All things New...


Tomorrow the kids will start back to school, and I will be back into my weekday routine. I am looking forward to getting the kids dressed and ready to go. I'm a bit nervous about who Chloe's new teacher will be. She thinks she is starting first grade now, I keep telling her that she will just have a new teacher for a few weeks. Her teacher just had her baby, so it will be six weeks before she returns. I am also going to have to make a run to the DG or the DT to buy some party supplies. I am hosting a party for the boys in my Kids Club at church Wednesday night. I am proud of the boys winning. Usually the girls win when we do contest, so it's nice that the boys won overall. They raised over $60 for missions. We will have a BGMC theme party. So I will have all things yellow and orange. I have one mom helping me bake cupcakes and another mom is going to decorate, so I just need to pick up a few yellow or orange foods to add to the party.

I started the Joyce Meyer devotional on my bible app for my Kindle. I enjoy it. It's short for me, but it's at least a nugget of wisdom. Today was about temptation- how fitting. I love the verse that she used- 1 Corinthians 10:13.... he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. To me that speaks volumes. I love that. Yes the Lord expects us to turn away from temptation- but he never asked us to do that alone~ He will make a way for us! That is exciting news! We have to call on Jesus for the help though- yes he knows our needs, but we are a free will spirit. We can choose if we want help from the Lord or not. Though some times he will just intervene without our permission (like when he raised people from dead!) I'm encouraged tonight.

I'm also excited that when I wear my tennis shoes my foot doesn't bother me so bad! I have a heel spur and standing on my feet is misery after 1 pm. I usually walk on my tiptoe or with a limp. Today I wore my tennis shoes (not my favorite fashion statement) but wow it made a huge difference on how I felt! When your feet hurt, everything is miserable. So if you see me sporting my tennis shoes- don't hate- just know that I'm trying to keep from hurting! Comfort over beauty- yes I like that motto.

Well the kids are in bed, and I feel like watching a little TV. I have a ton of stuff on the DVR to watch, but I'm sure I will crash soon! So maybe a show or two can be squeezed in! Goodnight all! I hope your tomorrow is amazing!
