This week was really special for me and my family. Although we seemed to fail on our plans to leave the house on time for school, we managed to make it to school on time. In fact, I actually made it into the office early. This week has been mostly meetings, but getting into the office early was such a blessing. I'm sure you can relate to being ready to face the day. For example, on Wednesday I made into the office early enough to prepare for all of the days hurdles, challenges and meetings. I had my reports in hand, my facts checked and double checked, and I was prayed up before the next person walked in the door.
The girls had a good week. Cassarra will have her first home game tonight with the band and they will perform on the field for halftime. She didn't have any complaints this week about school or band practice other than the heat. Gabbi continues to enjoy dance and gymnastics. She had a great day yesterday in P.E. her least favorite subject when she realized that she was actually very fast. In fact she was one of the three fastest girls in the class. Paige and Sydney had minor homework meltdowns, but recovered nicely by Wednesday and Thursday. Of course, Ava and Emma continue to be amazing in their growth and growing. Ava seems to be growing up too fast and Emma is not far behind. Emma has satisfied her curiosity with getting out of the bouncy seat on her own and she is officially capable of rolling all the way over. It was funny to see her earlier this week roll completely from one side of the blanket on the floor to the other side of the room. She was only stopped by furniture, but you could tell she was still trying to move. Trish is working hard on a number of projects. She is truly an amazing woman. This week she is busy pulling together photos from various events and working on the girls school yearbook.
God did some amazing things this week in answering prayers. A co-worker blessed me with an amazing book that I was hoping to buy. My truck didn't start this morning and Trish had to take all of the girls to school, but she was up early enough and we were ready early enough to make that all possible. Initially I was frustrated that the truck didn't start, but after a quick word of prayer, God gave me a peace that even if the truck never started again, it would be okay. I had no idea how it would be okay, but I really had a peace that the day was not lost and things would be fine. So, after not starting in time for school, and 30 minutes of tinkering - my truck started right up.
Today, the office is filled with treats. Can you believe we have a pan of macaroni in the break room along with a huge plate of brownies, a equally large plate of chocolate chip cookies and a box of donuts. This afternoon we are having a party and later today I get to go to the football game with Sydney and Paige for Elementary School night.
Indeed it has been a great week for me. I hope you have had a wonderful week. I hope that you can roll the tape back and share with me the best part of your week so that I might be happy and encouraged for you and with you. Enjoy the weekend.
I pray that you will have a great weekend. I pray that great things will be done for you and done by you to bless others.
