I Ponder as I Ponder out under the sky..

Well.. it's 1:58 AM on Saturday morning. And here I am. (Kristy, your nagging has paid off!) :)

Sarah is spending the night with Pastor Mackey's daughter, Bethany and going to "Worlds of Fun" tomorrow with their youth group. I don't like it one bit, either *grumble grumble* Because I can't be with her to watch over her. It's amazing how protective we are. Maybe I'm just "OVER" protective because she is my only one? Somehow I doubt that. I think if I had 5 kids I'd STILL be over-protective of every one of 'em. That's just "in my genes" I suppose.

So, the house is quiet (and has been since 2:00 PM when she left) and I don't like it one bit! *sigh* I miss my baby when she's not around.

She will be staying a week with her Auntie Kristy in July, but that's alright because I know Kristy would take care of her just like I would! I will still miss her, but I won't be "as concerned."

I suppose with her going to "World's of Fun" where I can't visibly SEE her and make sure she isn't wandering off, etc, that's what has me spooked.

Okay... I'll not "ponder" that right now...

Here is a picture of when we are on vacation in May. I caught a nice little fishy. :)

Here is Sarah and her Daddy

Here is my 20th anniversary present from hubby :)

Okay Kristy-Poo don't say I didn't "update" beause I DID! hehe

So... now I'm just waiting until my Sarah-poo is back home on Sunday! (she is going to church with Bethany Mackey on Sunday. Bible Baptist Church in Bethany, Mo. Pastor Mackey came from Pastor Reagan's church in Cameron, who came from Gary Williams church in St. Joseph. So they are a very good church and we fellowship with them frequently.

Now.. back to my "ponder"... When will we NOT worry about kids? Probably never! I think of my Daddy and Mama and how they worry about us kids all the time. I can't imagine having more than one to "worry" about.

Yes... I know... worry is a "SIN"... so let's use a different word, shall we? "Concern" :) I know she is in God's Hands... but it's in my humaness to worry about my child. To be quite honest, I sincerely question a parent who DOESN'T act concerned about their child. (i.e. how they are, what they are doing, where they are frequenting, etc)

Alright... I'm tired now. But at least I got my "ponder" in before Kristy came after my hide! hehe
