They never cease to amaze me

There is not a day that goes by that God does not remind me of just how blessed I am to have what I have...but not only that, how I have been blessed with such amazing kids. As my oldest continues to blossom into this wonderful Godly young man, I am constantly reminded of just what a great kid he really is, and today was no exception. As I was driving to work this morning feeling sorry for myself because for the past month and a half I have seemed to fall of the wagon of getting to the gym and keeping up with my morning devotions that I tried to recommit to at the beginning of the new year...I was talking to the Lord about how I have been feeling distant from Him again and regretting the fact that I have not been able to keep up with these things. And then of course I got to work and continued about my day. This wonderful young man of mine called to advise me he was home from school as he always does and we exchanged our normal 3pm conversation. 5 minutes later he called me back to give me a word from the Lord that he was pretty certain was for me(that he received while listening to worship on his MP3 on his bus ride home). The word I am most certain was for me because it seemed to have to do with the things I had been discussing with God this morning and of course brought tears to my eyes. It was a wonderful reminder of how awesome God is and that even when I feel distant from Him He is as near as ever(I am pretty sure there is a song out there that talks about that too) and all that from a 14 year old who most times seems to be a better listener to God than his own parents. Not to mention he also called back to ask how to record some Jonas Bros. thing for his little sister. What a great kid. The little one has her moments as well. Just last week there was some sort of usual girl drama going on and when she was talking to her one friend on the phone about the other friend who was causing some issues little C was telling her friend they need to pray for the other one. My kids are are so great and I am truelly blessed. Lord willing they will continue to walk the path God has set before them.

Just some thoughts

Well here I am and I really should be getting to bed...but seems as how I get an evening on the computer w/o my hubby being around I thought I would take advantage of it. My young man had another match tonight...got pinned...not so good. Knowing full well this is his first year and he has so much to learn yet it is still hard to sit in the stands and watch it happening and not being able to help him and having to be patient that he will have his year or years...it is just not this year because he is in a season of learning. It still doesnt make it any easier...especially knowing his potential and having enough people tell us he has great potential.

Then there is my little miss...who lately has not been enjoying dance because of the misfortune of having some idiot girl w/an attitude problem in her class. Sorry people...even though we are christian and we are supposed to love everyone...there are some parents out there who are raising idiots...and we come across them every single day. It drives me insane. I dont expect certain behaviors to come from my children and therefore refuse to tolerate them in others. In most cases that makes me "the MOM" at most events....I am the one who will discipline your children when you are not. What can I say....too many parents out there would rather be their kids' friends instead of parents. AAARRRGGGGHHH. Well in the next couple of Mondays Miss Attitude will have her day of reckoning....but of course I will take it to the teacher first and see if it can be handled that way....if that doesnt work...well....I will just have to pray and see where the Lord leads.

It's been a while...

So I know it has been months since I have been on here so I figured it was about time to try to get back here on a regular basis. So since the new year has begun here are two goals that I have set for myself. 1) - Get back to being in the word on a regular basis using the Chronological bible I baught for one of the Adult Ed classes I was attemting to take....so far so good. With that I have also been trying to pray more on a daily basis...that I am still working on. 2) Get to the gym more than 4-5 times a week...I am aiming for 5-6....so far I have successfully made it 5x (last week) This week I am hoping for the 6. I decided to call these "goals" because resolutions always tend to fail....I am hoping that these goals I will continue to strive to succeed. I can tell you I am detemined....that's for sure.

So on top of all this my son is currently doing very well during his first year of wrestling for his school and has found his new favorite sport...He has stated matter of factly that he is a "wrestler who plays soccer, not a soccer player who wrestles". And as much is I was not thrilled with the idea of my son wrestling (having flash backs to high school where I cheered at my alma mater for wrestling for 6years and remembering how miserable most of those guys were always having to make weight), my hubby and I both have become his biggest fans and even with all the weightloss crap will still most likely NOT pull him from the team. (even though I said I would in the beginning). Caleigh is still loving dance with one minor problem....a girl names Danicka who is always pushing her and being nasty to her...have not dealt with this issue quite yet but plan to at one of her next few classes.

I also remember my rantings about my father from a previous post...and then Pastor Dave did a great sermon on loving people where they are at...so that is what I am TRYING to do. But it is hard.

So I think I will leave it at that for now since I am doing this from work and should probably get back to work. Later Y'all
