"No worry, Mommy"

As all parents who think no other child can say things as cute as their own, we have been trying to write down all of the mispronunciations, silly songs, and precious sentences of our children.

Recently, I was laying Andrew (2) down in his portable crib, which I had raised by placing a pillow under his mattress to alleviate some of the breathing problems during a common cold. I said, "Try to keep your head on the pillow, Andrew, so you can sleep better." This came after several sleepless nights from cleaning out his nose and giving him cough syrup. He looked up at me and said, "No worry, Mommy, Good night."

That sweet little statement which made me laugh, also brought tears to my eyes later on in the week as I realized how often I respond to the circumstances in my life with worry and fear instead of steady trust.

One of those walks in my journey of faith has been these past few weeks. Please pray for my family (Aimee) as we are concerned about my younger brother. I am not yet at liberty to say more, but please pray that he gets to the point quickly where he must depend on God completely. Pray for God's mercy and protection over his life. His name is Tim, which means "God's honor," or "honoring God."

Good night to all!
