Pray for God's destiny~
We had a miracle with a couple of our children~ The oldest was born and not expected to live....the first night Doctors gave us a very hopeless report.....that he may not live through the night...and it never came to pass....
he just graduated from college, is happily married and is in the ministry. The second one from the get go we were told had a myriad of health issues...every doctor visit was dreaded because of things we would hear.

Not one thing the doctors said came to pass.
Early on in our children's lives we decided we would pray for them~safety, protection...and that they would serve God....successfully...fervently.

We prayed that they would fulfill God's destiny for their lives and that their lives would not be cut short....
we taught them to navigate through difficult waters...
and not to let a storm dictate their direction in life.

Cardiff by the Sea~we named our son Cardiff, it means strong fortress by the water....
Here is my 21 year old fortress, one of my blessings, with his little sister, no sickness, very healthy, absolutely amazing....couldn't ask for a more wonderful son....he has learned to navigate well through rough waters.
He is currently heading up a missions team in Paraguay and loving it. Thank you God for not listening to the Doctor either.
Don't ever let anyone but God dictate your kids destiny~you pray and get the gameplan. Then like a coach you tell your kids....this is how we are going to play the game....
One more little thing~
I love June 14th, Flag day, because I married Mr. Farmer that day 30 years ago. With my 30 years and his 30 years of marriage sometimes it feels like 60 years! buwahahahaha....
Seriously I love this man....yes he makes me gather eggs, throw hay to the sheep (and yes I have my makeup on by then) and chase the sheep, I won't say what other chores I have had to do for the faint of heart who may read this....but there have been a few yucky things I as his farmer sweetheart have to do....
But all in all I am madly in love(mad and in love) with this guy! And I am grateful for the day I literally heard God speak to me! And say! "This is the one!" Oh yes I did! My heart swooned! His family laughed hysterically the first time I helped him plant a garden in my little designer jeans and makeup....
You know what they say about women with no makeup? Every barn looks better with a coat of paint! Buwahhahahahahaha
OKOK....
OKOK....

And, as you well know, miracles are everywhere. Ours was 7 weeks early and weighed less than 4 pounds. He's now nine years old ... strong, healthy, and big for his age.
Thanks for the reminder ... from one lucky mama to another.
Happy Anniversary!! Wishing you another 30 years...then it will be 60!!
Mr.D and I will be married 31 years in September...sure doesn't seem like that many years have gone by. I knew he was the one and I would tell everyone that he was the one, that he would marry me and that he just didn't know it yet!1 And I was right about it.
Have a great week.
