Tumbling into a new season...

I feel like I am getting ready to say goodbye to an old friend. Today feels like the end of a season. Actually, I guess for me it is. The last three months have been packed full of memories. Full of changes. Full of laughter, tears and heart tugs. I haven't really stopped long enough to process the fullness of it all yet. I think that may come next week. When the house is quiet. And the chaos begins to calm a bit. But for now, I am going to spend the weekend saying goodbye properly. Unplugging. Renewing. Refueling with my family. Burying the memories deep....






There are only 2 Spinks girls under our roof now but sisters are connected at the heart!




She said goodbye to her college season. Well done sweet girl. You finished strong!



They said goodbye to their beloved Athens. They loved that town well. You both left an impact there.


We celebrated one grandmother turning 70! We love you Maw-Maw!!


And the other grandmother turned 75!! Love you too Nana!


We moved them to a new house!


We moved her to a new house!


We are moving her to a new room!


She moved into a new place in his heart!


And we are learning to be parents to new son. Parents to newlyweds. Parents to a college student and parents to an almost 16 year old all at the same time!!


There is a time for everything under heaven. A season for it all. As I head into yet another season of being a mom, my heart is mourning the season I am leaving behind. But He is Faithful to move with me. Taking the next step. Allowing Him to lift my chin and look up so that He can show me the way... 

Praying for you, sweet friends, as you prepare to begin a new season. His plans are perfect. Trust Him!
