Waiting...
Chris had me make this for his digital photo frame at work. I really like this verse combined with the wheat field. The idea is that a farmer can plant the seed, water it, nourish it...but the only thing that can make it grow is GOD. We have to wait for the God of the harvest to provide, and just keep walking in His ways.

My blog...foreshadowing
I realized just now that I missed my one-year "blogiversary". I started blogging on February 6, 2008. I've really enjoyed it! I hope you have too! Happy Blogiversary to me!
As I looked back I saw one of my first posts: "The Lord Gives, and Interprets Dreams!" I got chills reading this post, because at the time I had no idea that my very dear Grandma was mere months away from her terminal cancer diagnosis and death. In fact, it was shortly after this post was written that she started feeling bad. Her friends have told me they started noticing right around mother's day or a little before that she was bowing out of more and more activities due to tiredness. She was too stubborn to go to the doctor about anything until her pain became unbearable in early July. She died in mid-August.
God was preparing me, and I didn't even know it. And He always is, as long as I am listening. Thank you Lord!

Deception
I can hardly believe the deception that a 4-year old is capable of.
Aaron actually formulated a plan to get a treat that involved decieving Mommy and Daddy.
You see, he still wets at night, so he wears a pull-up to bed. We let him get a treat in the morning if his pull-up is dry. We don't make a big deal if it is wet.
Earlier this week he came into my bathroom after he woke up and said, "Let's go get my treat!" I looked at the designs on the front of his pull-up, indicating it was dry, and headed toward the kitchen. I looked into his bathroom and saw a wet pull-up on the floor with his pajama bottoms. Then it hit me--he got up, realized his pull-up was wet, so he changed into a clean pull-up instead of underwear like he normally does. I cannot believe he thought of that and actually did it! He wanted me to think the pull-up he had on was actually the one he had worn all night.
The next morning he came into my bathroom again, announcing it was treat time. Chris asked him if he had changed into a clean pull-up, and he wouldn't answer. I asked him, "Did you keep your pull-up dry last night?" and he said, "Don't ask that question!" He would not tell the lie--thank goodness. We went to his bathroom again, where I found his wet pull-up, again, and I had to explain to him that what he had done was a lie and he needs to tell Mommy and Daddy the truth.
I am not looking forward to more loss of innocence. Where did my little 5 lb baby go?
