Its been a long while since I have felt this good- we are starting to climb the mountain or hill now- started to come out of the valley and work daily on hill climbing-
Before I go on- I am not saying we are going to have all hilltop days but more are nicer then the valley days-
The last 3 days have been good- very good- minor incidences that were resolved relatively quickly.
I have been tired just cause I think a lot and make sure he is okay and sleeping and not into anything he should not be. but I will learn to do better - I need to or else I will be a mess.
Anyway- God is so good- Sunday School was a time to reflect on the single parenting class I have been leading- It has been good very good- It is amazing to see that as as a single parent you are not the only one going through similar things that married couples have no clue ( no offense there my friends) We found that being consistent is a hard thing to do- but necessary- why is it hard cause we get tired and can not say go talk to your mom or dad. I have learned that it is difficult when dad or mom is semi in the picture and how difficult it can be- we went way over time today which shows me this is so needed for us.
We discussed how as single parents we should ask when we need it - it is okay to ask for help ( I know this more now then ever)
Sometimes help could just mean that you are listening when I am emailing or chatting on line or calling- a lot of time for me that helps- and sometimes watching Marcus just for a few hours helps. When others correct him it is great and I can relax knowing others are around to say - hey there stop it
God spoke to me today regarding all that we have been through- reminding me it is a process - and still take each day one at a time- God is going to use this process in a mighty way- I know it I feel it in my heart. Keep reading my blog cause I am going to bring you from a journey of the summer through now - I need to show you what we have been through to show you where we are going- He is a mighty God-
I woke up with a smile this morning and a good feeling- it was nice- I am thankful
