1-1-11

Wow!  Is it really 1-1-11???!!!  How did that happen.  Weren't we just all worried about entering the new millennium just yesterday.  You remember.....when everyone was freaking out and believing that our computers were all going to crash at the strike of midnight and everyone was running out to buy generators!!  And here we are 11 years later (with none of that happening - by-the-way!!)

I remember as a young newlywed and a new believer begging Jesus not to return until I had a baby,  and then I begged to Him not to return until I had a 2nd - then a 3rd.  And then I started begging Jesus to not rapture all of us until all my babies grew up and had babies of their own....and then the begging cycle just starts over again with the new generation!!!  I remember seriously thinking we would never see the turn of the century because Jesus would surely return before then!!  Shows how much I know and also shows how little I get right!!!

So now, after our hard, hard, hard 2010, you can hear me praying, "Lord come quickly....or please let 2011 be much much much better than 2010!!!  But I know one thing for sure....only He knows His calendar, and only His way is Perfect!!!

But no matter no matter no matter (I like saying things in 3's - can you tell!!??) how hard it's been or how hard it may come....our biggest blessing that trumps all other things are these most wonderful 8 little people that grace our hearts and our lives!!  Nothing can buy this type of Blessing!!!
