About Me

What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galations 2:19-20

1st Grade Blues

Today I received the supply list. School starting back seems to be unavoidable. Sure most parents are looking forward to sending their kids back but not me. I am sending her back as 1st grader and that I am not ready for. I feel like I am loosing my little sweet girl and I seriously mean loosing her! She was the sweetest girl from day 1. Everyone has raved on her maturity, kind heart, and awesome behavior since she was born. Well, I am not sure if it is an age thing or what but my little angel has started changing on me. We have actually had reports from the school of direct disobedience, she also took candy when she was not supposed to, and she is lying about all of it. Is it age? Is it a girl thing? This parenting thing is rather new and I do not have much experience with this. Yes, this is me venting out my frustration. My heart has hurt for the past few weeks seeing her this way. Maybe it is her way of acting out b/c she is begging for attention. It is hard with her having to be in a summer program and our schedules have not changed. I enjoy working (I truly do) but question its affect on my children. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to just quit. Maybe a few days vacation and plan some fun things to do with my girls will cheer us all up?
