cheerio gang: child #1



Child #1 has been quite a challenge lately. Putting it mildly. I am not sure what's going on with my usually fairly compliant child. BUT she's been everything but compliant lately.


 I have tried spending some one on one time with her. And that has helped some. We both like to play games so when we get a spare moment we try and play a round or two of something. She may not like to admit it but she is competitive. Mamaw Early would have loved to play Skip Bo with her. She also likes to play Monopoly. I've noticed since she was real young that she always like to open up shops. I think she's got quite a sense for business. She really likes buying up the properties and building houses.



 In fact at one point I literally had $26 dollars to my name and she had MUCH MORE and about 6 properties and 3 Railroads. She pretty savvy. I am not sure when she found time, but I think she's gone to the Donald Trump School of Business.



I asked her if she was going to open up her own business. She said if she did it would be a dance studio. WATCH out Miss Kelly!

I love to see her smile and see her doing what she loves. I just pray that we get through this stage ALIVE!

Join us this week and  be a cheerio gang member!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
