what we do or the decisions we make.

Since I last posted, we has went through many holidays, b days and so much more. Our kids, Riley and Jaden are growing up so quick. Riley is now 5, and with the attitude that comes with that age, lol, and Jaden is 3. He is coming out now with a personality of his own. I think starting school has helped out with that, and he is more expressive that what he used to be.

He loves school and being around others, but it does tire him out a good bit. Although it does, we are so thankful that he has the oppertunity to learn what he is learning, and we have seen remarkable improvement in his development since he started. He has been through so many delays since he has been born, and so much sickness, but for once I think we are seeing a good road ahead for him. Riley absolutely loves school and will get bored when its out I am sure. She loves having her freinds and has gotten involved well at school. She has become quite the little artist, and she is very smart.

Keith and I celebrated our ninth anniversary in January... and some people said we would not make it long. HAHA!!!! I just had to say that. We did get married young, but our sweet Lord put us together forever. We are truely blessed to have each other.

God is blessing in our jobs, and we could not ask anything more. At church, the van minsitry is going well, and we might end up starting two vans soon on Sunday. That would be so cool. Keith and I have both been involved in Media and its been wonderful to learn the different aspects of it all. Its so exciting! Not sure if I will continue being apart of the media team continually. I feel God moving in a different direction so you might want to be tuned in for more later developments. God always keeps things interesting doesnt he.

Recently we have had to give up our cat that we have had for 8 years. We found out that Jaden is allergic to cats, so there was no choice. The kids are adjusting well, but it was hard for them. Our Dog snowball is not adjusting well to it at all. She is lonely during the day, but is making it. She is so spoiled anyways.

Beyond all the hardships Keith and I have been through, there has been so much blessing within it. God has been certainly taking me through a journey lately that has been a lot of sacrifice and tears, but oh the joy and Freedom that he has brought out  of it all. Its been amazing.

See, instead of looking at the over all picture, God wants us to look at the things he wants us to learn through it all. Sometimes the little things are what leads us into the bigger things. Just like Sacrifice and tears go together at times, learning and building do also. We need to learn to take one step at a time to get to where we need or want to be. If it happens all at one time, we cant appreciate the process.

I need to end now, but expect more at a later sooner date. Blessings on you all! Kelly
