I can't believe that my baby girl just turned seven years old today!! She has come so far and is amazing!!! Happy Birthday ab!!! Mommy loves you so very much!!
We got to go to church today. We haven't been in MONTHS! It's super hard to pack us up and go places and the weekends are when we are wiped because we have been on the go like crazy through the week with appointments, my therapies, school, etc. But I was blessed to be there today. For those needing a church, especially if you have special needs in your home, Whosoever ministries in Fountain City is a fantastic church home. It starts at 2 p.m. on Sundays and 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. Now... back to where I was. Today, Denver (the pastor) was talking about final words and listening to people to get a better understanding of who they really are. It got me to really thinking! So many times, I wonder what people hear from me when they listen... then it made me think... our words are a powerful thing in our lives! Words can bring hope... words can dash hope! Words can bring joy but equally bring sorry. Words can build up or tear down... ...
I don't know about you, but my kids are really into frozen right now. I hear the songs over and over. I hear them quoting the movie and I have to admit, if the movie isn't turned on at least once a day, I fear something is INCREDIBLY wrong within my home! Today, I was feeling quite thoughtful! I get that way often and I usually don't voice my thoughts outside of the realms of my home as much as I'd like! I know... SHOCKING! I have lots more to say than I really say! My thoughts here lately have been jumbled with LOADS of emotions... I heard someone sharing the other day how special needs families... families living with chronic illness often begin to feel secluded. They see their friends pull back... for many reasons! Sometimes it's because they're overwhelmed, sometimes because they don't understand, sometimes because they can't deal with trying to work around all the "needs" you have to accommodate just to walk out of your door......
Last night, as I was tucking the kids into bed, I was feeling frazzled and burned out because the day had been long. The kids had been at each other, tempers were flairing between them and it just over all stunk. I took Sister's Bible and sat down to read to them. I read Psalm 1. Some of the verses are as follows: vs. 1 "blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the mockers." vs. 2 "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." vs. 3 "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." If you'll recall with me, I just posted a bit ago about being a seed. This has really opened my mind up to the fact that my life needs to be TOTALLY enveloped in Him and who HE is. When I read these Bible verses last night, it took me by surprise that ...
