On a Lighter Note...

Thanks for letting me use my blog as therapy yesterday. It feels good sometimes to journal about where God has delivered you from. It helps to not forget how awesome He is and how He really is there with me each step of the way and, if by chance He does seem distant, that is part of the plan and it did me good to walk back through it all and just see how His sweet hand is always guiding me. Now, to what my blog is really about...my girls and a day in their lives...

Ailee, when I picked you up from school today, I found out you have a speaking part in the "Singing around the Christmas Tree" with all the students at your preschool. Upon reading this, I had already began to feel a little nervous. With your personality, anything is possible and I was a little weary of how this might turn out. So, I began to start practicing your line with you as we drove home. We said it together a few times...
"After Jesus' birth, the wise men came from the East to Jerusalem." We had to work on the pronunciation of Jerusalem a few times with no luck but it sounds similar and absolutely adorable so I let it slide. Then, you went into some other silly story about your day at school. I tried to draw your attention back to your part in the play by asking you if you remembered your lines. You said "Yes, ma'am!" And as proud as could be you went on to say..."After Christ's birth, two men came for Easter in Bethlehem!" I couldn't control myself. You are such a mess and being your Mommy couldn't be more fun!
