Summer So Far

It has been a cooler today and the kids and I are still in our pj's. I can't lie this is a much needed break for me and I am sure them! I am still working at both Ent and Radiant Church. I am blessed to have two amazing employers in an economy where so many people are out of work. However I must admit I am tired and struggling a bit getting everything done for everyone. I start my morning early so I can get as many chores done before my babies wake. I love having breakfast ready and outside for the kids when they get up. I love our morning on the deck where we eat and pray together. There is something so amazing about praying outside. The kids and I try to visit a new park everyday and have a picnic, or go to the library or pool. We spend a lot of time at church prepping for the weekly activities. I am so blessed to have Lilly and Owen as helpers. I don't think it is ever to early to teach our children to serve others in church. I adore Lilly and Owens heart and their willingness to pray for other kids. Something that I like to do once a week is stop in to the pre-school area and pray over all the rooms for the families and kids. My kids love to come with me and pray, that is a blessing right before my eyes. We continue our day waiting for Gary to come home, he always has something fun to talk about when he gets home from work. Gary has been working with our friend Ethan on his Harley. Guys are so weird but hey I guess cutting metal in a garage is something that relaxes them and give me a moment to read or blog! Our kiddos have been going to bed super late, we have thrown that whole school year routine out the window this summer and pretty much let them make some silly memories. They love playing outside in the dark. One of the best investments of the summer is glow sticks from the dollar store. Our kids love the glow sicks. In all the madness of summer I have had the chance to read some really great books and learn some new music. I have even been dabbling in writing some songs. Nothing spectacular but fun and I am enjoying it. I really miss singing in the modern service, however I am still getting to sing to Jesus and that is all that matters. My worship pastor and assistant worship leader at our church are amazing, I think they know how much I miss the modern service because I am now getting to sing way more during our Fusion services. This is such a blessing and shows just how God works. Well that is pretty much our summer so far. Hard to believe in less than a moth Lilly will be back in school. I am loving this time with my family and hope everyone is enjoying summer too. I better get some things done Pook will be home from work soon. I can at least pretend I have done something today!!! Blessing Everyone!
