Jan. 24, 2007 - 60

SO my mother is going to be 60 tomorrow. That just doesn't seem right. I have never been on e to think about age, and how old a person is. But man 60 has sort of hit me. THis is  a big number for her.  We are going to surprise her on Sunday and show up at her church and then take her out to dinner, just kind of spend the whole day w/ her.  I hope it's just what she wants.

I feel like I am getting into some sort of slump. I am praying that God gives me the strength to get through this. I am looking forward to spring. And winter has just begun. It has gotten so cold here lately.  And spring break seems so far away.  As I look outside, I can't help but imagine green grass, and flowers blossoming, and warm sunny days. But all I see is snow covered ground, and gray gloomy skies.  I am not depressed, please don't think that. I am just looking forward to the spring. 

I am really amazed at how God has blessed us. It is so cool to sit back and watch him take care of our needs.  I think that he wanted to teach me to take a back seat. So many times I will pray about something and then get up and try and figure out a way to take care of what I just prayed God would take care of. And since Jeremy has been layed off, I have really just sat back, and watched him take care of things.  And he HAS!!!  I just have to say it again, I am amazed.
