934. indeed. God is here.

These are words I can sit with—words that will sustain me in the darkest moments. At times, I will struggle to believe them, and other moments they will be for me my surest salvation. All the while I know that God is with me.

My cry is one filled with faith, for I know the story of Jesus does not end in agony, but in glory.

60 years of life!

A very delayed post but also a very wanted to be documented post was my 60th birthday celebration.

This year I had great plans in how I wanted to celebrate but just physically not feeling quite myself I was grateful to have it be a somewhat quiet celebration and a complete surprise.

It began with a birthday hug from the golfer
Then a birthday lunch at Edinbrook with almost 6 balloons, representing 6 decades(1 did not make it in the building) from my 3rd daughter
Next dinner out to Pizza Luce' with my good friend Ginny and her husband

 

After dinner we were off to the Timberwolves game (it was military appreciation night so the golfer had sent away for surprise tickets. As a bonus we were able to sign the welcome home card for the MP257 that was at the game)

My final gift from the golfer. the kids and grand kids came a few days later .... it was a book!

And considering I am a book lover this was a wonderful gift but what made it wonderful is that it was written by the golfer, the kids and grand kids ... the title ....
