Marveling

Last night on the way home from church, I was marveling at what an awesome God we serve and how He is always there no matter what we go through. I have looked over the past year, the past six months, the past month and just marvel. Even looked at the past half hour I was at church, Marcus had a meltdown and we handled it together in a matter of minutes instead of many minutes. I did not need to call in the extra troops, that I know would come in an instant if needed. We worked together to make it through. I am telling you God is doing something in my boy's life and I am so excited about it. For so long we have dealt with a past, the past is being wiped away and we are pretty much dealing with just kid things.

God is working in me- I am trying my best to improve as a manager to see and work through things at work with His guidance, with His touch. Last night was a duh moment in service and it really had nothing to do with what PD was talking about and at the same time it did. I have not been speaking with God about work and just a simple thing PD said last night was take time to be quiet and listen to Him. So I made a list of what I needed to begin to pray about for work and every morning this will be prayed about until breakthrough happens. I believe it will happen sooner rather then later.

We had open house on Tuesday, Marcus is doing very well in school. He received a B on his math test . Which I am so proud of, he is in mainstream math. He leaves his classroom everyday and walks by himself with no other person going with him (this is new from last year) He is being more responsible at school. His behavior specialist even said we may work on mainstreaming him even more. He must have seen my look of anxiety on my face because he said we will take baby steps for you mom so you become adjusted. We laughed. Yes in the now almost 3 years of him being at Lake Myrtle we have come so far, from the many days of having outburst and being secured in timeout room , to him (Marcus) now putting himself in their when he needs to calm himself down. AMAZING - Marveling.

(Gayle - I tried my best- this one was for you and hopefully the sentence structure was better then normal- LOVE YOU)

Ooh, you are so sweet! I can empathize with the struggle you must have had trying to add -gasp- punctuation. It's probably comparable to that which I had writing in no caps and run-on-forever sentences. LOL God sees us through all of our struggles! Keep up the good work (smile) - Luv yu (now there's another exercise: write in "textspeak")
