I know it's been a few days since I posted last. I told my mom last night that I had writers block! We really haven't been that busy but I have had a busy mind lately. Sometimes I wish I could just shut it off for a little while!
Many of you know our house has been for sale for quite some time now. Well as of tomorrow it officially goes off the market. We had hopes of moving out of Jordan and getting closer to New Market which is a town where I have lots of friends, family, we go to church and Jade attends AWANA. It's quite a bit closer to conveniences as well. But it must not be in Gods will just yet. I guess looking at all that's going on in the real world why would we want to move right now? But, you know me, I get something in my head and I like to see it through!
Jade started AWANA through our church a couple of weeks ago. Every Wednesday she goes and learns about God's love for her. She loves it and it's such a good time for all the kids. Right now she is working on memorizing John 3:16. It's amazing what she can do when she puts her mind to it. I thought it'd be hard but she's doing it and I think "why do I always underestimate her?"!
Kindergarten is amazing. What she learns in the course of week is astounding. Yesterday when she got home I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and she replied, "playing outside and math!" Can you believe it? Math? That's fabulous.
We were having some issues with a couple of classmates but those things seem to be resolving themselves with A LOT of prayer and as time goes on. I know it certainly isn't my worrying that has made it better. What I've realized though is the good that's come from this challenge - I probably would have never thought to cover my child in prayer all day long while she was in school but it has caused me to do just that and I've realized that even when everything is going great praying for her throughout the day is what I need to do.
Speaking of praying, Gary and I, go to trial today to hopefully see this Work Comp debacle to bed! We have been fighting for 4 long years. Please say a little prayer for us today. . . we will be victorious and be reimbursed our medical expenses and mileage!
With that I'll sign off. I'll try to post an update later today as well as pictures of Jade.
