Our Potential....God's Will

Blessed Be The Name

Job 1:21 NIV "...the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

"Love found. Love lost. A goal reached. A broken dream. Both good and bad are in our lives. Each thing we experience helps to shape who we become. Each thing that happens to us should be looked upon as purposeful, allowed by the Sovereign Hand of God. Our circumstances are not always pleasing, yet we can always take pleasure within them in knowing that God´s perfect will is being accomplished. It´s not easy, yet the benefits are tremendous. With each and everything we face, God has a perfect purpose. To say otherwise would be to say that some of what shapes us is beyond His control. He sees in us the potential of who we can be. His will is to see that we meet that potential, and He will only allow us to experience those things that can be used in doing so."

Happy Halloween!

What an awesome night for trick-or-treating last night...Cadie and Mason even saw a shooting star in the cloudless sky!! We had the Collins over to eat Mummy Dogs and other snacks and then we hit the streets. The kids RAN and Lisa and I rode the golf cart as we made it about 3 blocks before the candy bags were FULL!!! (Robert and Joe went to the SHS football game and met up with us later. :) We ended the night with hot chocolate and some of us decorated cupcakes Cadie had made earlier in the day! Here's a few pictures, which were very hard to get since the kids and Gracie were impatient to get the night started!! Gracie even had a costume, but she ditched the hat before we got out of the door!! Enjoy!! Amy
