This month at church we've been discussing how we should all change the way we think and speak about our lives. It's changed me in a big way and I'm really surprised. Not surprised because something changed me...surprised because I hadn't ever really thought of myself as a negative minded or speaking person. But I catch myself now saying the most unblessed things that are just wrong. I catch myself letting my emotions get the better of me...and I change the situation right then by speaking what God's hand in my life has done. I am truly blessed.
Summer break has begun and my boys and I are having a blast. We've taken advantage of every free outing this week I could think up. We've been on a picnic, skipped rocks at the lake, caught frogs at the lake, went to the petting zoo, went to the splash park, went to the school playground and got tastee freeze (which isn't free but one can't do without TF on a nice carefree day).
I'm taking advantage of these 3 months by reading my 90 day bible again. I'm on day 7 and so I'm at the point where God is giving Moses all the instructions on how to build the Tabernacle. (materials, exact measurements and rules) My brain hurts. I didn't start it this year with everyone else in January because I did the Daniel study instead and I thought it would be overwhelming. I'm glad I waited because I loved the Daniel study by Beth Moore. It was great. Now with some down time I'm able to read and understand without getting in a hurry.
Summer camp at pre-school starts next week. It won't really be like work because I've prepared for it all year so most of the details are done. Now all that is left is fun, fun, fun. Everyday we'll have a craft, a science experiment, and a cooking project. Today the boys and I refreshed our homemade soap recipe so that we could make that next week with all the kids at camp. I'm looking forward to it and so are my boys.
This Friday and Saturday I'm having a yard sale at my house with some of my bestest friends. I really don't have much to get rid of (I'm the complete opposite of a pack rat, I throw everything away) but it'll be nice to hang out with the girls.

Oh yeah, and one more thing before I'm finished... I love my Kasey. I just do. I really do. He's my favorite thing of everything. How much more can a girl be blessed with than to be in love...with her husband. Kasey, Thanks for working so stinkin hard at everything you put your heart and mind to. Your dedication inspires me.
That's all for now.
I AM BLESSED!

Wow! I wish I had known about the yard sale. I have been storing all sorts of items in a spare room in the basement with intentions of having a yard sale but haven't gotten around to it yet. Ty wants the yard sale to only be for poor people. He thinks we should give everything away but only if they can't afford it! Good intentions but I don't see it happening.
Tina I can't believe that you have negative thoughts. You are always smiling and so positive. Keep up the god work though!
