God Is GREAT

It is 8 pm and I sit here listening to Maroon 5 while my family sleeps. My daughter is sounds asleep in her crib. My husband was just praying with our son in his bed and now there is silence coming from that room. We are all exhausted. It has been a very busy day in our home. I was up to wish my husband well on his first day of school and have been going non-stop. I feel such a sense of accomplishment tonight that I can't decide whether to go for a walk or have a beer and relax. I am really leaning toward the later of the two but my body really needs a walk and not a beer. Decisions, decisions. . .

So, God is GREAT. Today he answered so many prayers.
1. I signed up 200 2nd graders for a free field trip to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay.
2. I faxed my requests for transcripts from 3 universities for my pay raise.
3. I completed health care paper work so my husband can be insured under Teachers Health Trust.
4. I vacuumed, overwhelming dog hair GROSS.
5. I played with the kids and built enormous towers.
6. Finished semi-organizing my craft closet and put all of Raine's hanging clothes into one closet not 3.
7. Got my plane ticket to Buffalo; thanks to Jennifer, my angel who gave up her free southwest rewards ticket so I could go home!
8. Dove into my reading program and got some plans made for my 2nd grade class.
9. Printed out library titles for my classroom library; something I have wanted to do for 2 years!
10. Took the kids swimming and visited with some friends.
11. Got a phone call about Reece being accepted into the typical peer preschool program at my school. He gets to go with his friends Riley & Ellie. My dear friend Jess with take Reece home with her, feed him & watch him nap. HUGE answer to prayer there! HE IS AMAZING :)
12. Cooked a delicious meal for my hard working man along with some yummy 1st day of school chocolate chip cookies.

After such a productive day I believe my body deserves to have a beer and relax. Maybe I'll read a magazine or watch a cheesy TV show. PRAY & PRAY often cuz God will answer your prayers and you will find peace and joy in your life. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have provided me with today.
