I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!! I did. :-) We didn't really do anything; it was just a good day. I made a paper rose for my parents with a poem that I wrote rolled up in it - at least, it was supposed to look like a paper rose. :-)
My mom and I picked up my glasses!!! I've had them for a few days now. They're really nice - I didn't know how nearsighted I was compared to 20/20 vision. I think Noah has, like, 20/15 vision. :-) He has GREAT vision, and also really, really good peripheral vision, too. My mom said that when he was a baby, he would just be sitting there, not really looking at you, but he would still be watching you out of the corner of his eyes. :-) Anyway, I'm still getting used to having the glasses on all the time. :) I took a picture of myself with them on to post on here, but it's not uploading. Ergh.

The way the glasses make my vision clearer makes me think of the way Christ makes our spiritual vision clearer. The leaves, the grass, the flowers, and the squirrels scampering up the tree trunks are all some things that are clearer in my sight. Before I really started seeking out God in my personal, daily life, I was just going through the motions. I was living in a blurred version of life, a mist of confusion, chaos and deception. In Christ, we are still learning and growing - our vision is becoming clearer everyday.
And even then, God sometimes just wants us to trust Him - we don't have to understand to obey. We live by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) We have to "trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). And then, do you remember the verse after that? "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
One more thing: I wanted to thank everyone for being so supporting and encouraging all the time. Hearing everyone's comments brightens the day for all of us! God bless!!
