If you're on Facebook with me, you already know all this but yesterday was an INCREDIBLE day! Thank you, Lord!
It started out with us waking up to a beautiful scene in our front and back yards--snow!!! Not a lot but just enough to remind us that God's creation is beautiful. I figured if I let the girls sleep in and not wake them so they could enjoy it, they'd be mad. So I woke them up and that seemed like a mistake at first! They are so ill and grouchy when they first wake up. Wonder where they get that from? hehe
But they finally got going and played outside for a bit. Then I had to hurry and get ready to go to Dylan's wrestling tournament in Vestavia. I do not much like wrestling but I love my son and so I try...really hard... but it was fun yesterday. It was an individual tournament and not a team tourney so we didn't have to sit through a whole lot of other matches. Don't get me wrong, I love his teammates, too and want them to do well but it can get REALLY long and boring sometimes. And also, each match yesterday was 3 1-minute rounds which made it all the more exciting. He lost his first match--on points, not pinned. But he won his next three--2 on points, 1 by pin. That enabled him to medal and place 3rd. He was so excited and I was so proud of him!
We finished just in time to race home to watch the Alabama/Florida game and what a game! I loved every minute of it!!! I also love watching it and facebooking with my fellow bama fans at the same time. It's like we're all watching it together! Fun!
It was a good week as well. I didn't get my Drewbie back Monday like I thought I would so the girls and I went and paid him a visit Thursday night! He was SO excited to see us and we were so blessed to visit with him and his sweet family for a little bit. He comes back for sure tomorrow! I'm so glad he's doing well and I will have to remember to go in early because I'm sure coming back after two weeks will be quite the adjustment for my little man!
I know I say this all the time but I truly feel I'm where God wants me to be--teaching, that is. I totally love what I do and that makes it not feel like work at all. I get so close to my students and their families, which may not be wise all the time but I can't help it and why not? Doesn't God value us having good relationships with others? I think so. And so I do my best.
I'm looking forward to tonight. The Academy kids will participate in the church's Christmas program and they have been so precious to watch. I know they are going to do well.
And I'm so excited about this Christmas. I am just trying to not let time get away from me like it usually does. I sometimes try too hard to make it "meaningful" that I get bogged down in too many details. I need to try and remember to just slow down and enjoy it as it comes, however it comes, and appreciate the many ways in which I am blessed!
How are you blessed this Christmas?
