New Season

Well, I'm sure this isn't the only blog that was ever started with - I never thought I would blog but....  You see, I am starting this blog as the "fourbrownbees" start a new chapter in their life together.  why the four brown bees?  Well, Jerry and I started out our marriage in 1997 as the "twojaybees" for our initials, JB.  Since then, God gave us the most precious kids we could have ever hoped for - Lauren and Jerry III.

We create this with a greater purpose today - as a reminder for us, our children and the generations to come that God is faithful and "that they may set their hope in God and would not forget His deeds," Psalm 78:7.  My prayer is that I will continually have HIS praise on my lips during this new season.  Nine years ago, I started writing to our daughter, Lauren, in her baby book and continued this with our son Jerry.  But even before then, I started a journal.  A different kind and even though the entries have sometimes had as much as two years between them, it will some day show our children that God has been faithful and heard our prayers.  Many of our struggles and miracles, including our kids, are written there as a testimony for us now and in the future.  This time is filled with sadness for us as we leave our church family but GOD will bring good out of it! The joy of the Lord is our strength!

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."  Genesis 50:20

May this be a place where we share the journey that this new season has brought us and the victories God has in store for our future so that others will set their hope in God!  Welcome to the fourbrownbees blogspot!
