Daddy Scott


Daddy Scott is my grandaddy. He is such a special man to me. He loves people lavishly, cares for others in generosity and believes and lives for the glory of God. He has the biggest heart of almost anyone I know. He played Clemson football in college and is in the hall of fame there...he will tell you ALL about it if you ask him. His passion is farming and he has done it all of his life.
He was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the lung. This isn't necessarily a fatal diagnosis, but if you combine it with his age, pulmonary fibrosis. Sjogren's disease, and SVT, it really affects his health and well being. He was diagnosed in December and he has been declining since. We are all still hopeful, but we can see the toll it is taking on his quality of life.
He has been feeling very weak lately. He has to rest indoors alot, which is not his favorite thing to do. He hates being inside all day, but unfortunetly, this illness forces him to do that.
I would just ask you to pray for him, if you don't mind. Pray God would keep him well until the end. That he would make these days of old age good ones and that he would have energy to enjoy his favorite thing-God's creation. I know that God's will must be done, but I hate the thought of my grandfather being shut-in because of illness.
Thanks for your prayers. I just wanted to let you all know about this man who is so special to myself and Ryan. He has been a rock in our family and taught us all about the unfailing love of God....I am so thankful for the gift of him in my life!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

Lesson in the Messes

I am having a moment where I need some blogging therapy....been so long since I have hit the blogging scene but today I just felt the need for some bloggin'. At 9 am today, I was covered in poop and headed down the road of a full on melt down (me, not my 2 1/2 year old or my 10 month old---ME). We are in the throws of potty training and my type A self is taking accidents way to personally....am I alone here? I pray not.....Anyways, Jackson says he has to poop but I cannot get there because I am changing my 10 month old's poopy diaper and I tell him just to go in his Pull Up. Which I am going ahead and embracing Pull Ups after an accident soaking the entire couch and another one involving a fairly new rug!! Anyways, I finally got him out of his chair about 30 minutes later and there is poop everywhere- I mean EVERYWHERE...covering the chair, my son, his feet, his legs but I do not realize how much body surface is covered until I get him into his room and start changing him. I...
