So, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, .... See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:7-8,12-13
As I read this passage from the Bible it reminded me of a time in my life (those lovely college years) when I was not following God's will for my life. I was totally self-absorbed and I was running from Him. My heart was hardened and therefore there was no peace within.
I am so thankful that God did not turn His back on me. I was already a child of His - He was just waiting on me to return. And here I am now, determined not to ever leave Him again, not to ever run again. I thank God for His mercy and compassion!

My Boy is Six!!!!
Bubby turned six this past week. He was sooo cute. This was the first time he was actually excited about it. He even went to school telling each teacher he passed that it was his birthday!
He invited the boys from his class to come over and play and ride bikes yesterday. I am not a party-planning mom, so my idea was just to let them play. And that they did - they rode bikes, roamed through the woods and found a huge limb that they all had to carry together! I finally called him to do the candle and sing Happy Birthday but he told me he didn't want to do that. So we just let them run around and get a cupcake and snacks as they felt like it. It was very relaxed and I enjoyed sitting on the porch talking to the other moms. I'm actually very glad I didn't try to plan things, because I know I would have just gotten anxious and frustrated.
Sissy and Baby each had a friend over too. Sissy and her friend hung out with the boys and played outside. Baby and her friend spent most of the time in her room playing dress up and dancing around. I walked in once and they were in the living room standing on the ottomans just dancing like crazy! It was too cute!
The mom of Baby's friend went in and caught them in the office. Baby had told her friend to cut her hair! Thankfully the mom walked in before they found the scissors. And Baby told the mom that I said she could do that!!! (Her brother already scalped her two years ago and we really don't need a repeat.)
There was one dad there, and Hubby seemed to enjoy hanging out and talking to him - huge success if you know my Hubby (not the most social guy on the block - but I do love him!!)
So, I think it was a great day, great birthday and Bubby had lots of fun.
I thank God for the wonderful blessings of this time and this season!
