Weekend Review

It all started on Friday- I received 3 children from my sister and her husband so they could spend time together on their 10th anniversary- weekend-
I wanted to help them out- they have been through alot in the 10 years they have been married and they needed time to themselves - so I took on the task of 4 kids- and let me just say it was not too bad not bad at all- Marcus was very well behaved- proud of him- just minor kid issues and I did not have to use duct tape or bailing twine- so we were good to go

How many of you know you can entertain children by taking your car to the car wash- love it

We went to the night parade with the Garlands- had a good time and got lots of beads - the kids were well behaved there as well-

They got up the next morning for church with no issues of course I told them I want no whining in the AM.

Service was good- they were good- all was good

Lori and Stacy picked them up about 2 ish- Ainsley and Marcus were snoozing and the rest of us were watchiing some TV

They left and Marcus and I went to the superbowl party at church - we left early after a meltdown- we had planned to leave earlier- but things went south- he came home and crashed.
Saints won- congratulations

True Friends

I received this from a friend of mine and love it - so I am sharing with all of you-

1. When you are sad, I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!

2. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile, I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you're scared, we will high tail it out of here.

5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

6. When you are confused, I will use little words.

7. When you are sick, Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.....

8. When you fall, I'll pick you up and dust you off-- After I laugh my rear off!!

9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end.

'Why?' you may ask; -- because you are my FRIEND! *********************** Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only YOU can feel the true warmth

Worn out

Oh I am physically worn out- why is it when God is doing amazing things the bottom drops out with Marucs' behavior- The last 2 days his behavior has plummited down the tubes- thankfull last night Mr Tom and Miss Candy were there.
Today oh my word- Target was not a good place- nothing like having 100s of eyes staring at you as you drag your son out of the store and then proceed to wrestle on the ground with him- I contacted Tom and Cathy and was able to drag him to the car long enough to get him in there-

Thanks for checking on me Tom ad offering to come by-if needed-
He has not been this ugly in a while- and the problem is he is getting stronger- ugh

Worn out -that is what I am-

Walking and Running

Last night I went walking with Marcus- he was so funny- he was like can I run- knock yourself out kid- well he actually did really well- he ran 2 laps without stopping this is an accomplisment cause last year at this time he could barely run 1 lap of the track- so proud and he was just beaming- In all he ended up running 2 miles and me I walked about a mile and a half.

I am so glad it is Friday- this weekend is going to be amazing -
If you are in the Tampa Bay area- Come to the most exciting church- It is launching on Sunday- http://www.celebrationchurchtampa.com/index.html

Goodbye

Well we had our last service at Northside last night and - I was ok- well it was bittersweet cause I know God has big plans for Celebration and it is going to be amazing

Yet so much has happened at Northside - God placed in my heart to adopt- I had Marcus dedicated there- God has changed me- Able to meet some of the best people in the world yes world- Marcus was baptized there- God changed me-gave me new hope a new vision a new dream-

So thank you Northside for all you have given-

Now.... in 4 days Celebration- Hello to new changes- new dreams- new souls-

God is amazing

A friend of mine had it on her post ( Cathys )today on facebook. So i thought about it

And He is- today Marcus got in trouble at childcare- for those of you who read this is a common occurence. Like every 3 months- well we are pretty much out of options in the natural eye but I serve a supernatural God and He has it all under control. Normally I would be flipping out and all but I can not- why cause God knows my every need and will supply it-

and for those of you reading this and know me have probably thought what in the world has happened to this person who flipped out about everything with Marcus- well I am growing and learning and realizing a lot of things. And all because I am being obedient to God - listening to Him in the quietness- lettin gme know it is ok- you are going to make it you are thriving and will continue to thrive- hold on to what I have promised you pursue what I place in your heart-

God is AMAZING

Word for this year- FLOURISH

To grow well or luxuriantly; thrive: To do or fare well; prosper: To be in a period of highest productivity, excellence, or influence:

Last year my word was persevere- which means to be persistent - survive

Well this year I do not want to survive I want to thrive - I want God to use me more then ever - I want to have a great influence on others. I WANT TO FLOURISH
