We'll Go With It

Gabby's new favorite saying is, "We'll go with it."

Isn't there a new movie coming out with that title?  I doubt she's thinking of movies when she says it...  It's more her way of saying even though there are things she doesn't want to do, and things she might not understand, she trusts she can go along anyway.

She was saying her prayers the other night and prayed, "...We trust you and we know your Son can bring us back alive again. We trust your plan and we're going to go with it."  

(I'm sure God breathed a sigh of relief.)

You might have figured out by now we celebrate a lot of birthdays around here.  

Of course there are the usual family birthdays...  We love those.

And there are other birthdays that we remember, and wish we could celebrate with people who aren't here anymore.  We've learned to observe those days anyway, honoring lives that have touched ours, even if we can't share the day.

We'll go with it.

A few weeks ago Gabby was having a hard time thinking about her sister's birthday.  She couldn't forget it, but remembering also meant remembering that somewhere in Nebraska her sister was turning a year older...without her.

So we made a cake.

Decorated a cake

Sang and blew out candles

And celebrated a life.

We'll go with it.

We don't always understand, but we'll go with it.
