its winter....bbbrrrrr

She will remember your heart when men are fairytales and books are written by rabbits
Today I've had a chance to take a step back and reflect. It occurred to me that although reflection is good, too much introspection can be very depressing.

If I promise to do it, I'll do it.
If I promise to go, I'll be there.
If I promis to finish, I'll finish.
Keeping my word shows I care.

The previous poem was follwed by "Describe in at least five sentences a promis that you have kept that you are proud of." Aren't we teaching our students good character in the 4th grade?

Today I prayed with a group and it was the best part of my day. I love coming before the Father with my brothers and sisters. Such wisdom was spoken. And at the end we said the Lord's Prayer as a group. For the first time in a while, I actually prayed it instead of mindlessly reciting it.

Tomorrow we will be getting freezing rain so public school is delayed two hours. That means I get to sleep in until 7.

I will wait on You. Only You can fill me and give me what I need. I am worthy. I take my stand as Your daughter, a princess. No one loves me like You. And as if loving me wasn't enought, you like me too. You actually take delight in me! I will give you my all

its cold before the sun gets up

So many people to pray for these days. So many things going on in my mind. Thank you Sweet Savior that you know the utterances of my heart.

I'm waiting for my Tylenol PM to kick in so I thought I'd blog (its only been almost two months),

"Reality is like a fine wine...it will not appeal to children."

I'm surrounded by amazing people. I'm blessed, I really am. I'm sorry that I don't always show you the joy I have in my heart. I was trained to focus on the negative and its taking hard work to break out of that. But its worth it...life is so much better when we count our many blessings one by one.

Before the semester started I was scared about having to wake up so early. I even got that panicy feeling in the belly when I thought about it. But I'm kind of liking it. Not the getting out of bed part, but the being up early is a nice change. And I have to opportunity to get ready with Hope before we both head of to our schools. Thats nice.

I'm still not ready to be a grown woman. I perfer to be a young lady for just a little longer.
