Birthdays

On March 17th I turned 33 years old, this is crazy to me. I cannot believe how quickly time has passed. I am a mom with three children. I have been married to my husband for over 10 years and been in the teaching profession for 8. How did life speed by so quickly? Growing up if you asked me where I would be at 33, I could never have imagined the life I have. Teaching, a hubby and kids would definitely been in my mind, but all the other bumps and curves would not have come up in my wildest dreams. Just goes to show you that God has the plan and all you can do is live and follow HIS plan. Tonight I am missing Rob and Luke as Luke is in the hospital, yet again. I honestly feel I have aged 10 years since hitting that 30 mark and having Luke. But I am strangely at peace with my life. I hit a breaking point today and had a good cry, then I saw a facebook update that encouraged me. This brings me back to how blessed I really am. Luke is recovering and should be home in a few days and despite the exhaustion Rob and I are used to the routine. We have soooooooo many people that lift us up and encourage us daily. I never would have dreamed at 33 I would know Loma Linda inside and out, I also never could have dreamed up the incredible people that surround me. So for those that pray and encourage me daily, thank you!! I pray that 33 will be a less stressful year, although not starting out great since Luke was hospitalized the day after my birthday :). But, mostly I pray God continues to give me peace with the life HE has given me. I can honestly say LIFE IS NEVER BORING!!!!!!
