I hope all is well. Today was such a wonderful day I had to take a minute to share a bit :)
Well first of all. Today my little brother celebrated his sixteenth birthday.
Which is kind of mind blowing and makes me feel old. I am so proud of the person he is becoming. He's kind, gentle, loving, and sensitive, and that's a refreshing thing to see in a man. Not only that but he's not focused on the ladies. Sure he thinks girls are pretty but he sees them for who they really are. I realized this when he told me that when he went to prom, he danced with every girl who didn't have someone to dance with so that no one felt life out. Which isn't player status to me. It's just him. He's so precious and sweet and I know that he's going to go so far in life. I love him dearly.
Then, my baby sister wanted to get in on the photo taking action, because she's a ham (and a turkey)
But it's okay because I love her and she's fun. She's also getting way too grown on me, before I know it she's going to be sixteen and my life will have totally gotten away from me.
My lovely church has a get together, in honor of a late 4th, and a very special baptizim. Which is where the miracle comes in. My stepdaddy got baptized today. Which is crazy to me. I never ever thought I would see a day like today, and what a glorious birthday present for Jacob. A man who I thought was beyond prayer, proclaiming his love for Jesus. What a happy day. What a happy moment. I am so thankful for him, he has changed my life, that's for sure, because he has proven me wrong. GOD has proven me wrong. People can change.
(i'm sorry for the poor quality, these were taken with my iphone, my camera stayed home today to charge)
Needless to say I was a happy and blessed girl, and I couldn't help but hum "Come to the River". Bliss bliss.
Where I stood was a good place. And then another miracle happened i'm convinced. While taking a photo of us, my Aunt Robin received a visitor, and I was blown away. A sweet blue butterfly landed on her finger, as she was taking the photo. I didn't say anything, but I felt the presence of Mark's Mama, Sweet Grandma. Still to this very moment, I feel 100% sure that was her, telling me that she saw it all. She knows how blessed I'm feeling and she's happy I forgave him.
After this blissful few minutes we headed back up the way for some yummy dinner, fellowship with my favorite people, and catching up with long time friends, which was super relaxing.
It was a pretty perfect Sunday for the stressful start. I'm glad I could share with someone. I'm sorry for the lack of wording, but I feel like the pictures were the only thing that could do my day justice.
