What can I say? Life has been rolling right along, so hectic that I have had no time to post anything on here.
I'm not even sure where I left off but I'll try and catch you up.
This year for the WELLS family has been so hectic and chaotic. And its in the chaotic moments that I am reminded of who holds our future and directs our steps. It has not been an easy ride fo sho! But like I said in my first post, you just hang on and enjoy the ride. The ups and downs, the moments you think you can't take anymore, the good times and bad, you hang on to each other and just keep on rollin' along.
My kids are my heart. We have 4 (of course you know that). They are such a blessing. We have two which are teenagers(yeah, still continue to pray for my sanity!!!). And then we have a 10 yr old and a 4 yr old. I love them dearly and treasure every moment I get with them. Our oldest, Ashley, is 19 and trying to embrace adulthood while still staying close to mama and daddy(which keeps mama very happy). Hard for sure, but like I've told her, if you seek God and his direction for your life, he'll get you there. We've been through some rough spots this year, but have been brought out on top every time.
I'm not sure where this ride is gonna take us next, but I do know that as long as God is leading this rollar coaster, we'll all be just fine. I love the things about our family that make us unique from the quiet family life. The laughter, the crying, the siblings fusses we have to break up, the hustle each morning to make sure everyone gets to where they need to be, the random noises that erupt from certain people that make us bust out laughing, just the overall things in life that make us the family we are. But most importantly, I am thankful for God's hand in our family. In our relationships, in our day to day activities, in our finances, and in our childrens lives. I constantly pray for his mighty hand to guide my children so that they will follow his direction and not go astray. Its a mama's prayer and I'm sure you mama's out there pray it too.
Well, just a few words of things that crossed my mind recently. Life is not always what we want it to be. And Life in the WELLS house is not about what we want, its about what God wants for us as a family and individually. And that's what we are striving for, to be where he wants us to be and work together as he would have us do.
