Taking a Sneak Peak

Well, I got on the scales this morning. I have lost 2 pounds. Yeah Me! My official weigh in day Friday. My prayer is that this Sneak Peak is a positive sign for me loosing weight this year!

Courtney informed me this morning that -- she told her kindergarten teacher that she did not want helpers anymore, unless she needs one - she will ask. Her wonderful teacher - which I do love her to death - had provided her with two students each day to help her carry her lunch, walk from place to place, etc. So, maybe we are also seeing a Sneak Peak into Courtney's future of wanting to do things for her self. That would be a great attitude for a child with Cerebral Palsy to have. I pray for that constantly.

Today is my Kelli's 17th birthday! She ate cake for breakfast. We always do that on their birthdays. We talked yesterday and I have this picture of her being a tremendous woman of God. She is so lovely to look at ~ her spirit inside her radiates the love she has for God. Her passion is missions in Africa. It will hurt me for her to go there, but if that is where God wants her ~ I will support it. I love her so much ~

Yesterday ~ I do not think I can count the number of times Sarah told me how cute I was and that she wished she was me. She kept saying I was a great mommy and so cute. She kissed me and huged me all day long. How special is that. She loves me and sees me as the mommy I want to be. It made me feel so special. She is our praise girl - she showers out encouragement and praise to everyone in our whole family. She is so special. I told her I would love to be her.

Then another thing that happened yesterday as I was preparing for the online study session (on www.realliferealhope.com - Monday at 9am and 7pm), I found this amazing song. When I first listened to it I felt like it was God speaking to me, so I listened over and over and then I began praying the words for my daughters. That they would never feel alone and know that God is there with them first and then their sisters and parents. If you want the lyrics, just google Jim Brickman and the song title Never Alone and you will find them. They are awesome.

Hopefully this is a Sneak Peak into the future for my girls.

I am so thankful for my Sneak Peaks yesterday ~ they gave me hope. Thank you, Father!

Love,
Sandra
