So today started off kind of slow. I went to bed at like 10 (I know very unusual for me) and I completely passed out. I woke up at 8 to get ready for the day and went and got Eli out of bed and dressed him. Man that kid is crazy. He still gives me the strangest look every time I walk into a room and he throws the biggest tantrums ever...ha. He is still pretty confused on why I am living in the basement I am sure. We all got dressed and then had a mother's day breakfast. I will usually have all day Friday and all day Sunday usually off but since I just got here I wanted to interact with the kids a little bit. They need to know I care.
Anyway so it was cold and windy out so we were super bored. I watched Ben play some games and then watched some veggie tales. After the failure of that being exciting we geared up and headed outside for the rest of the day. Me and Ben rock at baseball. He is actually very impressive for a 4 year old. Oh I am already starting to love the kid. You can just see joy in his eyes. And when he hits a ball or does something ridiculous and we laugh I can totally see God. The neighbor kids were out playing too so we played some basketball and played on the play-set, played football (which I think we quit mainly cause I had a better throw than Dale, the dad... ha), then we hit up some soccer with one of the neighbor boys. Man I am out of shape, and minus all the advantages they had on me they did really good. I was exhausted. I think that might be my common state this whole summer. A constant on the go all day and then will want to pass out by 8 p.m.
All together though it was a great day. There was some ups and downs for sure but that is everyday life and I am still excited about were God led me this summer. He is so good.
Prayer request:
That God constantly lefts my spirits and lets me realize the little things through the day. That God helps me impact the lives of the kids and family. And that God fills me with energy throughout the day.
Thanks friends.
p.s.
Had Chipotle for the first time tonight. It is pretty legit. :)
