Welcome to Friday - 4.25.14

Welcome to Friday!

Our week was full, fast and fantastic.  We had an amazing Easter.  I had an opportunity to share the good news and joy of Easter with the sunrise service at our church and with a good friend of mine from basketball.  I think it went very well during the service and afterwards as we shared our journey of faith.  I enjoyed sharing my faith journey with my church family.  

The rest of the day was equally amazing.  The girls were involved with skits, and speeches at church as a part of our Easter program.  The skit was even written by Arianna, my niece.  She, of course, was the star of the skit.  It also featured my nieces and nephew and oldest girls.  Later in the day we shared in the blessing of my sister's new home.  Her house is amazing.  It is truly a blessing from God and I cannot imagine anyone else who I'd like to see enjoy the fruit of a faithful and diligent life.  It was an amazing kick start to a great week.

On Monday, the girls went back to school this week and that was a challenge.  After a week off from school, no one wanted to get up on Monday.  I struggled to get up myself.  I have struggled to get up for the last two or three weeks, but thankfully by Tuesday we were starting to come back around to things.

Wednesday was the hardest day this week.  At work my team's project was put on the shelf and at home Emma and Ava decided to double team me while Trish and the older girls went shopping.  Emma would hang off of my leg every time I moved.  While Ava would take advantage of the distraction to go and plunder the pantry or pull down something from anywhere she could reach.  Not to mention that Sydney and Paige both played the "when will dinner be ready" card over and over.

Thursday was a great day.  Not only did God send peace about my project's status, but he opened my eyes to see the benefits of the company decision and helped me rally our team towards our new direction.  That night we were treated to a wonderful jazz concert by the jazz band at DFHS.  Cassarra, who normally plays flute, played the saxophone.  The jazz band sounded great.

Today a few of us headed off to hear Sydney sing with the honor choir.  They performed at Carowinds as a part of the music festival.  Their choir received a rating of "Superior."  Sydney and Paige had a good time at Carowinds.  They rode a few rides, burned through our cash and left with a full belly and a Cinabon cinnamon role.  Once we made it back home we waited on and waited for Gabbi to get ready for her 8th grade formal.  She has been looking forward to her formal all week.  She has picked out shoes, accessories, and an amazing dress.  I can't believe she is growing up so fast.  I can't believe they all are growing so fast.  She looked fantastic in her dress.  She had all of her accessories lined up and even got a friend of Cassarra's to do her hair.

All in all, a great week.  I'm looking forward to an even better weekend!

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend.  Take care and may the light of the Eternal shine on you to grant you blessings and peace.

With love (& in triumph),
Cassius
