Well, it's been a great weekend at our house. We just celebrated Natalia's 2nd BDay yesterday evening with great friends & family. Thankyou guys for making the evening special:)
Why was it a ground breaking you ask? Well for starters, my little girl is getting big soooo fast, & we're proud of her. Today she is in our church daycare(learning center). So that means at this very moment as I sit here & type, she is right under me, making new friends & being molded & shaped by people other than her family. Scary thought huh? It's been a mild irritation in my heart! What if's have been plaguing my sleep. There's so much destiny & future ahead of this little girl, but she has an enemy that is dead set on destroying that. Yikes! Thank God that he's our defender, our strong tower, our refuge. Who would have thought this little 2 year old would challenge the very core of my faith in my God in such a way that I trust him through the bumps & bruises, the hurst & pains, the dissappointments & rejection that Natalia is undoubtedly going to face. OMG! the weakness in my heart. The division in my mind that part of me wants her to experience these things, & the other part wants to shield her. But I've seen sheltered children & they are so fragile in life. I look back on my life & realize I wouldn't be who I am without those negatives shaping & molding me to be stronger. Now past those experiences I am thankful for them. HA! What irony. I think I am going to have a harder time than she will when she is kissed with life's negatives. Once again my saviour is growing me & teaching me through this little one. Amazing. Yeah I'm a young parent for my older seasoned readers. Let me vent! lol
On a small footnote, there was a little surprise at the end of Tally's party, a couple of gifts for me since I am going to be at the Women's Conference on my Bday(Nov 1st). I got my 160G iPod!!! My wife did good. I suspected it though just not then. She was asking technical questions leading up to the weekend about stuff she could really care less other than the color! So I can finally fit all my music & then some, plus pic & fav clips of the office & 24, that my old 4th Gen iPod couldn't do or fit! So in a sense Jen just got herself a new to her iPod! lol.
Well that whole "pitch a tent" thing on the church front yard, I was serious, so I better get out there. Light the Night.... yay.
I'm out
