I read a great book this month, written by excellent fellow blogger, Jen Hatmaker. Seven. Read it, it will change your life. Seven has reminded me to stop and reflect. It has reminded me we all have the same amount of time in the day, what we do with it is up to us. I won't go into the details of Seven, I hope to leave you curious enough to grab a copy and read it yourself.
Turning 35 was freaking me out just a bit, I will admit. God place Seven in my hands at just the right time. Jen Hatmaker opens with "I am only 35…" Only. Nice. It's easy to "age" myself when I have a 19 year old. The truth is, age is just a number. Each day is a gift and we can open it, appreciate it and use it for His glory or we can stress that yesterday is gone.
We learned in Trigg's gamut of tests, he has a tethered cord in his spine. We thought surgeries were behind him but we were reminded that it is not a predictable thing, ever. I have learned with my little guys born with birth defects, one birth defect can often mean several. This is more reason to be grateful God brought them to a place where they can get the services they need. We are hopeful we an put this surgery off till January.
For the first time-EVER Tyler turned one year older without getting a big squeeze from his mama. I can assure you this bothered his mama more than it bothered him. He has a sweet new friend, who was careful to make it special. I appreciate her for that.
