Highlights of the Decade

In this decade I have gotten married and celebrated ten years of marriage, bought and sold a house, went on several mission trips to other countries, coached volleyball and track, birthed two babies, moved to three different states, finished my bachelors degree, obtained my Masters, helped in church plants, went to ministry schools, gained perspective and deeper faith, began therapy, and wrote a book. It’s been a definite adventure, and I have a holy anticipation for what the next decade will hold!

Merry Christmas, My Love

Katherine,

Merry Christmas, My Love! Your unadulterated joy has been my Christmas miracle. Thank you for loving Jesus and still being excited to see Santa, snow, and the bright lights all around you at every turn! Hearing you sing Christmas songs in English and Spanish has been a real treat, and listening to you read scripture has been a highlight of my life!

Thank you for showing me how great Christmas could be, I know you are going to miss it when it’s gone, but you can celebrate it all year long if you want! I’m glad I was able to find some matching pajamas for us, and I’m so happy we got to spend time together doing some of the things we enjoy doing.

Seeing Christmas through your eyes was so magical it blessed me to see your excitement. I love you, and I’ll always love celebrating Jesus’ Birthday with you!

Merry Christmas, My Love! When you read this, I hope you know that I love you and that you truly made my Christmas season merry and bright. You saved Christmas for me this year, and my prayer is that I would remember how magical this season is for you and embrace it entirely in the future.

~Love Mom
