Thanksgiving

Well I can't believe that tomorrow is THanksgiving already. I am going to take time and reflect on what I am truley thankful for...not stuff but people and situations in my life. The first thing I am thankful for would have to be a Loving savior. I can't believe on so many days how much he really loves nme flaws and all he created me. I am the person I am because of Jesus Christ. Next I am thankful for my husband, Greg. He drives me crazy sometimes but he is so generous, kind, and caring that I am proud to call him mine. On top of these great traits he is a great dad to our kids. I'm not sure I tell him enough how much I love these things about him. Next, my kids, Creston, Kayloni, Tobyn, and Nolan. They all try my patience many times a day but I love each of them. They help point out thing I do and the way I act that I want to change, they also do the same about things I want to encourage them to follow in my wake with. Finally I am thankful for my parents. My mom and dad are great! THey have taught my so many valuable lessons in life. I am so blessed and I hope and pray that I never forget that this Christmas season.

a lot on this momma's plate

Well I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have behavior problems with my 11 year old step son and he is not doing well in school. This in itself is frustrating! What do I do to help him understand not only that his behavior affects other people and gives him a "bad" name but also how inportant school is. If this is not enough we just found out on Thursday that my 41/2 year old has a cateract on her eye and needs to have eye surgery. After the surgery she will need to wear glasses to read forever. I know that God is in control but I am feelining like Peter on the water...I am sinking and reaching for Jesus to grab my hand and save me from drowning. LORD please help me see your hand in all things.
