This year.... I want to love God more, love my husband more, love my kids more, love myself more and others too! A lofty goal indeed. Need to remember that the Holy Spirit is what I need... I cannot do on my own. So easy to forget.
Jesse leaves for Bangladesh in a couple weeks - little scared at that prospect. Him so far away, me on my own with two little ones. I know it's the right thing the right time, so I am confident things will be okay, it's just going to be a loooong two weeks! I can do all things through the Christ who gives me strength!
The girls...
beautiful.
Sadie can drive me nuts with her incessant talking, but I need to remember to encourage her. To ask questions, to listen carefully to what she has to say. I don't want her ever to feel that she has nothing worthwhile to offer. I need to be careful of how I speak to her about her talking. She just got home today from being with Grandma & Grandpa in Niagara Falls - had a great time at Seussical etc... She is so grown up. I kept looking at her today hardly believing she's going to be 5 in a couple weeks. Makes me teary eyed to think of all the wasted opportunities. God's grace.
Lucy is a little monkey - climbing on everything! I think its funny how both Jesse and I are surprised when Lucy just goes to sleep when we put her in her crib. That's how its supposed to work. Funny.
We went to visit Sue & Eric (Max & Molly are their dogs) in the circle yesterday. Had a great time - Sadie danced for Eric for 1/2 an hour - a captive audience. She really broke out of her shyness. There is such a grace about her. Lucy just ran laps around their living room, feeding the dogs cheerios as she went. need to keep up this relationship - I think it really blesses Sue especially.
Anyhow - good night, batteries are about to die :)
