And away... we... goooo!!!

How's this for a maiden blog entry? I am so excited about my new blog it is not even funny!

So anyway, I've been a good little mommy and have gotten up and COOKED my children a hot breakfast every morning that school has been in session this year. I've not missed one single day. After I've served them I go crawl back into bed until it is time to take them to school... unless of course my wonderful Super Hubbie is home in which case he takes them and lets me sleep. (This is a serious act of love... you have no idea how very much I adore sleep or how very much I abhore mornings!)

A few weeks ago it occurred to me that I really did not have any excuse to not sit up with my children for a few extra minutes and do devotions with them. I asked them to help me remember by reminding me and they have been wonderful about doing that. There have been 2 or 3 mornings where I really just had to go back to bed because I had been up all night with the baby, but I am really enjoying it.

I read the Proverbs of the day first and then after that I read a devotion. I am currently going through the children's version of Hinds Feet on High Places and am finding myself profoundly blessed by it. I am thinking of a couple of adult friends I think I would like to buy this book for.

The chapter we read today is called "Through the Desert and Loneliness" and the theme of it is "Acceptance-With-Joy". Here is a small excerpt:

"Much-Afraid thought of the things she had seen in the pyramid: the threshing-floor, the potter's wheel, and the fiery furnace. The words of the little golden flower echoed in her mind and she said to herself, "I too want to be Acceptance-With-Joy. Whatever He lets me go through, I want to trust Him and allow Him to have His way in my life. And I want to do it with joy in my heart."

Amen, and Amen!
Be blessed!!!
