Man what a week!

Well it has offically started last week, SCHOOL! some mixed feelings with it but I have to admit the first couple of days were nice to have a break, but I know this week I'll start to miss them. I know that sounds awful but I love them very much but every once in awhile a mom needs a break! Well Kristofer started 2nd grade and he got the teacher that he wanted, he's with some kids from his baseball team which made him really happy. I think he'll do great. He loves school so I don't think it will be a problem. He's even more happy to find out that his aunt Hannah will be there at Terre Town now, she got transfered so that makes him happy. Kolton started preschool again this past Thursday, and loved it. He likes to ride the bus home from school, so we let him go ahead and continue doing that. I think this has really helped him out with all of his delays but I know that it doesn't matter if he's behind he'll catch up GOD IS FAITHFUL! Well another thing that took place in the Julian Family this past week was our baby turned 5!!!! I know Kolton isn't a baby anymore, it's really exciting watching him learn new things and grow but this is it no more babies for us so it's really sad at the same time. But I know there will come a day when I might feel good about this but right now it's sad. We are having his party this coming Saturday so I'll be able to post some pics later on. I will ask for a favor for those that do read this if you would keep me in your prayers, this past week when the house was quiet and no one around, I had a hard time with all that has been going on. Sometimes when you get yourself busy, you don't have time to actually think about everything, and that is how it's been for me. Life has been busy these past couple of weeks and when it slowed down this week I had time to actually think about what has happened. I have been really missing my dad, I know he's in a much better place but it's been really harder than I 've been letting on. I know it's going to get easier as time goes by but I just need strength to get thru it I really appreciate it. Well I'll post some more later on I"m going to bed because tomorrow starts another busy week

Happenings in the family

Well it's been a while since I last wrote almost a month , but it's been a busy time for our family. We went on vacation to Myrtle beach,Sc the last week of July. We had a great time and I'll post those pictures tomorrow. Then when we were on our way home we got a phone call and said that my dad wasn't doing so well, so we hurried home(as fast as we possiblly could).
well we knew that it was going to happen, but we just wanted to be there
God granted us that, my dad held off until we got home he actually held out for 12 more hours. I thank God that we got to be with him in his passing to Glory! I know that he's in a much better place now, no more pain, not sick anymore. Which I'm doing pretty good, miss him every second because we were very close, but I know that I will see him again someday. And not everyone has that peace when a loved one passes away but God allowed us to witness that. My dad redediacated his heart to Jesus about 6 months ago, and the dr gave him 2 weeks to live on Fathers' Day but God allowed him to stay 7 more weeks(the perfect number). There was alot of cool things that happend before my dad passed away, I know cool in a time like this but God is good no matter what we are going thru, and no matter how hard the situation is God will get you thru. I have learned that first hand, but anyway the cool things that happend that you knew it was God was : my dad went out singing OH how I love Jesus, which was really cool, and then there was dove that flew past his window several times during the day, and he was in room 700 and was in the LightHOuse room, how great is God. Thru lil things God shows us that He is in control of everything. I know that I miss him, and it's ok to be sad but God has given me a peace that I truly can't explain, it's amazing because i thought i would be a mess. But I'm a Child of the Most High God and I don't grieve like those who don't know Him, I have a peace that surpasses all understanding and I have a hope that i know i'll see him again.
I have been praying for healing and i'ts finally taken place, a total healing in his body! Thank you Jesus. God is great and no matter what storm comes my way or your way always know that HE will get you thru and that doesnt' mean that He will stop the storm but He will get you thru it and calm it. Praise God no matter what you go thru and i'ts alot easier to get thru it!
So I know that was long but that's why I haven't written for a while but I will post some pic of vacation later
