Transformation
Today is a beautiful, but hot, day! I’m writing, while Callee is playing, Jeffrey is relaxing, and Lexi is napping. It reminds me how lucky I am to be here and really makes me reflect on how I got here. I know God had this planned this entire time yet it wasn’t any easy road. My faith was tested repeatedly and I often lost sight of Him and His glory. Here is my story…
My story starts off like most stories I’ve heard. I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church. I attended Sunday school and “Big Church” as we called it. My great uncle and great aunt had a lot to do with that. They would pick me and all the neighboring kids up and haul us to church. Granted, the church was within walking distance from my parents’ house. It was a small church that only held maybe 50 people. I was little and just enjoyed the stories and activities. I honestly don’t remember much about that church. I mainly remember the phone calls from my great aunt that said she was on her way to pick us up for Sunday school. We would be rushing to be ready for when she arrived, which was only 5 minutes after she called. My brothers and I could never be on time. lol
God’s Little Miracle
So I decided, I like Timehop. It’s an amazing reminder of the past and how much I have grown and changed. But Timehop doesn’t always show what happened in previous years. Because you actually have to post about events on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or any other social media side for Timehop to actually pick it up. And some events don’t make it to the social media sites because they’re too difficult to post about.
I’m gonna share about one of those times in this post because it didn’t make my Timehop and it won’t ever make my Timehop because I never did post about it. And it’s always going to be around this time of year because that’s when Alexa, our youngest daughter, was born. She’s our little miracle baby. Now it’s not a miracle in the sense that I had a horrible pregnancy and she barely made it to 38 weeks or that she had some disease that they had to cure. It’s in a sense of God really showing me what He could do and how strong my faith needed to be by how she came into this world.
Hello world!
This is it. I finally jumped into the world of blogging. Yea, I know… I’m a little behind the times but I didn’t think I really had anything interesting to write about. I am still questioning that but I thought, “Why not try it out? See how it goes.” So here it goes…
I’ll start off with a little bit about myself. My name is Cassie and I’m 31 years old. I have been married to my husband, Jeffrey, for 11 years. We have 2 beautiful girls, Callee who is 8 and Alexa who is 2. As if our world isn’t crazy enough, we also have 2 Boxer/Weimaraner mix dogs. They are about 2 years old and massive! They make for some funny stories though.
I work full-time as a middle school teacher, although I would love to stay home with my girls. My husband is a marketing associate for Sysco Foods and enjoys cooking and talking about food. He also runs a catering business on the side, so let me know if you have any catering needs. 🙂
