this is what happens when i'm at home all day. no, i haven't cleaned and picked everything up. and that chocolate cake that i made for pat's birthday yesterday has been calling my name ALL DAY. i resisted and resisted. but i couldn't anymore - i ate a piece. ugh! now i'm kicking myself... bailey doing "strong girl"...any of you that have known us as long as when rebekah was this age will remember her doing it! :-)
My prayer for Rebekah today - as she has time outside of "my control" (school, play dates) and has to make "wise" decisions on her own: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." Colossians 3:23
My prayer for Joshua today...he has such a tendency towards fear - I pray he comes to know His peace: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
My prayer for Bailey today - I never know what mood you're going to be in at any moment...but He knows: "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:16

now, wasn't that better than cleaning? yes, yes it was
