Monday--May 22nd--my fav day and number


I made a wonderful decision the other day and dropped a list that was spending more time bickering than talking, praying, being friends, or basically caring for others. I told them I was done and that I was leaving to free up some more time in my life to do things that uplift me instead of tearing me down. I said goodbye to some on that list forever. I suppose some of them werent friends anyways. Some that were, understood why I left (even though they still remain there) and are still my friends.

I feel set free! Like I was drowning and now I am on the shore. WOW! Who knew it would be so liberating to do something so simple? But isn't that what faith is--it's something simple and freeing?

Yeah, I know my blogging has been here and there, but I have been spending time with the kids. It's quality time that if I don't take now will pass me by. I guess it's like Alexander being a baby. We waited and waited for him to finally be mine, I was afraid to latch on until he was officially ours...it feels like that time was wasted. I suffered, while lawyers got paid to postpone my life. GRRRRRR!

So I am enjoying our time together by playing games and teaching Rachel and Alex their color words. What an awesome thing to hear is something as simple as them knowing what color something is. Or hearing them tell Charlotta (my sister) that she is short, but Daddy is tall. Mama is tall, Will is tall, but Charlotta (they say Char-wahwah) is always short.

I guess that's all for now.
