Luke's Family Website

You may think that the title refers to our kids.  They certainly are growing up quickly.  In fact, I just had to buy Danielle, Alex and Zach shoes because there shoes were about 2 sizes two small for them. Poor guys!  I felt bad they've been scrunching their toes into uncomfortable shoes.  Such has been our lives recently, though! 

Actually, I am referring to ME!  With each child we've been blessed with I've grown up more and more.  It startles me sometimes as I look at our brood and think: these are all mine?  I join the lady at the grocery store yesterday who asked me if they were all mine.  Her response to me say, "Yes!" was a simple, yet profound, "Wow!"  I am

wow-ed often!

It is odd to me that I still feel about 18 years old.  My grandmother who passed away a year ago from June said she still felt 18 as well when she was well into her 80's and 90's.  So I guess it isn't too strange to still feel young while life continues. 

I realized today that I don't doubt being able to "do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  I struggle with not knowing how to carry out things: how to explain heart issues to my children, how to be the best helper to Luke, even what to have for dinner!  There are always decisions to be made,priorities for the day to make, organizing of kids, home, errands, etc, etc.  It is an awesome job to be resonsible for a home and children.  Luke and are very convicted that we are the ones God has setforth in the Bible to teach them His Word.  We are thankful for the church's provision of Sunday School, but we know that we alone are who God has Biblically declared are the ones He wants to teach them about Him and His word that is written in the Bible alone.  That can be an overwhelming task at times!  But in His Word He gives us direction and I need to be more faithful in asking Him for His wisdom in the Bible.

Oh, I've started rambling again!  My point is that I am growing up every day and realizing how much more there is for me to learn!  Guess that is what God means when He says He's still continuing the good work He started until heaven!
