Welcome Home, Scout!!

Scout was a wonderful Christmas present and we bought him in Powdersville, SC when he was just 5 weeks old. We really were so excited and had wanted a dog for a long time. When we got back to Charleston and figured out what our schedules were going to be like, we realized we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. Thankfully, Mr. Mike and Ms. Cindy came to our rescue and offered to help us with the little guy for a few weeks-months until things settled down a little for us. So Scout went back to Greenville when he was 6 weeks old....sad day :( We visited him a lot though so he would still remember us!

This is Scout at 8 weeks old when we went to visit him and his uncle Matt in Savannah, GA. He had gotten so big and smart! It broke our hearts to leave him again, but we knew he was in good hands with his grand-parents!

Then we were reunited again in Greenville when we went to visit with the Stanfills. I think he still remembered us and we got to play with the little guy. Yet again, we had to say goodbye for a little longer....

This weekend Scout is 11 weeks old and we decided to get him once-and-for all to be his parents. I know...it has been a long journey, but now he is back in Charleston and getting used to life with us again. We are very thankful to the elder Reeses' for all of their love, care and help raising little Scout.

Here is a picture of his first night back with us....wish us good luck as we embark on the journey of parenting!!!

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

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
