Mother's Day

-
 
Happy Mother's Day to my Mama - the person who has always bent over backward for me, Ashley, and Michael (and Honeygirl).  She is caring, funny, and beautiful.  She always looks for the positive in situations.  She is very strong and hardworking.  We have been extremely blessed to have her in our lives. 
Like I have said, I don't know where I would be without this woman as my mother. 
I hope that one day (one day...a long time from now haha) I will be at least half the mother she is.
 
Sometimes we forget how much our mothers truly do for us.  I know I've been guilty of that, many times.  But there is so much that she does behind the scenes that I don't always think about.  Like I said, I have been blessed!

I've also been blessed to have had two beautiful, wonderful grandmothers, one of which is still with us.  I was so lucky that both were local and I got to see them as much as I did (and still get to see Granny every single day).
Grandma was an amazing and godly role model and friend, and Granny continues to be as well.
The time that I have had with them is so precious and means so much to me.
The memories we have made are priceless.  I cherish the memories I have with Grandma, and continue to make wonderful memories with Granny. 
I am so very thankful!

Today, Granny and I went to the mall for a bit and shopped.
 
Then our family took Mama to Fatz to eat lunch and it was delicious!
 
We then went to celebrate Mother's Day at my aunt's house.
It was a nice day :)
 
Hope everyone else had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!!

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

-
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
