Merry Christmas!!

Today was a little sad, but mostly Merry:) It was my first Christmas away from home...I missed celebrating with everyone and I miss my beautiful sister Holly so much it hurts.  Today God reminded me that He is so much bigger than my heartaches... He knows every tear I cry, He knows my fears & insecurities, He knows when I will turn my back on Him and when I will fall back on my knees praising Him, He knows what brings me joy..

that's just it...HE KNOWS. Because HE IS> I AM. 

He has us in the palm of His hand ... He has a plan for us and has our days numbered.  I know that sounds semi-morbid... :) but that truth gives me a comfort words cant describe.  

So, although today was sad in a few ways for me... it is Christmas, a celebration filled with more Joy than sadness. 

I think my thankfulness for Rome multiplies more every single day! I just look at him and can't believe Josh & I have been blessed with this little boy.  You know Brad Paisleys song "It doesn't get better than this...but it did, oh it did.. it did" :) We took some pictures of him this morning to document his second Christmas:)

This is actually the morning of Christmas Eve..playing with sticks and leaves again:)

"howdy ma'am":)

Just being sweet and letting me take pictures:)

First glimpse of daddy coming to play..

Cant wait...

     

He loves his daddy!

 Okay, it's far past bed time for me:) so I must stop writing you...We will be up at 6:30-ish brewing a pot of coffee ... all are welcome to join us:):) Merry Christmas & good night!
