Twenty Nine Years.
He's been faithful to me since 1980 and I don't see that changing any time soon. I had a great birthday... thanks to all you well-wishers out there. You should have seen me run like mad to the computer every time I heard the inbox ding.
I am looking forward to the year ahead. Yesterday morning, as I was watching out the window while the fog was dissipating and the sprinkles were beginning, I was moved to tears thinking about my past year. Morning by morning, new mercies I have seen.
I have overcome tears, sadness, bitterness, anger, and anxiety. And I have never been more thankful for all He has provided. He has pardoned my sins, granted me an everlasting peace, cheered me with His enduring presence, and given me a bright hope for tomorrow. And I never could have done it alone.
We stayed home last night to celebrate. I can't believe that I am at that stage. Home never sounded so good as it did yesterday. As we sat down to supper, Drew prayed, and he thanked God for letting his mom have another birthday. And that was my gift.
That, and a new house phone. I never knew that fresh batteries could last so long.

What a beautiful testimony. I will forever look differently at the scares I have tried to hide :"they only show that(we) has been healed"
scars...
just another sign I am human
