Hey, today is my big 30th b-day. What a day! It is pretty dreary and I was changing pee-pee sheets around 6:30 am. However, at 4am when Caleb awoke to nurse God had already put a new song in my heart. This is sooooo odd. I woke up at 4 am singing a song, as clear as day, that I used to sing at GA camp...now that was a LONG time ago.
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tride and true.
And with thanksgiving, I'll be a living, sanctuary, for you.
WOW! What a way to start a birthday. I hope that this year I will be in constant praise and worship for another wonderful year of blessings. And even in the not so good ole days I pray they will not make me weak--but brave and even more faithful. I realized as I shared my 9 things last night as small group (3 places, 3 events, 3 people that affected my life) that many of my events have not been so wonderful...yet, GOD has turned many of those shaping events into blessing and character growth. It was quite a epiphany for me. My one positive event with no negative string attached is still marrying Jonas. I know folks are sick of hearing that...but it's true. The birth of both of my kids is also my other event!! WHAT A MIRACLE and privilege to have 2 healthy boys.
Last night, our small group did our sharing--it was risky for so many introverts among us to open up and share...it was even tough for some extroverts. But, the pay off was neat. Many of us have experienced similar heartaches and have a similar focus in our life--family and loving our children. I think it is going to be an awesome time together with them this year.
