What Joy Family Brings!

I had such a great weekend- Mother's Day and my Nanny's 80th Birthday. I can't express how full my heart feels after seeing my family. I love them so much and I am so thankful that I got to spend a weekend in Houston. Seeing my Dad was great, seeing my Mom was wonderful. We stayed up Saturday night and went through old pictures and laughed...I found a note book I had made that had all the letters my Dad had sent me when he was overseas each summer- '95-'98. I didn't realize how awesome it would be to look back at those (good going CJ) Mother's Day morning we got coffee and cinnamon rolls...Mmmm was that good!
My Nanny's 80th birthday was such a sweet time too. She is one of the most faithful, God-seeking, and caring women I know. I am so glad that I got to be there. Here are some pics of the event:

You can't see them very well, but I am wearing birthday cupcake earrings My Aunt Kacky made!

 Happy Birthday Cake!!

I also got to see my Meemee and Papa too. I am so thankful for them. I don't know who or what I would be without them in my life.  :)

I love my Family!!!

Kellie and I got to spend a lot of time together. I love her so much. We are in the process of helping her apply to UTA!! Whoo hooo BE A MAVERICK! Please pray that Kellie continues to be encouraged to come up here and graduate with her BSN degree. (Nursing)

Thank you Lord that I can rest in you. Rest in your power, eternal perfection, glory and holiness. I will never be perfect, never be without sin, but it is your life, death and resurrection that brings peace. Peace of knowing that even though I will not accomplish perfection, Your blood covers me and is the propitiation for my sin- I have faith in eternal life.

"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16
