Adorable

Seems like summer is coming to an end, but the heat is the last to leave! It's about 90 degrees today and still is pretty hot even at almost 7 at night.

This summer wasn't my best summer, but some good times and events showed up here and there.

A few things I discovered:

I am SO not in control, and I'm now OK with that.
I have put my complete trust in God and I'm finally able to sleep at night and rest.

I have more family and friends support than I ever knew I did

I will not let people bully me

I am more in love with Tod than ever before

I know exactly what Jesus means when He says He loves me

Even though I talk a big talk of taking a mini vacation to escape the daily drama and busy life at home, I miss and yearn for my family and children more than I enjoy being away.

I will fight for my children like a big momma black bear. I am blessed to have them, and will not go down without a BIG fight. They make my heart happy with delight and at the same time break into a million pieces. Who else can do that but your own children!?

I can NOT wait to start a new year with my family and friends, and to start new adventures.

God has truly blessed me and my life, and He loves me no matter what I was in the past.
