I never realized......

Since life has gotten so busy for me the last few weeks, there are lots of things that I never realized over the last 18 years. I never realized how much time I actually had for myself and the many ways that I spent that time....some lazily, some foolishly, and much more of it was quite well spent on home, family and friends. Trying to find time to have coffee with a friend or do something fun with my daughter (who is also much more busy these days) is a challenging find. But it is also filled with grace. God provides moments at just the right time to sing or pray or read or talk to a friend or even to update my blog. I am grateful! New seasons....they challenge me....my goal.....not to complain but to be awed by the grace for the season and the promise of mercies anew with each new day.

Here He Is -- Such A Cutie!!!

He's just a sweet, cute baby boy.....not much else to say....enjoy the pics!

He's Here!!!!

Yep....grandson #2 has arrived! No pics yet, I'll post those when I get them. Landen Xavier Wilfong arrived this morning....08/08/08 weighing in at 6 lbs 7 oz. Everyone is doing great! Shelley was only in labor for 4 hours and pushed for 15 minutes and he was here! What a blessing. Don't know when our crazy schedule will allow us to visit. Hopefully Gene will get a
peak at the little man this afternoon before he comes home! Yea!!!

Chelsey Says I Need to Update.....

Ok...I don't think I have much to update, other than to say, I think my calendar has exploded! It has been a challenge to add this job to the mix, but it is a blessing in many ways other than the obvious. I am learning how lazy I had gotten about getting things done in an orderly way, and needing to really look at my time management. It has been a blessing to be able to get things done in a short amount of time and still have time to relax with my family. I'm still adjusting, but God has been so gracious in all of these adjustments. Being purposeful about my time and what I do with it and making sure that nothing gets left out is essential. I'm grateful for this season of growth. I might -- well, probably wouldn't -- have chosen to do it this way this quickly, but God does know me so well! So posts are probably slack, but the more important stuff in my life is getting done when it should! I'll try to update on a regular basis, but if I don't....you know why!
