I never really understood how true the statement "they grow up so fast" was until I had my own children. On Monday (at 5:20pm to be exact!) our Luke Jackson turned six years old. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was cradling him in my arms and imagining all of the wonderful experiences that we would have together. And now, in the blink of an eye, he is six.
Sam and Maddy have the amazing opportunity to attend Sonshine School at our church this year, thanks to the love and generosity of an "anonymous" friend. They go every Tuesday and Thursday from 9-1:30 and on Wednesdays from 9-12. This has been such a huge blessing, not only to Sam and Maddy, but to me as well. This will help prepare them for starting kindergarten next year (wow - I can't believe that is just next year!) and has given me time to clean a couple more houses and get errands done - I had forgotten how fast I can make it through a grocery with no kids with me!
It has been a long while since I have blogged (which is noted to me in a loving way on a near daily basis by my dear husband). I love having this blog and feel horribly guilty when a let so much time pass by without making an entry. It reminds me of when you have a dear friend with whom you think about alot, but things get busy and you go a week without writing or calling them. And then before you know it, it has been months, and you begin to feel worse and worse and even a little uncomfortable because you know that they must think you are the worst friend in the whole world.
So, today I am playing catch up. I will make my entries and even pick up the phone for some overdue calls. However, this thought keeps coming to me, how many times have I done the same thing to God? He is there for me every second of every day and all I have to do is call upon His name. But things get busy (or so I think) and I go days without prayer or studying His word. I began to feel stressed, agitiated and grumpy not understanding why, and then I remember that I need God to help me and lead every day of my life. I am so thankful that He never gives up on me.
