July 16, 2008 - Today was my brother, Kyle's, 19th birthday! I remember the day he was born. My parents dropped us off at my grammy's house while they went to the hospital. Just 5 days before he was born, my mom went into false labor...so she was ready when Kyle came! He has always been an absolute joy to have in our family! I am so grateful for Kyle! He is a blessing. I love you Ky and am so excited for your mission!! Happy birthday!
Also, today was a hard day. My best friend, Lisa, whom I've been friends with javascript:void(0)for 25 years called today. Her little brother, Stephen, was diagnosed with testicular cancer last night. It is pretty serious, but we are hoping for the best! I must say, I'm so grateful for modern technology in which we are able to rely and help us. Stephen is in very capable hands.
For this 30 Days to 30, I spent my day crying and reflecting on life and all the obstacles that we have to go through. And felt very blessed. I'm grateful for the knowledge I have that God has a hand in all we do and blesses us.
