What all has happened in the last two years? Not so much new has been going on. I've continued my work as a secretary at my alma mater. I've continued working with Children's Ministry at my church.
What has been different is my daughter. She is now a beautiful twelve year old 6th grader. She plays bass drum in band and her school's indoor drumline. She has also developed an interest in writing. Currently, she is working on what I suppose could be called Harry Potter fan fiction.
It occurred to me a couple weeks ago that I am already two-thirds of the way through having my daughter at home with me before she is old enough to go off to college. That hardly seems possible. One thing is for certain, parenting her in this stage of her life most definitely presents unique challenges. Prayers are much appreciated.
As I launch into 2018, there is one big thing that I will be facing. I will he undergoing reconstructive hand surgery on both my hands. Hopefully, one surgery can be done just before spring break and the next in the summer. As rheumatoid arthritis has done more and more damage to my hands, I have come to realize that something needs to be done to regain lost function. Prospects are optimistic. As I look to this major hurdle, I am both excited and, of course, a little bit nervous.Once again, I appreciate your prayers.
Whatever you are facing in 2018, both the known and the not-yet-known, I pray that you will stay close to our Heavenly Father and walk with Him through it all.
May you have a blessed year in 2018!
