Happy Father's Day

Trey,
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am not sure if you fully understand that! Because of you being placed in my life, it set in motion a chain of events I could have never imagined.
First, being married to you has been an incredible journey. I can not wait to see what all is planned for ther rest of our time together.
Second, our salvation. His timing in all of that and surrounding us still blows my mind!
Third our kids.....I have been so blessed to be their mom and to raise them with you.

You give up everything so that I can be home to help raise your kids, to be your wife and to help this family become what God desires it to be.
You work harder than anyone I have ever met. I amazes(and frustrates) me. But, I could never do what you have done for us all these years.
You want sooo desperately to do what God wants you to do. That is so apparent!
You love those kids with all you have. You are the best dad ever. You are so much fun. I love to listen to the heart to heart talks, when you don't know I am listening...you are such an encourager.
You are an awesome influence in their life and in mine.
I have such an extreme amount of confidence in you. I know I could leave for weeks and they would be ok and taken care of and you would get it all done without complaining... (Believe me, I am planning it!) Just kidding.... sort of...
You are the best. I love you more and more everyday!
Thanks and Have the best day! You deserve it.!!!...

On My Way To The Promise Land!

My sweet, sweet boy! Caden Edward Hardin prayed to receive Christ tonight!!!! It just doens't get any better than that. He has been at VBS all week. He asked tonight as we were saying prayers,"What does it mean to ask Jesus into your heart?" He had heard Pastor Khris talk today about it.
He has been asking some big questions for a few weeks now, but I knew this was God's moment. It was just different. I could tell it had sunk it this time. God had let him hear it!


He is a great big brother, and little brother.
He is super silly. He is an aweome athlete and total natural, just like his Dad.

And now, most importantly. A CHILD OF GOD!

i LOVE YOU BUDDY BOY!

Memories

So I swore that when i started this blog i would post everyday all the cute little things my kids said and did...hmm...not so much...

I swear. I have the prettiest journals and devotionals all collecting dust under my bed or in a closet somewhere. I always buy them and say," This time I am going to do it!" Same with this blog and same result...HUMPF!



Anyway. Little Kannan made me smile today. We have VBS at church all this week. We are on day two.

To back up a little, a few weels agp she asked and has repeatily asked," Mommy, are you going to die?"

Me all confused, but calmly answered....,"No, honey, God watches over us and I will be right here with you."

Really, in my head, the answer is....."OH No, she is totally sensing something that I can not see or feel yet. GREAT! I have cancer and God is telling me I should just start the "dead-mothering video tapes" now, with all the things I should tell her after I am gone. I need to start now! I need to have something at every mile stone and make it the greatest thing ever so she will never ever forget me!"



Yes, I know to some of you that sounds crazy. To those who know me well, it was a good laugh at me and yourself a little too. You know who you are.....



back to my story.Things have been really emotional and crazy for me with all of job stuff with Trey and stuff. I was fine until about the end of last week and it's just been a down hill thought pattern since then. I am better after today though.

We were sitting doing our bible lesson. IT was all about Baby Jesus and where he was born. We got to the end of the story and Kannan chimes in, while sitting on my lap," We don't have to worry 'cause God takes care of us..."



Faith of a child.....I needed to borrow some today! Thanks Kannan!
