God has His hand on your life. He knows the thoughts He has for you. Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). If God could say that to a nation who at the time was totally rebellious and corrupt, how much more to you! God has planned good things for you.
He knows the plans He has for me. I am holding that verse close to my heart this week as we found out that our sweet daughter and son-in-law are moving to the Seattle area. They will not be moving until June, but until then, it will be a time full of joy as well as tears. I will miss them so much! I am so thankful that we have had the time that we have had to cultivate our relationship and enjoy each other's company. These stages of life stink!!! I am so happy for them though. Matt will have a great job and the Seattle area is not so bad. It will make for a fun place to vacation for Ed and I. I do believe I am conflicted!!!
I am so thankful that we had our family pictures taken last month-who knows when our whole family will be together again. What a beautiful family I have!! I am so thankful! Photography by Rising Wolf Studios, Manhattan, Montana.

You have a gorgeous family, Kristii! I think you will love to go out and visit Seattle. It is a fun place to go and experience... my DH was in the Army up there for a few years. I hope that you find some peace in them leaving... it has got to be hard! :)
ReplyDeleteKristii, you have a beautiful family. I love those portraits. You are so missed on DW 08. Praying for your mom, and hope you can come play soon.
