So much has been going on, but I will recap only today. It was a precious time for our family. On Friday, our Bayleigh Joy turned one. What a bittersweet day. I love watching her grow, but it is sad as well. Time is fleeting. Our days are numbered. I remind myself of this each morning now. Don't waste this moment, I say almost audibly.
Back to today...
We celebrated Bay's first year of life with family here at home. That might sound like just another day...unless you know our family. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents...it was a big shindig. A pinata met its doom, kids ran screaming through the house and yard, yummy food was consumed (my honey is the most excellent cook!)...it was wonderful. When all the goodbyes were said, and all our guests were gone, we did what any partied out family would do...we played kickball while Bay fell exhausted into her crib. How sweet it will be when she can play with us!
Here is the precious birthday girl...
Friends, the Lord is stretching me in some really big ways right now. Positive, life-changing stretching...but uncomfortable all the same. You know the kind when you have a person on either side of you pulling your arms in opposite directions as if to pull them right out of their sockets? Yep, that's about how it feels. It is deeply personal, so I may not end up sharing it here, but please pray...I need prayers of encouragement...to stay the course and fight the fight to the end.
