The days keep running together… I almost forgot today is Wednesday!
Good thing there’s no theme for this week’s “What’s the Word? Wednesday” Blog Hop, right?!
You know the drill: until next Tuesday, link up your own posts and comments, and check out ones left by everyone else!
So far, Ann and Jenn have been the main, regular contributors. Let’s give them a run for their money! I’d like to have at least ten posts linked up by the end of this run. Whadya say?
And now for the standard mumbo-jumbo…
What’s the Word? Wednesdays is a linky that allows other bloggers to share whatever is on their minds that they want to talk about. Think of it as a virtual coffee date with some great friends. What’s going on in your world? Tell us all about it!
A few things to remember:
- Each week’s linky is valid from Wednesday through the following Tuesday. So if you link a post today, you can still come back and link another post tomorrow!
- If you add a link, please put the badge on your post as well.
- Be sure to check out what others are posting, and even leave a few comments.
After all, a great coffee date is one where everyone gets to chat, dontcha think?
[Hey, do any of you techies out there know how to change my coding so the Badge-Grab Box doesn’t keeping sizing down under the Badge Pic? THANKS!]

June is my Exodus. I’m making it so. Months ago during prayer, I felt God telling me to hold on until June. Things will get better in June.
The last year, the last month have been the proverbial one thing after another and now that it’s June, it’s time to put on a new hat and a new attitude… and get outta Dodge!
Change doesn’t have to be dramatic or traumatic. It can come simply by looking in a different direction. Seeing the shadows dance on the wall instead of hiding in the corner. Watching the leaves blow in the breeze instead of counting the ones already fallen to the ground. Making pies out of mud and reclaiming that childhood wonderment when the world wasn’t any larger than the backyard.
But even with change, some things stay the same. Like the love I have for my family. And the love we have from our Head of Household. Even in these very difficult times, God has been with us, loving us, caring for us, comforting us.
And He will continue to Lead us.
EXODUS

Stay where you are, here with me
Leave the dirt behind
Don’t you know who I am?
I am the God of your Fathers,
I am the God of You.
I know your troubles, I’ve seen your pain
But your destiny is greater
I am bringing you to a better place
Just put your trust in me
I’ve been with you so far, so far
Will I not stay until the end?
I am the God of your Future
I am the God of You.
I am the Wonderful Everything
I send my angels before
Leave behind what is behind
Look on to me ahead
Don’t you know who you are?
I have chosen you, My people
Let me be the God of you.
I want to be the God of you.
I am the God of you.

Yup. That’s my girl.
My tiny baby.
The one I would die for.
The one I sacrifice for.
The one I’m proud of.
People tell me what a great job I’ve done.
All I did was drive her to school.
She did the rest.
She studied.
She attended.
She applied.
She worked.
She worked hard.
She did it.
She graduated.
And I am in awe of who I now see when I look at her.
She is no longer my baby.
She is a young lady.
She is tough.
She endures.
She reaches, and she grasps, and she completes.
And she is amazing.
She is no longer my baby.
She is now my baby who just Graduated.
And I’m so very stinkin’ proud.
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!
