Instead of that, I am in the Air Force learning something new, still awaiting the day when I can step onto blessed African soil. Don't get me wrong; I love my husband and boys, my friends and family, and the military, but I still dream of holding those African babies and witnessing God working in their lives. One day, I hope.
I haven't seen much in my life but here's a bit of what I have seen and/or experienced (not in order):
- Ronald Reagan's inauguration
- cassette tapes of 80's & 90's
- CD's
- PC that I had to program via a cassette tape and tape recorder plugged into my TV
- AOL that charged like a million dollars a minute
- LP's (brother's 100+ collection)
- 8 tracks
- Atari
- Nintendo
- Nintendo 64
- What PS & Xbox is out now...?
- Had a Pinto that was nice.
- Wished for a Probe.
- Drove across TX in the "backseat" of an EXP.
- Lord knows how many dogs...
- ...or even how many schools.
- Been to New Zealand, Australia, and deep in Mexico.
- Lived on both coasts of US and through 21 states (I think).
- Climbed mountains
- Swam in rivers
- Swam in safe lakes
- Swam in dirty water
- Been in Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean
- gigantic car phones become a tiny thing that hangs on your ear
- Helped 4 dogs give birth to wonderful puppies
- Took a puppy with spina bifada to the vet
- volunteered countless hours
- gave birth to 2 wonderful boys
- got married...still waiting for dream wedding and honeymoon
- enlisted in the military
- Have a great relationship with my God.
There are so many more things I could say but I know that each day and each year will only get better and better.
Thank you, Lord, for what you have blessed me with. I love my friends and family and sometimes take them for granted. Help me to be a blessing to them and to remember why they are in my life. You trusted me with their loyalty and love. You trusted me to do obey Your Word at this point in Your plan for Your people. Help me to exceed Your expectations, in Jesus' name...AMEN.
