Time

It continues, whether we put a new battery in the clock or not. A new year has come, whether or not we buy a new calender, which I have yet to do. Every breathe ticks another second of our lives. The question then is what will I do in that second?

This year has already for me and my family brought a new change; my youngest daughter is now engaged and the wedding is set for this November. She starts a new journey of preparation to become a wife, I start the journey of preparation of an empty nest. Really empty because they WILL take the cat with them. There will be much excitement as plans are made, looking at dresses, choosing colors, wedding invitations... the list goes on.




Naval, he is in the navy, is a wonderful young man. He instantly stole my heart. He is a hugger, and I like that. He is tall, so he envelops you when he gives you a hug. He hugs me just because, and he doesn't feel the need to let go to quickly. He gives real hugs. But more importantly, he is a young man who loves the Lord. He is a seeker, and that to me is the best thing he can be. It doesn't matter whether he becomes a brain surgeon or a plumber, for he will succeed in whatever he puts his hand to because he walks well with the Saviour. That is something that was prayed for for all of our girls, long before they even cared what a boy was. All my girls have chosen wisely, because they themselves are seekers. A mother could be no prouder.

This will be an exciting year because the Lord already has it planned out. I just have to show up for duty each day. Time marches on, I plan to march with it, joyfully.
