We are in process...process of waiting. But now we are waiting with an expectant hope that things can only get better for us. Life is new, exciting, challenging and oh so very hopeful . My mind races constantly on different ways to "fix" things for our family. But I can't even begin to imagine what great things our Daddy has in store for us...we just have to realize what gifts He has placed inside of us, own it and run with it. I think for too long in my life I have always had a passion to strive to do so much and quite frankly I don't do it. I am so fed up with living that way. I don't want to be a wife, mom, woman who just wanders meaninglessly...I want to be a woman of purpose, vision..His purpose, His vision and then execute that with the utmost precision!
It is almost exhausting thinking about all of the thoughts, plans and ideas I have spinning so frequently in my mind. TJ always knows when I'm way too deep in thought and shows me so much grace when I am unable to verbalize what's really going on. This is almost like my outlet...writing...I know at times it doesn't make one bit of sense...but it's my thoughts, it's how I feel and how I need God to speak to me so desperately... to be continued

And we're back in action...
So I had no idea that I created a blog for my family! There have been so many things I've "tried" to create that I think I just lost track. But this thing I will do my best to be committed to writing in. In September of last year I was "commissioned" to begin writing...along with getting up early in the morning before the kids get up to meet with God... Hmm?? Not doing so great on the getting up early part right now! I at least have started writing again. I am still a work in progress and striving to get up early but for some strange reason I just think I NEED MY SLEEP in order for me to be able to meet the demands of our 2 year old son and our 1 year old daughter...
At this current time we are visiting my parents in Michigan just enjoying quiet time in the country of Fenton, MI. It is so peaceful out here as the snow is falling. It's hilarious right now because Nehemiah is determined to get outside and build a snowman! Every day he attempts to escape to the backyard saying "I see a dinosaur, Mommy!" Kids and their imaginations. And then, Moriyah decides that it's fun to beat her big brother up on a daily basis. She'll just walk up to him, smack him and run away laughing! It has been a fun filled "vacation" away from our home in PA...but we are ready to get back to our home!
Speaking of which GOD JUST BLESSED US WITH A NEW HOME, WITH MORE SPACE for our expanding family! Thank you God so very much! We are getting ready to welcome our third baby, Josiah David, some time in January. Babies always have their own time schedule of when it's best for them to escape the womb. lol. We are excited though. I, however, will admit that I am a little nervous for life AFTER Josiah gets here. How will my other 2 respond to the new addition?? Especially our Moriyah! Words cannot describe her vivacious personality! I believe Nehemiah will adjust just fine as he is accepting his "rushed" role as big brother. I'm just not sure about Moriyah!! :) Any advice for a nervous mom? TJ keeps telling me we're going to be fine and the kids are going to be even better. I believe him...I just need to confess that and let it go.
Here's the skinny on the "HORTON CREW" there is TJ, me, Nehemiah (soon to be 3), Moriyah (18 months) and soon to be here Josiah (incubating!). I praise God for the opportunity to birth his children now we pray for the wisdom to raise them according to His way and not our own. It can be tough at times with young babies back to back, but we wouldn't trade it for anything...At least we're still in our twenties...well the later side of twenties! LOL!! God knows better than we do why our babies have to be close together. A good friend of ours encouraged us that "God has a special plan for your family as to why you need to have your babies quickly...he might just be preparing you to go...and you're going to need to get the baby making part out of the way NOW!!" We hold on to that so we never lose sight that God has a purpose in all things! His ways and His thoughts are so much higher, deeper and more extensive than ours!
We are loved with an everlasting love....
