Here's how it all started...

We helped our daughter out of an abusive marriage. She came to live with us with a 4 month old and a toddler. Wow.

You know the saying, "If you want to make God laugh, make plans?" I had a plan, and God laughed!

My plan did not include helping raise my grandchildren while my daughter went back to school to begin again on her own. My plan did not include watching my precious child go through the heartache and heartbreak of divorce. My plan did not include having grandchildren shuttled from one parent to the other, one of whom had harmed them. My plan was selfish. I wanted MY time, MY activities, MY way.

But God had a better plan. I would not trade these last two and a half years for anything. The bond I have with my grandkids is unlike any I would have with them if they did not live with us.
I've seen all the firsts : first steps, first tooth, first laugh. I've watched my 4 year old granddaughter kneel by her little brother's bed at night and talk to Jesus. I can't understand her, but He can!!!

I've seen my daughter grow as a mom. She's a great mom! She has had her doubts, but I never have.

Life is good. God is good.
