Where He Leads Me I Will Follow

My name is Carol. I am a mom, wife and small town medical provider. Our family is committed to following the Lord as He leads us. We come from Methodist, Mennonite, Messianic Gentile and other Christian experiences. Ours is a mismatched, odd-looking faith, but meaningful to us as we strive to follow the Spirit's lead. Our arms are open to all with love and acceptance. Our family is not a neat cookie cutter anything, and our life looks messy most of the time, but we struggle on with hope.

Jae's 12th Birthday

My dd turned 12 today. I am pleased that she has two good friends to share it with. We had a cookout in our backyard for the first time since moving into our home last September. Dh did a great job making some log benches and putting together a fire ring we found at Sportsman's Warehouse and keeping the fire going. We got her a Harry Potter Lego set of Hagrid's hut, which she enjoyed putting together with her friends, although all of our friends and acquaintances here may think we are crazy that we let our kids (just Ciara and Jaedyn) read and watch Harry Potter. (None of them actually said so, but none of them are familiar with it, so I am pretty sure it isn't allowed).
