Reminiscing at year's end . . .

This time of year is always a time of reflection for me. I was making 3D snowflakes with my girls today and my mind began to think about where my life was ten years ago.

1996

Not 40 years old but 30. Believe it or not, 30 was worse than 40.

2 girls not 3.

High powered (read: stress) job in a downtown highrise.

Job change to National homebuilder.

Hubby was working days.

NO DOG!

NO ETERNAL GOD!

This by no means an exhaustive list of the differences but just those listed are SOOOO different than today.

2006

40 and wouldn't trade it!

3 girls and wouldn't trade them!

Best job in the whole world and wouldn't trade it!

Hubby still has a job (for now)!

Dog is up for grabs! (just kidding, family would KILL me!)

A LIVING AND ETERNAL SAVIOR IN JESUS CHRIST!!!!!

The years in between then and now were rocky and I would repeat them only if Jesus asked me. I am so grateful for HIS grace and mercy.

I am always amazed at what HE does and who and what HE chooses to use to accomplish HIS will.
