Holidays & Birthdays...

I really don't know how we are arriving at Memorial Day...seems too early. I'm not in summer mode yet, although I had my annual bad experience in the tanning bed last week and looked like the old lady from 'There's Something about Mary' for a couple of days.

Tomorrow is Casey's 4th birthday. My life was so messed up when I had him, and in many ways it's a celebration for me, too. I give all of the credit to God, He has been so faithful and He always provides. When I look at MB & Michael's friends' Scott & Karen's blog about their newly adopted daughter Annabel I often think about Mark & Julie and Annie & Chris. When I see how happy and loved Annabel is, it really makes me think about Olivia and Casey...and that they have been loved in the same way...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
