Which brings me to last week. Technically, this story starts four weeks ago, so let's go back that far. I'm sitting in my recliner, with the windows open. It's the beginning of April. It's been 90 degrees every day for the past three days, and the weather forecast says it will stay in the 90s for the foreseeable future. We have a friend who has a daughter who shares friends with EJ, and in the past we have accidentally scheduled birthday parties on the same day, which turned out quite disappointing for the kid whose mom was a little slow on the invitations. (Me. That would be me.) So this year, I thought I would get ahead of the curve and invite said mutual friends early. Like, a month early. The only problem being...I can't see the weather that far ahead. But I thought, better make plans now than not. Brilliant reasoning, I know.
I've been a Christian for quite a while. Let's just say over twenty years. (Wow. That's a long time, and now I feel old!) So I'm no dummy when it comes to God's ways being higher than mine, and how I'm not supposed to question, just obediently go along with His plans. But being a sinner, that is really hard. You know what I mean?! Maybe in twenty more years...but I am NOT there yet.

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
