Back at it

I have been really slack about my blogging, but I am going to get back at it.

So much has happened in the last few months. Maddie has started kindergarten, Brother moved into a new class at preschool, and Joel and I are just loving life.

School has been a great transition for Maddie. She loves it and wants so bad to read. We practice all the time and I believe it will be very soon. Her teacher is great and says she is a joy and ray of sunshine to have in the class. Of course I have a tendency to agree with her completely. On Sunday after Halloween she had to separate all her candy by brand, tallied it and then added it all up. Hopefully this isn't a sign of a compulsive behavior. Maybe she is going to love math. Maddie is such a tender hearted person. She just loves people so much. I really hope she is able to distinguish bad people from good. It is a fear of mine that someone is just going to squish the love right out of her heart by letting her down or hurting her feelings. She is just so good.

Brother is going through a little running stage. He runs every where and the faster he runs the more he laughs. He ran away from me at the grocery the other day and almost made it to the front door before I caught him. I may have to get a leash or learn to laso so I can catch him easier. He is such a loving little boy and makes me smile like his sister does. Every morning when I get him out of his room he just pats my back. Then he makes me laugh every morning because as soon as he wakes up he wants breakfast. No sitting around pondering what he wants. It is just high gear and feed me so I can keep going.



Last night at church our pastor spoke of trust in the Lord. One lady mentioned that when she became saved that when an issue came up she would call the sisters in the church or the pastors wife. One day no one answered and she said the Lord spoke to her and asked her who she was going to call now. Sometimes we look all around for help and support when all we have to do is call on the Lord and TRUST that his will be done. Very eye opening. We put trust in so many other people and things. When all we have to do is trust in the Lord. Amazing!!
