Sunday update

I enjoyed church very much this morning. Worship was awesome. I have been feeling guilty lately about not liking that God is not going along with my plans for moving when I wanted to. Now that I am seeing he really may have a better idea than I do, I feel much better. I KNOW God always knows what is best and things will work out exactly as they are suppose to, but sometimes I fight it anyway. At times during this summer I have felt like a rebellious kid who KNOWS that their parents are probably right and only want what is best for them, but still see nothing wrong with their way and sulk because they aren’t getting it! I know that’s wrong, it’s just hard to help it sometimes.

Knowing that it is too late for the kids to start school in KY has taken off the pressure for me. I am not getting what I wanted and now that I am sure of that I am more at peace. I still hate the thought of the kids having to change schools during the year, but it will work out. Maybe now whenever we are able to move Luke will be able to come back and help! ;)

We were hoping to go horseback riding with some friends this evening but we are having a thunderstorm right now, so I guess that will be cancelled. I am anxious to see K on a horse as she has been wanting to go for a long time.

B has to have surgery on Wednesday to repair a hole in her eardrum. I will post an update after it is over. We would appreciate prayers. It is a minor outpatient procedure but it still makes you nervous anytime they are put to sleep. Unfortunately her swimming is over for the summer!

We have been having a very lazy, mostly peaceful summer. The kids are having fun playing with friends every day and we go to the library often. I say mostly peaceful because of days like yesterday—we had a house showing so we spent three hours cleaning and trying to get the yard in shape. I had been putting off having the neighbor mow the grass and I regretted it yesterday! E and B both tried to mow some but they did not get much done. I weedeated at noon—that is NOT fun in Texas in July!! I will have to go back to having the grass mowed every week! I HATE yardwork!! Have I even mentioned that before???
