Today

Today is the day!

I hope to get loads of laundry done [note pun] and other "household chores" since John will be gone for much of the day. Today is the day John takes his motorcycle road test! I would have preferred to have more practice, but he has picked it up quite quickly (even though it is a very top-heavy bike) and has become a skilled rider. Today is also the day we are supposed to have a mix of rain and snow... not exactly ideal riding conditions! So I am praying and staying busy with things and learning to not worry about him riding over 2 hours in the elements. John is very cautious and makes wise decisions. If the weather gets really bad, I will take his large-as-a-barge truck out to pick him up (which will be an adventure all in itself). [grin]

It's kind of funny that I never used to worry. I was always the one out there: walking around Thailand by myself, kissing snakes, visiting people living on the streets, etc. Now I am getting a taste of what it is like to be the one left behind while my parents travel to another country, my sister lives in potential danger, and my husband becomes a daring rider! Please don't misread that as complaint because I am happy for them to go and do, it is just a whole new feeling to be on this side of things. Ha, and I have yet to experience what it is like to be a mom and watch her children do stuff! This is all very good preparation! [big smile]

Be anxious for nothing
but in everything
by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known to God.
Phil 4:6
