Teenage Years, Here We Come


Today is a special day in the Reynolds Nation. Our oldest child is turning 13!!! Unbelievable! How did this happen? She is still 2, right? Where did the time go? Seems like it was yesterday and she was sleeping peacefully in her bassinet. And now, our sweet baby has become a teenager!

She is spunky..tall...dark...and quite beautiful. She loves the Lord and is really coming into her own as a believer. She is the leader of the pack...the biggest helper here at the house...and loves on her younger siblings. Though many say the teenage years can be the worst time, we are proclaiming that they will be fun, full of exploration and with lots of expectation of what the Lord is doing. We are not the norm. We are not part of the mainstream. We declare that a teenager can be an awesome witness and example of a disciple of Christ. We love her so much and feel honored that the Lord gave her to us to raise. May we continue to do right in His eyes. Happy Birthday Bryn Elisabeth! You are a blessing!

Gratitude Friday

Image
Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
