Issues

I have issues, she has issues, he has issues.... that's not an excuse, who doesn't have issues? If none of us had issues, we'd be perfect. And since we know that ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, yeah I've got issues. There really wasn't a point to that, just one of those random things I told you about where I thought about it and decided I should post it to my blog.

Anyway, how was your day? Mine was eh. School in the morning, I taught about numbers. McDonalds, which is always a good time. Came home and just relaxed for a while. Praise Team practice tonight. It went pretty good. I usually get frustrated at praise team practice because I'm having to make sure my kids are behaving while we are practicing, and we almost always do songs I don't know, so I'm also trying to learn these songs. And someone in the group, who will remain nameless :), never sings the songs the same way! But today was a good practice. We talked about being thankful in every circumstance and not allowing circumstances, or issues, to move you. God puts us all in situations that make us uncomfortble or just plain mad/sad, but he does it for a reason. Whether to teach you something, to give you experience you will use later, to minister to someone, or just to leave with nothing and nowhere else to go but to Him. He's done that to me a few times... put me at rock bottom so I will get out of my own selfish mind and fall into Him. Its sad that we have to be at our weakest to allow Him to show us just how strong He is. But, we are human and sinful, and He still loves us.... amazing.

I am looking forward to tomorrow, I have nothing to do all day! I don't HAVE to be anywhere or get anything done until tomorrow night, and I get to go hang out with friends and celebrate a dear dear friend of mine's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUBS!!!! It is officially your b-day as I type this :)

Speaking of birthdays, I made Gracie's invitations tonight... they are SOOO cute! I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself! I am going to have such a blast planning and decorating this princess party. I am so beyond thankful for my two children, and I've decided that if God thinks I'm done, I'm ok with that.... even though I really want 4, I want what God wants for me. And I know how blessed I am to have the two I have. Every parent thinks their children are special and better than the rest, I know mine are :) haha. They are some pretty neat kids that keep me on my toes everyday. Like this morning when I came out of my room from getting ready and they had switched clothes! And, of course, both of them had their pants on backwards.... too cute!

Alright, I'm pretty sure that's all I have to say for tonight. Happy Birthday Aubrey, I love you and I can't believe everything we've been through! God really meant for us to be friends because we keep ending up together!

DAY 9: A picture of the person that has gotten you through the most.

I would put a picture of God, but we don't know what He looks like! I CAN'T WAIT to find out though!!

So I'll put the person God created for me to go through life with :) We have been through so STUFF! And we're still going strong!
