July 4th Vacation

This post is much delayed...I know!!! With that said, we had a great 4th of July! Ryan and I headed to the beach with my family for the 4th. We left Greenville and headed to the beach Tuesday night. We were a little disappointed this year because my brother and his family were not going to be able to come. But, when we got to the beach house, Quin popped up from behind the couch to surprise us! We were so pumped because the entire family was together. In another house at Litchfield by the Sea, my grandmother and aunts and rest of the family were staying. So, we were all close to the same place at the same time!!! 

We were there in time for the July 4th parade. They let the kids decorate the golf cart and it looked great. We watched the parade and got in the July 4th spirit. Then, we hung out on the beach and ate a dinner of delicious seafood.

We had a great dinner at Miyabis' one night. I am seriously obsessed with steak these days, so the food was like the best thing I have eaten since I have been pregnant. We laid out at the beach, went to the pool, got ice cream and one night went to Legends in Concert. It was a wonderful trip!

Cutest thing!!

It was so hard to leave the beach and head home. Sad that our planned vacations were over and so sad to leave all the family. But, it was such a great time and we cannot until next year when our baby boy will hopefully be along for the ride, too!!

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
