Today is Evie's 5th birthday.
Last year I told you the detailed story of her life (click on story to read).
Today I want to tell you what has happened since January 19, 2007.
Before Evie was born, my relationship with Christ was ordinary. My best description would be
Comfortable
Complacent
Consistent
Externally I had a great: marriage, job, husband and social group. As long as circumstances didn't rock the boat too much, I didn't have to give up too much and I knew what to expect, I trusted God. This system seemed to work well.

Different Relationship, Same God
Before Evie was born, my relationship with Christ was ordinary. My best description would be
Comfortable
Complacent
Consistent
Externally I had a great: marriage, job, husband and social group. As long as circumstances didn't rock the boat too much, I didn't have to give up too much and I knew what to expect, I trusted God. This system seemed to work well.
On January 19, 2007, my system failed. God didn't fail, my system did.
I strongly believe that through the power of prayer from a lot of people, Wes and I immediately turned to God after Evie died. Perhaps He used the solid foundation of church Wes and I had been blessed with all of our lives or perhaps the realization of temporary things of this world, but we turned to God.
God changed my system.
I ache when I'm not involved in a bible study
I run every morning so I can have uninterupted prayer
I am reading Leviticus by myself
I love answering Colt's many questions on God
I smile when someone asks about my precious Evie. Because I know without her life I don't know where I would be.
