I've been blessed to spend the last two weeks with my sweet Abi after swim camp. Proverbs 3.5-6 pulls at my heartstrings when I think of all the praying we did four years ago. Jeremy had graduated from Auburn and was offered what had seemed like the perfect job about 6 hours away in Florida. If they would have taken the job it would have supported the family and Sachi would have been able to be a part time PT and spend more mom time. I prayed all that week for the Lord to show them his path and selfishly prayed it would be one to keep them here where I could spends summers with Jonah, Abi & Luke (who call me Aunt Amber, even though I'm their 2nd cousin). To no surprise the Lord spoke and they listened! Today I watched Abi do a front flip as she attempted to dive off the diving board (see youtube video here!), baked triple chocolate chip cookies (that i sent with her so i wouldn't eat more junk), listened and watched as she and Coates talked about what kind of momma bird they would be. Abi asked when I thought the momma bird would stop checking in on the babies, and Coates replied, "if she is like my mom she wouldn't ever leave them alone!" I'm not sure if that was a compliment because I'm always there for him (even when he tells me he doesn't need me) but I'm taking it as one. The Lord is everywhere and today I saw it is the eyes of a beautiful curly haired princess who calls me Aunt Amber. I love you sweet Abi for many reasons, but the most important is because I love your mom!
