Rainy Day 2 and My Girls

Today was one of those days that not much was done, but I just could not seem to slow down. Lena and I spent some of the morning curled up in the recliner cuddling. It is moments like this that I look back and think about my mom and how much I miss her. She would have loved to be in that same recline holding my baby girl just as she held me so many times many years ago. I will never know or understand why she is not here with me to comfort me when I need her and enjoy the happy moments God has blessed my family with. I take comfort in knowing that my mom is in heaven waiting on me and I will be with her again one day. Thank you Jesus!!!

I wanted to share the latest picture of my girls....their Christmas picture. The oldest is Faith. She is a freshman at Chipley High School and one of the smartest teenagers I know. The knowledge in that child's head is amazing. She is in 9th grade and taking a 11th grade math course. I can only imagine what she is meant for in this world and I cannot wait to see what God does with her beauty and brains!!! Faith is actually my stepdaughter, but she is mine to me. I love her just as I love Lena and I have been so blessed to have her in my life. She is my best friend and one of the lights of my life and I cannot imagine a day with out her in it to share the good and bad. She is a wonderful blessing!!!
The youngest is Lena. Lena came into our life 2 years ago on November 27th. She was named after my Mema (Lena Pearl Campbell). Mema was able to witness Lena being brought into this world and was able to spend almost a full year with h er before the Lord called her home. We are all blessed for the time that Lena had with her. I thank God he allowed my Mema to be a part of her early life. Lena takes after her big sissy in the smarts department. When she came into this world she was wide eyed and absorbing everything around her. She was not a typical sleep all the time baby. Trust me if God had not answered my prayers for her to sleep I do not think she ever would have. To this day she is like a sponge soaking up everything around her. She is like her Mema.....nosey!! lol I am so excited watching her grow. I so wish she would stay little longer, because time flies so fast, but I am so excited to see what Gos has planned for her. IT WILL BE AMAZING!!!! Lena is the light in my life that gives me that extra get up and go. Her smiles melt my heart and I can honestly say that there is no greater love other than our heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ than the love of a child. Thank you Lord for blessing me with 2 of the most beautiful and wonderful gifts, Faith and Lena.
