Great Expectations for 2010

this little guy knows he can give ya some good lovin'. Noah is 14 months old now and is into everything. its almost unbearable for me to be so far away from terrie and noah.  but in God's time things come together and i'm lookin' forward for us to be together. i've had my share of trials and mountains but God is faithful and has always loved me. even when we fail to follow Him, His love never diminishes. There's nothing like walking with God. We've been friends for a long time and i'm glad to know He still loves me. His forgiveness is always as close as our prayer... but it takes a little longer for us to forgive ourselves and let ourselves be happy again.
our adversary has kept me down for quite some time now but i've been thinkin' about the eagle story and how that the eagle was not made to walk in the dark valley but he was created to fly high in the sky and make his nest high on the mountain side. i'm not sure what God will let me do but as the blind man once said, i was blind but now i see. i can't see the future but i can see God and that's enough for me. i'm just taking each day, one day at a time. i'm not happy with my circumstances but i am happy knowing that God is guiding me and keeping me in the palm of His hand. i also know that God protects the ones we love and His angels are keeping Terrie and Noah safe in alabama.
terrie was so happy to get to see wesley during the Christmas holiday. he attends college and is an excellent athlete. today is terrie's birthday and she turned 35.

we like playing chess and she has become an excellant chess player. somebody (wonder who) has taught her some pretty good chess moves and she's not afraid to use 'em. i miss sitting together on the couch and watching a good movie. when i went to visit for christmas, we managed to watch a couple of movies when noah was taking a his nap. when he is awake, it's playtime, wrestle time, watch what i can do time, and he's more fun to watch than any ole movie. we can never get enough of playing with him.
