Busy, busy, busy

Wow....I can't believe how hectic our schedules have become. I have tons of clients calling suddenly after an arid September. Plus, I took a job outside the home two days a week at the hospital in Lincoln. I didn't really want to, but the offer was too good to pass up. It's a temporary position for a year, so it will really help us pay off debt while my business grows. If all goes well, we could be entirely out of debt (except the house) in one year. God is so good!!!

OK, onto a couple other things:

Funny Ryker story--
I was picking up things around the house and tossed a "puppet" that he made at preschool (a paper plate taped to a popscicle stick) into the filing cabinet, uhm-hum garbage. Not long after he stomped into the room, flipped up the garbage lid while saying in the funniest tone of voice, "No, no lady! I made this at school." He closed the lid, and walked by me saying, "I still love you." Oh, I just about pee'ed myself crying!!!

Tonight--
Abby has a rotten cough that just seems to get worse instead of better this week. She couldn't breath out of her nose and was just crying about trying to sleep, so I laid on her bed and stroked her hair while she fell asleep in my arms. Does it get any better than this!!! I absolutely love these times, even though I don't have time for it all the time, but it's like God is shaking and me and saying, "Enjoy the peace with your child." I marvelled at her while I laid there...she was so congested and yet she crashed because she was safe, secure and loved in my arms. Sometimes I think I need that. I can't think or function or sleep. Life is a blur. My schedule is chaotic. And when I seek my Father's loving arms, I find peace and mercy and grace. I'll be needing a lot of that in the coming months, so I hope I don't forget to first go to the security blanket of prayer!

Enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather!!
