Family :: Scholten

You know how sometimes when you meet another person, you love them instantly? And then you know how sometimes when you meet another person, you really just don’t care for them at all?

Also, you know how you would do ANYTHING for the people you really love, ESPECIALLY your family? Especially your sister?

 

I’m like all those things on crack.

 

By the time my sister started dating her now-husband, she had recently experienced a lot of “relationship turmoil”. I, therefore, was feeling even more protective of her than normal. The first few years of their marriage were difficult and I had my frustrations with Bryan. It has taken me years to say that I truly and deeply love my brother-in-law. And I’m okay saying that I didn’t love him or trust him immediately. I’m okay with that because he and Becky both had to go through the valleys in order to find the strength and deepened love that they now feel and exhibit in their daily lives. I’m so thankful for the way he has learned to love my sister and be a godly leader of his family. I’m so thankful for the way that my sister and her husband teach and love their children biblically.

Hands down :: this is my favorite family ever.

 

 

I love this kid. His favorite color is brown :: because that was the color of Jesus’ Cross. He just celebrated his 6th birthday. On his birthday cake, he wanted a picture of Jesus. Precious? I think so. My handsome little nephew.

 

 

And I love this little lady. She just celebrated her ELEVENTH birthday. That’s so strange for me. I never thought I’d be one of those people who would say, “I remember when you where ‘this big’!” My beautiful little niece. She is an ARTIST. My goodness, the way she draws blows my mind. PS: she asked for these glasses for Christmas because they looked like mine.

 

My beautiful sister. She is kind. She is patient. She is loving. She is prayerful. She is thoughtful. She is silly. And she has a bubble butt. When I was 5, she also convinced me that I was born when our parents picked their noses and put the boogers in a flower pot. Yes, I am a booger flower.

 

My handsome brother [in-law]. He is kind. He is selfless. He is smart. He is a leader. He loves the Lord. He is an artist. He is a hard worker.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Leave some love!
