Well Yesterday was an early morning for Avery & I. I had praise team rehearsal at 8am, so we had to get up a little before 7am... It was a long night for me, I went to bed early... I just couldn't sleep real well... Anyways it felt great to sing for the Lord!!! I know I can sing anywhere to the Lord but there is something about singing for Him on praise team up on the stage... Part of it I think is because I am using my talent of singing for His Kingdom!!!! I just love mountain experiences and when I am up there singing to the Lord, it is like I am on a mountain singing praise to my Heavenly Father!!! Those are experiences that I cherish... It's the little things that mean the most in my opinion... What do you think?
So thanks to a good friend we got there for practice and had a great one! After that Avery went to his Sunday school class and I didn't have a class to go to so I fellow shipped with my friends that didn't have a class to go to either... It was a great time! I got to catch up with some friends about how their summer is going and how their 4th of July went... I miss my weekday groups that are taking the summer off and then in the fall I will be going to school so I am not sure if I will be able to continue my weekday groups. It was nice coming home having lunch and just relaxing... Avery and I watched Narnia 1 & 2, our favorite series.... We had a lovely evening... Avery enjoys brushing his teeth with his new toothpaste, so brushing our teeth last night was real easy and so was transition time! I got to talk with my mom for awhile last night, I was able to read my devotionals, my Bible and do some prayers before I went to bed...
Today has been quite a day, I haven't gotten much done today because I haven't felt real well today... I did have an appointment today but I had to reschedule it due to not feeling well... Avery has a counseling appointment so I am praying I feel better by then... Avery has had a real good day today! Sure he's had a couple of episodes and a couple of timeouts but he is learning that he has a choice and his choices have outcomes... Some good and some bad... He is learning that when he makes a bad choice that there is a consequence and that mom will do what she says... He's also learning that for the right choices he makes there are privileges and praises. For example when he decides to say positive words to his mom he can watch a dvd or vhs, if he does something that I ask him to do I give him a high five and say thank you... He is learning that he likes the praises, encouragements, and privileges, and he likes feeling good about himself for doing the right thing...
Being a single married parent is a big job and sometimes I feel like I am in over my head, but with Jesus I know He will help me... It seems that now he is turning 5 years old everything is coming together... The things I prayed that he didn't hear or pay attention to, well he did and so now I get all kinds of questions about it all and when I tell him no for good reason he tries to persuade me almost to the point where he is trying to use control... Not good but with God's help everything that needs to be fixed will be fixed by God and He will get all the glory and praise!!! There are times when I feel overwhelmed, discouraged, upset, hurt, and any other emotion that you can think of from all the changes that have taken place... But when I feel like any of those feelings I go to Jesus and read His word and I pray and sometimes I message or call a friend... Jesus never said this life would be easy but He did say "Take heart for I have overcome the world." So I have the over comer of this world on my side and He is carrying me & Avery through this!!!! So know that if you are going through a difficult time and you feel you have no one to turn to reach out to Jesus and He'll reach out to you my friend! He'll get you through anything!!!! I am a testimony to that, He's moved mountains for my family and He can do the same for you and your family if only you will just TRUST Him!!!!
Well that's it for today, have a great night, sweet dreams and God bless you & yours!!!!
