Amazed & in Awe!

Today my son told me that he was applying to be a part of Student Council at McKinney High School! This is my child that at one point wouldn't talk to anyone but his family and now he is stepping up to be a part of the group that leads out at the High School! I am so proud of how far he has come.

He also has such dreams and goals for his life despite the challenge he faces of Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. God has done such amazing things in his life.

I'm hoping my nephew some day has an amazing God story too. Just this past Monday while visiting my parents my nephew, Quentin, had a rapid onset of Type 1 diabetes. He was one very sick puppy. He was care flighted from the Sherman hospital to Dallas Children's and spent most of the day on Monday in the ER receiving continuous monitoring. My nephew accepted Christ last summer at VBS at my parents church. It was an amazing thing to see my dad baptise him in Lake Texoma. My prayer is that God will use this experience as part of "His" story. I also pray that this life change will bring my sister back to the church.

God can and will work in our lives - whether we want him to or not - the question is will you let him lead you? In letting God lead we can feel a great sense of relief knowing that He has his best planned for you and that this life we know is not the end but only the beginning.

My friend at "Laundry Woes" inspired me to blog tonight. It's the first blog I have done in a VERY long time and when I last blogged I hadn't done that many. But I think this will be the first of many to come.
