Having Fun on the Belt Farm



This Memorial Day weekend we spent time on the family farm. We rode 4 wheelers, roasted marshmellows, fished, and even built a picnic table as a family. We love spending time out there in the country. It is so peaceful and you can actually sit outside and think about all the wonderful blessings God has given you. Jiles has so much fun there spending time with Colby (his best cousin-in his words) and staying up late and playing outside ALL DAY!!! We love going to Marion. I have been thinking alot this weekend about our adoption and I want you all to keep praying hard. I do have a peace that something is about to take place and soon. I want you all to keep praying and I am sure you are because you all are the best prayer warriors. (Thank you!!!) I do ask that you keep the Steven Curtis Chapman family in your prayers as well as they have lost a child this past week due to a car accident at the family home. I can't imagine their grief and do lift them up in prayer.
Are God is mighty and I know his plan is big and wonderful for us all. We have to believe in that and trust in him daily. Some days just seem to be harder than others sometimes. Until then believing in Mark 11:24,
Jiles and Nico

Check out the Slide Show

Don't forget to check out the slide show at the bottom of the page. I have worked so hard on it but it is still too big. I can't seem to make it smaller but for now it will work. Enjoy!!!
I wanted to add this pic of an early morning in LBL. I had to take a master's class in digital photograpy and we had to go around and find beatiful pictures of nature. It wasn't very hard as you can see. It was so peaceful and I took some amazing pictures of mother nature.
This picture stood out to me today. Do you sometimes feel like the world is filled with such darkness and wordly things that we can get lost in it? I do and then there is God the brillant light that helps us find our way home. Just like this light shining through the darkness of the trees our light needs to shine for our Lord so we can stand out from among the crowd. I know everday I am still growing in my faith and I just hope that today someone saw his glorious light shine right through me.
Many blessings,

Gatlinberg Fun!!!
Jiles missed us but had a great time with Nana and Papaw. He went to the Little River Days and saw rabbits, goats, and played on bouncers and slides. His favorite part was the crazy train he got to ride. He kept asking me on the phone while we were away if I saw any bears so I brought one back for him to sleep with. He hasn't let it go since then. I will put some pictures of his graduation as well as the retreat pics as soon as I get home today!!
Jiles is a BIG BOY NOW!!!! We have offically graduated from Preschool at Heritage Christian Academy. He was there for 2 years and has learned so much. I can't believe next year he will be in Kindergarten and will go to school with me. Time flies so fast and he is getting so big. Jiles is the funniest and sweetiest little boy, but I know I might show a little favortism.
I couldn't help but think about our baby this weekend out there that could be getting ready to meet us for the first time soon. Being on the balcony looking over at God's creation made me think about the creation of life and how precious it is. I can't wait for a phone call from Waverly or if we find a birthmother on our own. I know God has a plan and I can't wait to see it unfold. I know if we wait on his glory our reward will be magnificent. Until then, Mark 11:24 :)
