why can less than 24 hours ago seem so long ago . . .

we had a date. it started early in the day with - 'find a babysitter, lets go out!' then it was the living room with a silly lined piece of paper. it was random, with incomplete sentences but it was understood. then dinner - i didn't even look at the menu. i knew exactly what i wanted. then shops & stores. even the very end as funky as it ended was alright.

and it was all not even 24 hours ago. today and tomorrow i'm flying solo. big, long work days for him means pretty much the same for me too. thats ok - mine don't start as early as his.

one of his first long sentences last night on the way home - ' jack no see moon out window.'  then after turning the corner - ' yeah dadee jack see moon out window!' it actually was quite a few words for him to put together all at once. and we understood it : )

this little dolly came to play last week. when the excitement of the little boys around her calmed down abit she enjoyed their toys - dump trucks, trains & firemen.

i ran today - yes funny. from the car to the front of the store. it was nesseccary, i had to hurry. and i thought 'i can still do this' : ) i think she didn't know what to think when i stopped. 33 weeks + running at a decent pace = uncomfortable-ness when you stop!

why did God cause moses' face to shine before the people? that question is still blank in my bible study book. its just made me think & think . . . i think it should have a obvious answer, but its still blank. the respectable, wiser lady next to me this week left hers blank too - that has just made me think all the more. that and beyond all the blue, purple & fine linen, the precious stones, the gold covering everything, the altars - God has absolute authority to demand how, where and when He is to be worshiped. am i doing it His way or my own??

God - for being so good to us!
