And So Our Week Begins

   Good morning.  Today our son got up around three to use the potty and thankfully went back to sleep.  Some of you may be saying, "of corse, don't they go back to bed that earily in the morning?"  Not ours, not always. *smile*  So, I am very thankful he did.  He started getting a sore throught on Saturday and yesterday he was working on getting stuffed up in the nose/sinuses.  Poor guy.  Our daughter got up at four this morning to use the potty but since she is going 'hosre' had a hard time telling us what she needed in her dazed sleepy state.  My beloved husband was trying to ask her if she was okay while I got up out of bed to take her to the potty.  I just figure if they get up at an unruly hour that is what they need.  I took her to the potty and found out she had a VERY LITTLE woopsie and need a clean pair of undergarments.  So, we got her all taken care of and back to bed she went.  Thankfully, once again, she did go right back to sleep.  Poor little things.  She started getting this cold, must have been Friday but didn't konw it.  They have all their energy and no fever, thank the Lord!  But that means I will probably need to stay home with them all week rather than going on our field trip and to club.  I may try asking the leader if we can tell her our verses over the phone as they know these three new ones but I am not wanting to add more on before they get a chance to say these ones. *smile*  And right now they are on track to complete their second book this year as well.  So, I am hoping they will be allowed to say their verses over the phone this week so we can keep moving in their book.  We shall see. *smile*

   In other "news" I did get my reading done this morning and got some of the main floor areas swept and mopped already this morning.

   I read four chapters in Psalm 140-143.  In chapter 141 I marked some verses that I will share with you.  Starting with verses two through four:

Let my prayer be set before You as incence, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.  Set a buard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.  Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.

   And then jump down to verese eight.

But my eyes were upon You, O god the Lord; in You I take refuge; do not leave my soul destitute.

   I am nowhere near as humble as Paul I am sure nor have I seen the hardships he has, but at times it is as though this is also my prayer to the Lord.

   Now if you turn over to chapter 143 and look at verse eight you will see another spot where it seems as though Paul is saying what I feel like saying.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.

    Verse ten:

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God, Your Spirit is good.  Lead me in the land of uprightness.

   I know I goof up A LOT in my life.  We are told, "there is none righteous, no one one" but still I try.  I tend to do some things over and over again defending them in my mind and other things I beat myself up about hoping to not repeat them EVER again.  In my reading around here at homesteadblogger I know I am not the only gal who does this.  That gives me comfort, just knowing I am not alone in TRYING. *smile*

   I hope you have a great day growing in God.  In this moment of your life that your eyes will be opened to His truths and His path for you will seem clear as day.  Remember to pray always. Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings

Thankfully the kiddos went right back to sleep. I know what you mean, sometimes Noah thinks, I am up and everyone else should be too. LOL

Praying you have a wonderful week my friend.

God's Blessings,
