That Bites!

   I literally had a biting kind of day! Somewhat funny, but actually literally. One of my kiddos I work with tried to bite me, but thankfully missed :) I've been bit once before but it's really one of my least favorite things of my job. Other than the whole biting attempt my day was pretty good and I can't complain. Just trying to get everything in order this week so the boys and I can enjoy Spring Break :)

Another Week

   I'm excited for this next week. So much to do and I have a lot to accomplish but we'll get it done. And then I get to go to Pa and visit my family this coming week. My house needed some major work today after having off for the conference. It felt good to get so much done with the laundry and house work and then I even took a break and took the boys to the park for a little bit. So fun!

Personal Devotions

   So much good information today. The thing I took away from today is that it's about my personal relationship with the Lord and making an effort in my personal devotions and relationship with the Lord. So true and I think sometimes I make it to complicated.

Hope!

Last deployment my theme was grace. This deployment I've decided is hope! Just got back from night one of Extraordinary Women 2011, loved it! Enjoyed a fantastic concert by Casting Crown. Also, enjoyed hearing Angela Thomas speak about being weary and finding our provision in Christ. Such a powerful night. Loving the theme verse for the weekend Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint!"

Excited for the Weekend

   I have a great babysitter lined up for the weekend to spend time with the boys. My mother-in-law and I are going to the Extraordinary Women Conference to be refreshed in God's word. So excited to spend time with her, be immersed in the Word, and get some time away from home. I love my boys and I'm sure they will have fun with the activities they are going to do with the babysitter. I'm thankful for great friends and great babysitters. Awesome answers to my prayers!

Food for Thought

For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Isaiah 41:13
This verse stuck out from me from my devotional from a MOPs book that I'm reading currently. It's quite comforting to realize that God is there to help me no matter my circumstances. Also, Pastor Mike, talked about how Satan has no power over believers, except what we allow him to have. We are Sons and Daughters of Jesus and have his power to rebuke Satan. Such comforting thoughts. Maybe all this will allow me to sleep better at night. I sure hope so!

Therapy :)

   I must admit I gave myself some of the best therapy today. I took the day off work, got my hair done, and did some shopping (it was for the boys, but still fun!) You have to know yourself and I already was taking some time off to get my hair done so I figure why not throw in lunch with another military wife (who also does my hair) and some shopping. Not a bad day at all! Plus, I need some me time. So that's my thought for today. I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow. Jacob's got a slight fever so we'll see how he fairs through the evening. Got to love being a "single Mom".
