I am not a writer. So, I won't even pretend to be. But, I wanted to share a few things. First, I had an amazing birthday this past week. I felt very loved. I don't like to make a big deal out of my birthday EVER...but this year some of my family and friends made a big deal out of it anyway. OK, they didn't make a "BIG" deal out of it, but it was big to me. I am very blessed to have such great people in my life, and not because they act like they like me so much.
Most importantly, lately I have been doing a lot of "soul" searching and trying to clear my mind and focus what is really important in life. I have been having a difficult time with the kids and a little stressed from just plain ol' life. But the reality is...I have EVERYTHING and then some. I have a job that I love, I have adorable, healthy, strong-willed little girls that want nothing more than attention and to be loved. I have a husband who sacrifices more than most men so that he can provide for his family above and beyond what is really necessary. I love him for so many other reasons as well. I have a loving family that would do anything for Mark or I if we asked; and I have the most amazing friends that are like sisters to me. My life isn't perfect, definitely not stress free, but I really am lucky. It's taken me too long to figure out that there really is an undeniable God that loves me (and you) more than I could love any of the things or people I mentioned above. I am so grateful and deeply humbled by this. I will avoid rambling any further, but if you read one thing from my small book here...I hope it's this: if you are looking for some kind of meaning, purpose and perspective? Click on the Uganda Go link next to this post. It will rank as some of the best quality time you ever invested in reading. Get some tissue and be prepared to never view things the same. At least, that is my hope. Say a prayer for the people that live there and the teams that visit. They need it. Now...get to reading!
