What a toasty day today was.  I tried a new eating plan today, but I'm going to have to try again because... well, let's just say I have to try again.  I wrote up our CM days for the year and started on my daughter's stuff for school.  I really am hopeful about this year.  It's my son's last.  We are going to stay focused and on fire for the Lord and learning.

Well, here it is.  It has happened.  My son is 18 years old!!!  And his first thought is where can he register to vote and when does he get to?  I love my children.  This week brought fun things.  We spent 2 1/2 hours picking free blueberries at a park.  We were treated to frozen yogurt by my daughter who won a gift card at our game tournament.  She even treated her dad today when they went out on a "date" together.  My husband had been away for a few days.  So, we were very happy to see him come home yesterday.  My son and I went for pizza on our own "date" while my daughter got to spend some time with her friend.  We went to a really fun park (even though it was raining) and a small museum with some friends.  And today, because my husband was home, we had my son's cake.  Except for my daughter, who knows how to say no!  And now I'm listening to a video my son made for us all before we go play games until midnight.  How I can ever doubt God's love when He has surrounded me with such wonderful people?  I'm so blessed.  Thank You, Lord Jesus.  Have a great week, everyone!

Today was not as restful as I would have liked it.  Our family tries to rest on Sundays to honor the Sabbath.  I know this sounds weird, but I have a hard time resting when I haven't chosen something to do.  I mean, how many movies, naps, books, can you do in a day?  I had little imagination today.  I had no purpose in my rest, and so, the day proves more stressful than restful.  Life, for me, needs a plan.  Nothing carved in stone that can't be altered if opportunities arise.  Just a basic plan, and then plans for rest, work and play.  That's how it works for me.  What about you?  Don't forget to trust God with your plans this week.  It is amazing what He can do.  Have a great week.
