What to say…Not really sure…Not very exciting around here…I just came in from sitting on my front porch waiting for the oldest two to come home from bike riding…It was kinda like old days…No cell phones when to tell them to be home…They came home when the streetlights came on…They have been outside most of the day riding their bikes…It feel so good to see them spending time together and being outside in God’s beautiful world…Weather was perfect…Not to sunny or breezy…Just the right amount of everything…Thank You God for your beautiful world…
As, I was sitting on the front porch swinging in my swing, I was thinking about what to write about today…Nothing major popped into my head…My usual day of dishes, laundry, misc…chores, parenting, teaching, wife and mother are what consumed my day…I spent a lot of time just twiddling my thumbs…My house is not in dire messy condition and hasn’t been in a long time…The kids’ upstairs is even been staying cleaned…What else am I supposed to do with myself, I asked myself all day…Honestly, I was flat-out and completely bored…I haven’t felt this way in a long time…
Then I began to think about what kind of mood I am in…I am not depressed…I am not overwhelmed, stressed or exhausted…Yes, I am still fighting this cold/flu thingy but that is not a mood issue…I am not super excited nor happy…I am just…Well, simply “HERE”…Then it occurred to me…I am in a waiting period…Waiting on what God is going to reveal in our lives…Is he giving me a resting period for what is to come??? Or am I just in the waiting period to see how God is going to work in our lives?
There isn’t a lot to do around here when the house is clean and the kids are playing on their own…I am not one to sit and stare at the TV or even veg out all day on my computer…I wasn’t even in the mood to read a book…I just didn’t know what to do with myself…I paced my back yard several times and checked up on my hubby…He kept himself busy by replacing a door on the kids’ playhouse today…Freshly painted and installed with a new inside lock for their secret clubs…
I did get up out of bed early today…I had an early blood draw to check on my Thyroid levels…I should know something in about a week or so…Then my youngest had another appointment today with a speech teacher…He was having a speech assessment to see where we need to go with any speech therapy or what I need to continue to work on here at home…Poor baby, still having appointments and meetings…We are still waiting on some answers to confirm or deny any kind of diagnosis…
Because the oldest two were outside most of the day…My youngest though is just content just hanging out…So we did hang out and play video games together…He seems to really enjoy having the quietness and one on one time with me…He has been having some great days lately…He has been doing everything that has been asked of him and controlling his anger better…He is able to recognize it more and make better choices…Thank You God for this…
That is about all…Tomorrow I get to do it all over again…Maybe, I will have something more exciting to tell you…
Praise You God…Above all things, you are constantly lifting me up and bringing me closer to you…
Hosea 14:2 NIV says, Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to him: Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips
