My Name is I AM

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking to me:
"My name is I AM"
He paused
I waited. He continued,
"When you live in the past
with its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future,
With its problems and fears,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BEE.
When you live in this moment
it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM."

He crawls!!!

In January Matt had the splints removed from his thumbs which meant he could once again start using his hands in his quest to crawl. However it took him over a week to build up confidence to put weight on his hands again.

Once he realised that his hands were truly pain free he has been slowly growing in boldness in his crawling. First he was only crawling a few steps. Now he happily explores a whole room (keeping us on our toes) and he has even started pulling himself up into standing position. He loves moving around. He looks so pleased with himself and his new found independence.
