{Maggie & Emily Rose}

We knew it was coming, but I suppose that it has come a bit quicker than we expected.

We are growing up. Our lives are changing.

Today was Breezy’s homeschool graduation open house. It was a lovely party and I will write more about it later, as well as post pictures. In the meantime, you should read this post by my dear cousin (who I think of as my second sister).

We have a beautiful future to look forward to, but it can be hard to say farewell to the past.

The Lord is forever good and faithful. Praise His holy name!

Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever.

From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.

Psalm 113:1-4

    Thanks for the link Emily Rose! I just took a look at your cousins blog, It’s very nice! I am now following her blog too! =:D

    Yes, growing up can be so hard sometimes. I remember wanting to stay young, but now I would not go back, I like being a “grown up”! =:D I pray that you and your cousin and Breezy will have many more joyous times ahead!

    Blessings and Hugs!

    Ohhh…I know how you feel. My older sister graduated last year, and what a time it was! ‘Tis scary how quickly time flies…I thank God he is at the helm of our lifes, rather than us!! We can rest in His assurance and trust in that glorious future, for with Him in the lead, it truly will be beautiful. :)

    Oh, I hope Breezy has an absolutely lovely life ahead of her! I am sure you are plum tuckered out, and hope you get plenty of rest tonight, as well!

    I love going back and looking at everyone’s comments and well wishes on my graduation, last year.

    It is just the right thing to read when I feel down!

    Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

    Ah it is SO hard letting go of the past, I’m a nostalgia kind of gal and sometimes the future just gets me all tied up! :) Thank goodness the Lord has a plan for us and a hope, we can rest and find Joy in that! Lovely site!
