moon sand

JP got some moon sand and castle props for his birthday. He loves it. I like it too because it's very easy to clean up. He enjoyed playing with it when we came home from school/Connie's today. Our first day back went really well. He walked up to Connie's door all by himself this morning and knocked on the door. He was excited to see their family! They have been such a blessing to us! We are so thankful....

My day went well too. I'm not sure what my class is going to be like, but at least I am surrounded by awesome co-workers. We laugh and have the best time! Looking back, I realize how God has always blessed me in this area. Not only here, but working at the Meyer Center for ten years. God has always allowed me to do a job that I love while surrounded by people that I love. Thank You, God!! I do not take it for granted.

the end

All good things must come to and end, right?! Summer is over and tomorrow the daily routine begins. Believe it or not, I am not too sad about it. JP is going to be staying with Connie for a few weeks until he begins pre-school. We have open-house on the twenty seventh and then he starts on Monday August 31st. I'll blog about that later.....the knot in my throat and stomach is already forming.....

I thoroughly enjoyed my first summer out of work! There is seriously nothing like it. I think I'll try it again next year!! ;) My plan is to wake up when Scott leaves every morning (5:30) and spend a little time in the WORD. We'll see how that goes...

I hope everyone has a great Thursday. Keep JP in your thoughts. He's not too big on change of any kind. I hope and pray that this upcoming transition will be a smooth one for him.

random thoughts via bullets

I can't sleep.
My house is HOT. Not sure the air is working correctly. Air is set on 70, but house has been 75 for two days...wonder what the power bill will say this month???!!!!
Not ready to go to work on Thursday.
Sad about JP beginning pre-school. He is growing up too fast for me!
Went to the library today and checked out three books. Almost done with one. I LOVE to read!
Found a "Friends of the Library" gift shop there that sells book for 25 cents and 1 dollar! I was in heaven!
Will be joining our FINAL church in the next month or two. Very excited about it. Check out this timeline:

-Scott and I are at Berea First Baptist for five years. God opens a door for us to become involved and be a part of a praise band at 5 Point Fellowship in Easley. Loved it there. Became members. Approximately one year later, a friend approaches Scott about helping with a church plant and ministering to the young people. Bittersweet, b/c we loved what we were doing. We moved. Stayed there approximately another year. Three months ago, the pastor feels like God has opened a door for him to pursue a new ministry through a book that he recently had published. Door closed. Now, we've moved on A.G.A.I.N!!! We have been attending New Spring in Greenville for a few months now. JP loves it. So, we are probably going to join soon. Mark it down in your books....I WILL NOT MOVE CHURCHES AGAIN!!! This is the last church for me this side of Heaven! Gonna get plugged in and serve every week to the best of my ability.

While I am thankful for the many opportunities to serve in different ways, it's too much. I'm ready for something stable and permanent.

I guess I just had to get these thoughts off of my brain......GOODNIGHT!
