come then lord jesus
the blog title is actually just a shout-out to my favorite song on the latest igrace cd.
we had a great time this weekend celebrating whit's birthday with some of our dearest friends and family. at one point saturday nite i was able to enjoy some of my favorite ladies all at once! on our new trampoline (three-way gift for the september children) we played a silly game (unrelated to jumping) and generally acted very goofy. hard to imagine, i know. partaking in the madness was a fun selection of people from my life; kirsten and chewy (recent norman), annie (sister-in-law), hannah (potential sister-in-law), and alison (dear friend since 7th grade). alison is a PT down here and it has been really fun to spend time together again since she left norman and went to A&M for college. it was so great to have everyone and we are blessed to have such wonderful friends/family.
it is weird that whit is 5, but norah catherine is still only 3 (until the 20th). and knox will be two before that so it would seem that norah catherine and knox are actually closer in age! it is hard to imagine having a baby in any other month than september...
but, who knows maybe we will get to find out.
oh and, i love sarah palin. i could say so much about this, (and i have to many kind listeners who humor me often) but i will just leave at that; i love her (so far).
and lastly, God is at work. this afternoon i had a two-hour long talk with someone i really care about. she is really struggling in her religious affairs. this girl is precious, but very reluctant to being vulnerable. essentially she said she used to believe and doesn't now. even though she wants to. she feels that God is not there anymore. it was one of those rare moments when i felt unhindered by fear or dread and told her what i believe and why. there were tears, questions i can't fully answer (how do you get faith back? she asked me), and plenty of gospel beauty. i only hope God will give her the eyes to behold that beauty.
