Happy Birthday Morgan!

Today is my niece, Morgan's birthday!!!!  Happy Birthday Beautiful!  I love you so much and LOVE to see your precious, gentle spirit and heart!  You are the epitome of compassion.
The Lord is going to do mighty things with you.  Your talent amazes me!  You are going places, girl!  I am so thankful that I get to be your aunt and watch it all unfold!  Love you!

I drove through the car wash tonight with the boys.  Jamesie HATES the car wash.  It sort of breaks my heart but car washes are a part of life so he is just going to have to adjust. 
 
 
 
 
Allow me to over-spiritualize here for a minute. As I watched James looking at the scary car wash brushes all around him...on every side...and then as his face changed into a smile as he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, I immediately identified with him and how he felt. When I look around at the situations that we are in, there are some days that I see nothing but terror on every side. Everywhere I look it seems bleak and scary and overwhelming. But when I just stop and take a minute to look toward the Lord (He is my Light at the end of the tunnel), I can smile at the future. I can move ahead trusting Him that He is going to lead us through this mess. When I keep my focus on the Light...it isn't all so scary. In fact...there are some days when I can even thank Him for trusting me with this.

Psalm 27:1-The Lord is my Light and my Salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?

I know I have quoted this before but I love it and it is appropriate. "You are my blessed home, where I can enter and be at rest even when all around and above is a sea of trouble" Andrew Murray

Only 6 more days until Jude's appointment in Dallas. I am curious to see what the specialist has to say. One way or the other we will have an answer and it will be good because if she says that we are in fact right on track, then GREAT! If not...then we will thankfully be in capable hands and on our way to getting on the right track. Either way...I think it will be a relief.
Look at that face!!!! Not a care in the world! Just as it should be.
There is nothing particularly exciting about this video...just James being James. And Jude being loud.
