Ok, so we both would love this, but I know my techno geek husband would be so excited.

Becca was watching a video tonight (Her current favorite is anything by The Wiggles) and she was standing there, with her play guitar dancing around.   Ben was exactly like this, still is.

In Phillipians 4:16 it says “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God;”.   

 I’m struggling with this a little bit right now, actually I’ve struggled with it for a little over a week or so.   I’ve been trying to figure it out and I’ve realized it’s a combination of things.   Summer is almost half over, the last few weeks we haven’t had anything major going on so I’ve had time to just be at home.   While I love being at home, I’ve finding it hard to get motivated to clean, do laundry, etc.   I feel like I’m just STUCK!    While I’ve really been getting into God’s word, it feels like the enemy is really trying to attack and usually the way he is sucessful is to do it through my depression and anxiety.

So today, I’m praying and letting my request be made known to God and I’m thanking him that he is going to answer my request.   I can feel the anxiety releasing as I type this.   Praise God!

 Yep, it’s a ramp for his skateboard.   I must say it’s pretty good, I don’t know how structually sound it is and I really don’t want him going off of it.   I remember my brother building things like this when he was Ben’s age.  I guess the saying “boys will be boys” is sometimes true!

In 34 days my heart will walk out of our house and into the world.   No longer will I be in exclusive control over who he comes into contact with and no longer will I be able to protect him from the hurts that can occur in life.   He’s more than ready to go, he actually has been asking when he gets to go for the last 6 months.    So I have 34 days to prepare myself and to stand on the promise that God loves my son more than I ever could and that He will be with Ben when I can’t.   I have 34 days to pour my heart out to the Lord, because after all He knows what it’s like to send His son into the world.
