long/hard work

(roanoke, va. july 2013)

we are in a battle for our children's souls! we have to be faithful NOW! we have to nail their sin & not be lazy about it. we will answer to the Father for how we parented our little ones. are being diligent to disciple their hearts & teach them the truths of the Word? are we daily making the gospel clear to them? it's hard work & such a great responsibility. amazing that the Lord would choose us as parents to teach our sweet ones all they need to know. give us grace great God to remain faithful on this road!

oh i've missed being in this space & sharing my heart on this crazy journey! i've missed it & realized how much i need it & how good it is for my soul! our summer was full & busy & rich! the above picture was obviously not from this summer because we're all in coats & sweaters, but i found it as i was looking through pictures to send to our adoption agency for our baby girl!!!!! 

so here's a little update on us... my husband has been accepted to the sovereign grace pastors' college which he will start in september! we're sooooo excited AND he will get credit toward his degree at southern seminary! we're excited to see where the Lord leads!

we're about ready to start our homestudy for our baby girl & we're all so tired of waiting! we want our sweet girl here right now! 

my burdees shop is taking off & we're so blessed by it! we have some new styles coming to the shop soon & a giveaway happening this weekend! you can follow my shop on instagram @burdees.
