Isaac is 15!!

As I think about my Isaac being 15 years old I'm not sure which way to turn. Do I look back to the tiny baby that weighed only 3 lbs. 10 oz? Or do I try to look forward to what is ahead for the young man who is now taller than me, the one who has horizontal stretch marks across his back because he's trying to out grow his own skin!! Who's voice causes callers to ask why my husband is home during the day.

I love to think back to that little baby, he was my joy, my reason for living. As he grew older I was amazed by his talent, at the age of 2 he could throw a ball up and hit it like it was nothing! He was such a sweetheart!

But I have to say that my feelings for looking to the future, of what God has in store for my Isaac, are surpassing my love for the past. This young man who lives in my house is a blessing to all of us. As a big brother he is amazing. The love and care he shows for his brother and sister is so sincere, when he is away from them he misses them as much as they miss him! I call him my right-hand man. He is such a help to me, I can ask him to do just about anything and he will jump to it. And the sense of humor....he is so funny! He will tease me about some goofy thing I've said or done and I can't help but laugh...at him and myself!
Whether I look back or ahead, I know that the name I picked for him was correct, he is my "laughter" and "child of promise". God has great things in store for this son He has loaned me and I'm priveledged to watch the coming years unfold.

Is There an Award for This????

"The Most Pathetic Blog of 2007!"


I have got to be the worst blogger alive! I love to read blogs but never work on my own! I have ideas and thoughts of what I want my blog to be but they never make it to the blog! I think I have "bloggers envy", I read these wonderful blogs about home schooling, parenting, cooking, spiritual life, gardening, nature study or they are just plain funny and I think "I want my blog to be all these things!"Even their writting style, I'll think "I want to write like that!"


The good thing about my blog is that no one reads it! Or even knows I have a blog! This fact gives me time to figure out how to do everything before I tell anyone about it.....


So I think I will make more of an effort to "create" my blog and just let flow whatever is going on with me at the time. (Wow! That could be scarry!) It will be a little bit of all that I do....So enjoy the journey as I follow this path that God has placed me on.
