Today, I am 36.
Today, I officially leave behind the "early thirties". Maybe some of you think I did that last year, but I round down, so 35 still seems young to me.
Last night's date night was amazing, and I am continually amazed at how blessed I am. Great food, but awesome company. I love that Andy loves date night as much as I do. And I love that my kids love it just as much because they get the super-sitters for an evening.
But yesterday, it rained all day. And it made getting out kind of a chore. Andy, forever the funny guy, said, "God is crying because you're turning 36." Very funny.
What I've learned lately is that I'm sure God cries over my choices sometimes. I'm sure He watches me, loving me extravagantly, and wanting me to choose Him. But even in those moments, He rejoices over me.
"The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
(Zeph. 3:17)

I've been studying about the maternal qualities of God lately. The things you described in this blog make me think of that. Even the verse- He rejoices over you! He takes delight in you!- All things a mother would do!!! You are SUCH a great mama, Amy. You completely inspire me. It is weird that we are getting older but you still seem like that same Amy to me. We all still seem young to me. I love you and hope your birthday is wonderful!
