Has been a while since I have posted. Life takes over and things fall to the side for a while. This blog was never to be about pressure to post every day or every week, but about something concrete I could print someday for my kids to hang on to. Kids are what I'm thinking on today. My biological kids, and my "adopted" kids.
God has a good sense of humor. I can remember growing up saying I didn't want any kids at all, and IF I ever did have kids, I'd want all boys because in my young mind, men had it easier in life than women.
What makes God so funny, is not only do I have 5 kids, three of them are girls. Beautiful smart young men and women in my house. Yes I'm biased, it is my right after all. Perfect? No. But they are mine and I think they are all amazing.
Over time I have also picked up some adopted kids, mostly young women who God has placed in my path to love on. It is interesting to me that there have been several places, none of which are really connected where I have picked up the name Mama Yontz Had you told me that would happen when I was in high school, I'd have laughed in your face. Now I wear that tag with pride. Maybe that is part of what God wants me to do, to find these young people that He places in my path, and just love and encourage them. He has sent me a young gal recently, that I have come to love like my own daughters. Comes from a much different place than my other kids, but I consider her one of my own and love her as such. She is headed to the mission field in Puerto Rico in January. I'm so very proud of who she has become, a strong wonderful woman who God has touched and will work through.
Just my rambling thoughts put out there.
