Welcome to Friday!
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32 ESV
Welcome to Friday! I hope that you are having an excellent day and that you have had a radiant, beautiful, and prosperous week. How are you doing? How are things going for you in your neck of the woods? What were you up to this week, and what kind of new and exciting things held your attention? Did you accomplish everything you set out to do, the fun stuff, or only the "must have" items? I hope that you were able to get what you needed done. I pray that you have a good sense of accomplishment for the week, and are able to be at peace with what did not get completed (if anything) this week. Most of all, I pray that in the highs and lows, moment by moment, you were able to feel the presence, power and love of God with you.
We had a great week! I know that we spent a lot of time making sure the girls were ready for back to school. Paige and I had are last morning workout with post workout Chick-Fil-A breakfast. We made one last dessert run, and finished up a few back to school shopping items. We all had a last night of staying up late, and sleeping in this week. School officially started back for the oldest four on Wednesday. Ava will go to pre-K next week and I'm sure she will enjoy it.
Other than getting ready for the back to school blitz, the week has been a bit hazy and fuzzy. It was probably fuzzy for me because mostly battled with my laptop. I updated the OS software (Microsoft), and then it was all downhill. Every few minutes the screen would flicker, repaint, and Explorer would crash. It is so frustrating when you are so used to turning on technology without an issue, and then suddenly you can't. It is even more frustrating when you work in computer software, and think to yourself that "you of all people" should be able to fix this. Finally, today at 4:48 I think I have my laptop stable again. It hasn't crashed in 50 minutes. I have to be sure to number this laptop fix in my blessings for the week.
The girls are all doing well. They got off to school well on the first day. Gabbi was the only one with a teacher conflict. Paige and Sydney seem to be adjusting to their new roles well. Sydney is at a new school, Irmo Middle. Paige is now the only Rhue at Dutch Fork Elementary (at least till next week), and she is riding the bus solo. Sydney warned her to make sure she stayed awake on the bus ride home b/c she wouldn't be able to tell her to get up at their stop. Cassarra, our senior (tears, tears) is super excited about being a senior, her classes and classmates, and the potential for an amazing year. Ava is waking up everyday wondering when she will get to go, and Emma just gets up and seems happy to see them go. I guess Emma feels like with them gone there is less competition for iPods, iPads, TV, and most of all her mom's attention.
Trish is doing well. She has the girls organized, prayed up, and ready. She clearly set her expectations for this year, and began naming, praying, and proclaiming truth over them. Again, don't know where the cape is, but I apparently married "Superwoman!" She is great. Hopefully this weekend we can go and enjoy the free coffee reward I have, and a little conversation time after the back to school blitz ends.
Well, I hope you had a great day and an awesome week. I'm so thankful for you and for all of your love and kindness. May God provide you with peace and renewal over the weekend. May his love, and the love of those closest to you bring you an unshakable joy and an unmistakable peace. As always...
