September 2007 was quite the month for me. Here are the highlights:
The most important date of this month was no doubt the 10th. As you know that was the date God brought Selah into the world. Being a mommy is a role, a title, and a responsibility that truly sobers me. Being a mommy can be overwhelming at times but it teaches me to be dependent upon the Lord. It also reminds me that I too am still a child…learning, growing, and desiring to be “grown up” spiritually.
On Saturday, the 15th, I received word that my college professor, advisor, mentor, friend and sister in Christ had gone to be with the Lord. I was filled with so much emotion. Melodie was a young 54 yr. old mother whose body had been ravaged with cancer. But her heart, mind and soul were ravaged with her love for God. She was a witness to His glory to the very end. Thank you Melodie.
A celebration for my twentieth high school reunion took place on the 21st in Sacramento, CA. Obviously, I wasn’t able to attend but it did not keep me from walking down memory lane. The popular band was U2; George Michael and Whitney Houston were atop the charts, and a great movie, Dirty Dancing, was one of the most popular. Twenty years ago I was a very self-centered seventeen-year-old girl who desired to be elevated to fame. Thank you Lord that you have been doing a work in me.
Then came the 28th --- my thirty-eighth birthday! This isn’t necessarily a milestone birthday like the sixteenth or fortieth but it was one in which I was able to celebrate the fact that I am learning, growing, and becoming more “grown up” spiritually.

Hey Keri,
It sounds like you've had a good, reflective month. Thanks for sharing :) I too was sad to hear about Melodie... I didn't know you knew her so well. I just had one class with her but she was very kind.
It sounds like Selah is a good eater :) Take care. We will be up to visit soon. Your bows are on the way.

Sounds like a good month. You have a very beautiful baby, and a very cute toddler. God is good.
My question is this, did Kevin end up going to the DG conference?

Hello, Mark, I didn't get a chance to go to the DG Conference. Actually, I was at a conference in the Chicago area (Straight Up Conference), and had the chance to see Dr. Mohler for the first time. He did a great job exhorting pastors to teach their congregations Biblical theology.
Thanks, Mark, great to hear from you!
Cool. I went to the DG conference 2 months after Hope was born. It was hard to be away from them for 3 days.
