Easter Sunday

"If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you"-Romans 8:11. Easter Sunday was an amazing weekend for the Joneses. We spent the weekend in Guin to celebrate the resurrection of our Christ Jesus and my 26th birthday. My dad had completed his first round of chemo but had not yet lost his hair...as you can see in the pictures below. He has currently completed the first 2 rounds and other than feeling a little blah he has done amazing. Please continue to pray for our family and strength for my dad during the next treatment rounds.

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day and I wanted to say how grateful I am for my wonderful mother. When I think of my mother several characteristics come to mind: giving, compassionate, caring, loving, CRAZY, humerus, Godly, wise, respectful, caregiver and many many more. She has been an amazing Mom my entire life and is constantly giving of herself to take care of others. Over the years she has taught me to live as a Godly woman, always laugh, care for others, cherish family and above all PRAYER! Over the past 4 years I have seen courage and wisdom in her shine. I hope that if God places trials in my life that I can handle them with the same grace and faith that she has. My family has been amazed by Gods miracle in my dad life but I think we often fail to see my Mom's courage and faith as a miracle in itself. Love you Mom...YOU ROCK! Below are a few pictures that capture my Mom and her incredible personality.





















May she who gave you birth be happy. ~ Proverbs 23:25

Happy Mom Day! Love you!
