The Lord's Castle

     We immediately knew the house we have made our home for the past 3 1/2 years was a blessing from the Lord above.  However, we had no idea we would make the best of friends and our future baby boy would make the best buddy too...living right next door. 
     Andrew and I began looking at all cities under the sun within the Birmingham area.  We had no idea what areas were good, bad, or even ugly!  We were praying to find a house we could renovate..and certainly praying for one and only requirement..a carport to house my engagement ring (well..okay..it didn't exactly look like the diamond I had always dreamed of..rather it was black, had two wheels, and was a brand named Yamaha). 
     However, the Lord had much more in store.  He had a brand-new house with The Maddox Home written across it.  It had beautiful, freshly painted toffee walls which meant no pink tile to remove in the bathrooms.  It had more than a carport.  It had not only a single car garage, but a double.  The Lord abundantly poured his love and mercy in our laps.  He gave us the light of our lives..our sweet little buddy.  And, He gave us Courtney, Jason, and Clay! 
     With that said, it's important to continue to spread the joys the Lord brings.  We look forward to sharing more through the blog with you all.  Thank you for the encouragement my sweet friend, Courtney. We have a lot of catching up to do!

Love,
Summer
