Well, I'm 31 today. I actually kept forgetting my birthday this year. I think it's because last year I fretted so much that this year I did the complete opposite. Let me tell you, either way it still happens!

I woke up a little after 2 o'clock this morning to the sound of thunder. It started off in the distance but didn't take long before it seemed like lightning and thunder were striking down in my backyard. A flash of white would burst and a blink of an eye later came the boom of thunder. Car alarms went off and I could hear neighbors saying, "Wow!" I had my window open and laid in bed with this grin of awe and wonder on my face. It was a beautiful storm! I could even hear the rain start off in the distance and get louder and louder until it fell right over my house. The cool breeze drafted in and I could hear God telling me, "This year I will be in your life like this storm. Loud, big, bright, powerful and it's going to shake everything around you." WOW! What a way to bring in a new year!!!

My collection of crayon giraffes from my Refuge girls is complete. I got Lori's today. I think I'm going to frame them...they make me so happy:
