Back to Work!

Well I had to go back to work today after being off for the Christmas Holiday's and WOW was it tough getting up this morning!! I must admit it was good getting back to the daily routine but it was really hard saying good-bye to "priss" this morning. She was so sweet this morning and she just loved and hugged on me while "we" got ready! She helped me with my make-up, helped dry my hair, and even helped pack her diaper bag. She smiled and laughed the entire time. She was precious. It was like she knew I was going to have a hard time so she was REALLY nice to me. I can not imagine my life with out that precious little girl! She amazes me every day with what she is learning. I absolutely love every thing about her!! God has blessed me with so much in my life, but I do believe that she takes the cake!! :-) I can not imagine one second with out her! I am going to post "Emma's Story" in the next few days, but I want to make sure I do it justice, so I want to dive into my bible and really search for God's words that may bless you as much as he has blessed us. I read a friends blog earlier and she has been posting some of her older blogs and one of them was about Emma and her story. I sat in tears. After reading her blog I realized I have been slacking on God! I haven't been sharing the precious story that he gave us to share. I haven't been doing MORE for him. I had fallen into my old ways! I shouldn't be sitting quietly but shouting from the mountain tops that GOD is STILL a HEALING GOD and HE LIVES IN ME!!!! I hope to become more like him daily and I hope that you see him in me and in my future posts! Yes, there will still be stories of Emma, but there will be more of GOD!!! Thank you Brooke for reminding me of God's grace and unending love! You and your family are so precious to me!

God Bless you all and I pray that when my students return on Wed. they will see more of God in me too!!!

Hey Kelli! Sorry about your first day. I am glad that Emma was such a sweetie. Please pray for Bryce. We went to the doctor today. He checked out fine and no medicines ordered, but Dr. thought that it might be a virus and we would have to wait it out. He is having trouble breathing thru his little nose. It breaks my heart. I know that he feels like junk and he just keeps trying and smiling. We can learn alot from these little people. I spent the morning in the doctor's office and the afternoon trying to get my license renewed. I had to wait with the people who had revoked licenses and the ones wanting to take their driving tests. Bryce was good, but I felt sorry for him having to wait. We waited for an hour and a half. Not to mention it is crazy dirty in there. I tried to message Hayli, but it wants me to pick a format or something. I can't figure it out. Let me know....
