I am so excited to have my mom close by again :) Okay so lets be honest she is not “that”close because it is still a 6 hour drive for us to her house and home again but that beats 18 hours any day... not only did she live 9 hours away but it was 9 hours of driving through west texas where there is nothing to look at during the road trip. Unless of course you went on a windy day you’d be lucky to see a tumbleweed cross the road occasionally :0 haha. Actually my former youth Pastor used to say:
“It is so flat here you can sit on your back porch and watch your dog run away for 3 days“.
Anyways, back to my story,
I am so excited to have my mom so close and for the first time in many many many years we were able to spend a birthday with her!!! Yesterday we woke up and drove to Granbury and spent the day with my mom, my sister and my my sisters family.
We celebrated 2 birthdays: my moms and Jojo’s (can you believe he turned 14!, Where does the time go? :( )
This time together was a reminder of God answering prayers... I prayed for my mom to move for years and years and there we sat, eating birthday cake in the middle of answered prayer -> Her home.
After the festivities as I was driving home, Scott fell asleep so I turned on some worship music and I was thinking about how rough 2009 was for us... in all of our years of marriage 2009 was an extremely hard year...not in our marriage but just life in general, we encountered alot of trials in 09'!
But then I refocused and I begin to think about all the ways God has already moved on our behalf this year and I am humbled and in awe, so I drove and I sang my heart out to an amazing God whom I love so much!
