Extraordinary Evening




I'm feeling a bit brain dead tonight--tired physically and mentally. Questions swirl in my head about where God is taking us spiritually and what the next step in our journey is. Most of all, I feel a deep sense that only heaven will bring clarity to all these muddles in my mind.
In any case, I'm just going to post a few things tonight--pictures from the past couple of days. All my profound thoughts will have to wait for another time to be written down. :)
Yesterday evening was a perfect spring Sunday evening, and Jeff and the boys had a great time playing outside--with frisbees, horseshoes, David's new birthday ball, Josiah's bicycle, sidewalk chalk, etc. One thing about Josiah's bike--it was really interesting to see how much better he's getting at riding it. Compared to how he did last summer, he has made some significant strides! For example, in our driveway, there is a slight incline leading up to our garage; and last year, Josiah couldn't peddle up it by himself. Last night, however, he was riding up it like a pro.
Another thing that happened recently that reminded me of how much he's growing is that, when he's standing outside on our patio, he can now easily open the door leading onto our porch. Just like with the bike, he couldn't do that last summer--wasn't tall enough to reach the handle or strong enough to push in the button to open the latch. But now, it's no problem at all for him. Our boy is growing up, and it's fun to watch!
