Living for today

Last week started Spring Break... we weren't doing anything but I decided to make the most of it.  I'm REALLY trying to see life that way in general. Instead of trying to live the life I planned... I'll just live.

So before school let out...I enjoyed lunch with Tristan and Braeden. My child didn't eat 3/4 of his meal... I tried not to notice. I just had fun.

I had camp set up for T... he didn't want to go day one.  So, he called me in tears wanting to come and hang out.  So, I said yes. I can't do that all the time... but this time - I just... said... yes

This is what I got in return!

that was WELL worth it!! 

The next night I forced myself to go to TYPOS.. ugh, I just hate social events.  BUT a former Secret Service an=gent and former Dallas Police Officer spoke on active shooter situations. While I hated what they were talking about I loved them and was so thankful for that knowledge.

I was all giddy and I embarrassed myself - I really do need to grow up!

then the next day after camp... this is where I found Tristan and Baylor...

Just loving time together!

We made our annual teacher's gift...

and I've really done a poor job of talking about Easter... or anything much of value these days. I'm hoping my actions in things matter.

I'm trying to teach him that HE matters, his actions matter.. his choices matter. EVERY. DAY.

BE the NICE kid!!!  I pray they know his heart!!

And while things have not gone as planned... (AT ALL)... the Lord has used every circumstance.  He has been faithful to walk with me. I trust Him. I trust His timing - even though it feels slow and hard.

speaking of timing.  I waited FOUR years to buy a new car. Mine was over 8 years old... and the Lord blessed me financially... in a few ways I could never have seen so now I can afford the payment.  

Haven't named her yet.. but I will.

May I be wise in where this takes me, may I be mindful of every place I choose to go.

May I be careful with whom I ride this crazy thing called life with... you are who you hang out with.

May I love and care for people and provide rides, and meals and a listening ear.  

May this not be just a car... but a way to be a better version of myself.

For sure, that is a blessing.  And I for one, am thankful.
