Purpose

"The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;

your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.

Do not forsake the work of your hands."

Psalm 138:8

Saw this today and thought it fit where I am right now.

Trusting that God will fulfill HIS purpose for me.

I am also accepting that He won't be giving me a teleprompter so I can see what is next for me.

Strange week so far with lots of ups and downs, but overall I feel I am on the plus side.

Trusting in His purpose and timing.

Sometimes they do listen

Every race day before my boys get on their bikes (or sometimes while they are on the line for practice) I say a prayer with them. It usually goes like this...

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Please keep Davis and Matt safe on their bikes and don't let them get hurt, let them have fun, know how proud their mommy and daddy are of them and let them kick ass (which we changed to "bootie" for Matt since we have some issues with bad words).

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

I didn't really know if it meant much to them, but I have had Davis come to me and say "Mommy, we need to do our prayer".

Tonight I was driving home from the store with Hannah and Matt while Pete had Davis at baseball practice. This is what I heard in the sweetest 4 year old voice from the backseat ...

"Father, Son, Holy Spirit Amen. Please keep Davis and Matt safe on their bikes. Amen"

The below video was after we got home and I asked if he could do it again for the camera. My Grandma must be smiling in Heaven, I know it made me smile from ear to ear!!!

Morning Prayer

Dear God,

I hope I have thanked you enough in the last 7 years for letting us have Davis....he really did save me.

What I need now is some (okay A LOT) of patience to deal with the horns my Angel Boy has grown.

I know he doesn't mean it when he said he wanted me to die so that he could make his own rules.

I know he is grateful (somewhere deep inside) for the money and time we spend on motocross for him.

I know he wants to do what we tell him to do, when we tell him to.

I know he can do his homework without complaints!!

Please help me to remember that this most likely just a phase that he will grow out of.

Can you help me to remember to buy shorts that button (not elastic) and shirts that don't "bother" his neck?

I know these issues are really small in the whole scheme of things and I am really thankful for the continued good health of all my kids. It is just that right now I am struggling and I would really appreciate your help and guidance.

Thank you...I love you!

Amen
