This picture was taken about a year and a half ago. How time flies. These kids are the light of my life. Everyday they amaze me. I am so proud of them all and thank God everyday for giving them to me. Now don't get me wrond some days I want to just strangle them for something or other and I'm sure they'd like to slap me around too. But, to have Rylie say, "Mom, I love you." or Payton tell me I am a good mom and she appreciates me or to hear Zack say, "mom, I want to get closer to God like you have, how do I do that?" just makes me melt.
Ya know I wish I would have shared more about God with these kids when they were a lot younger. Yes, we went to church and went through the motions. Of course the Presbytarin church we went to didn't have much youth and the services were really on an adult level that was hard for me to keep focused on and I know Payton and Zack found it hard to comprehend. (Which of course is no exuse) but, I didn't have God in our lives like we do now. So, the question Zack asked me how do I know GOd more has been weighing on his mind. He started crying the other day because he's afraid he wont go to heaven because he is having a hard time connecting with God sense he can't see him. So, I felt like a total idiot for not showing him the way of worship before now. So, if anyone knows of a Bible for his age, 10 years old, please let me know. Going to church and being involved with youth group and shout choir with Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Becky Bradley is a great way to start. They are wonderful spiritual people that do great jobs with youth.
Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have All star basket ball games for Zack all day Sat. and my sister is coming in! I'm excited cause I get to baby squat my little neice on Sat. night-whew hoo
