Wow!  Life can get away from you sometimes.  I've been neglecting the blog lately because we been busy around here.  I have had so many thoughtful blogs written in my mind lately.  Sigh.  They will never be retrieved at this point.  I've only got a couple of minutes to pop in now before I MUST get up in the shower and start the day.

The big news around here has really been a bit of a stumbling point for my heart lately.  We took Pickles in for an eye doctor appointment per some concerns we've had and yes indeed the child is VERY nearsighted like dh and I.  He will get glasses this week.  I'm hoping that will help with some of his attention issues when in church or in audience situations. 

But the thing that has had my heart tied in knots at times lately is to learn that he is also color blind deficient.  I know it isn't life threatening or a disease but it has brought me face-to-face (yet, again) with the realitiy of our fallen state.  It has made me quite sad for our little man because he has to deal with the effects of sin in his body. 

I'm reminded that I must hold my hand open and pray for the strength to dream-the-dreams God has for my child rather than the ones my selfish flesh would desire. 

Parenting is a process of letting go...and it begins when the baby cries for the first time.

Living in a world of vibrant color doesn't compare to walking in the wisdom of the Word.  I pray my child walks in the wisdom of the Word with his heart firmly kept by the King.

"My son, keep my words, And treasure my commandments within you.  Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching as the apple of your eye."

Proverbs 7:1-2
