Family

We just got back from Family vacation and it was great! Our family has been divided for months and now we are all back together and getting along splendidly!
I wish i could say it has been easy but it has not.... God is teaching me to love people who test me and that i did not choose to have in my life directly.....
Addison is getting so big and i have never loved anyone or anything so much in my life.... I dont even understand how i will be able to love another child this much!
I am learning to let God fill me with His love in order for me to show others love.... I am alwyas trying to do it on my own and be so strong and it keeps landing me in the failure zone...
Thank the Lord for GRACE!
I realized something last night at a bible study i was at that when i despise something in someone else (and usually get judgemental about it) that it is usually not completely absent in my life ..... I have alot of working on myself to accomplish with the Lord's help. Thank the Lord for family!

Hey Charity,

Hope you all had a good vacation. That is a good looking family you have. As we welcome our fifth child into the world in about a week, I can tell you that the Lord gives you the capacity to love your other children just as much. They are all different and have their own personlities that make them special. They are all truly a blessing.

Girlfriend, now you will see that God gives you the capacity to love other kids.......sometimes in a different way, but always there is room for more loving kids! Congrats! I love ya! And to think that you now have a reminder in these beautiful pictures of you getting pregnant!!! : )
