everthing starts and ends with family :)

i'm home for the weekend for "Little J's" birthday celebrations.  i can't believe he's almost 15! ahh where has time gone!  it's always great being home, because it's a time to get away from the stresses of college and being able to be still- even if it's just for a little while (since my family is just as busy as me!); not to mention the free laundry and good food :).

the older i get the more i realize i have to make the most of every moment, because life is short!...and who knows where in the world i'll be soon!!  all that to say God knew what i needed when we He gave me my family...like it's said "life has many changes, but it starts and ends with family!"

for charles....

the greatest coach i've ever had...

reminiscing...

it's been over 3 years now, that i've been retired from gymnastics and 3 years ago this valentines day that charles died...just been missing that life lately. sometimes i wonder what might have been, but then i remind myself, that i would not have the passion about missions and the world that i do now.  the Lord gave me a talent and passion for gymnastics, and then took it away, to replace it with a heart for Him and the least and the lost of this world.  He is breaking my heart for the things that break His...like i've asked Him to...even though it hurts.

anyways, nothing wrong with reminiscing about that chapter of my life.  it made my day the other day when one of my girls, who i coach gymnastics to, told me that i should be a college gymnast :)  God knew i needed that little boost.

this video describes my gymnastics life...i bawl my eyes out when i watch it...
