Reading it makes me miss you and feel closer to you at the same time. My other blessing is my family and friends. Their love and support is constantly amazing me.

You know I have enough bags/purses that I should have a closet for them, too….might have to work on it! So, I am just sending a note to tell you that I love keeping up with you by reading what’s been laid on your heart or what’s been flying around in your pretty little head!!
So, no purse needed here!
Thinking about blessings…this spring like weather and knowing that spring is right around the corner (hopefully!).

We are thrilled with him and his family and can hardly wait to see how God uses him in our church.

While attempting to get out the door on time with the girls, my older daughter, Kyndall, was being extremely difficult. It got so bad that I spent the car ride to school (which is only 1.3 miles) disciplining her for her behavior. I threatened to keep her home from karate lessons tonight; not let her attend a play date today; and told her (which I secretly hoped would work) that I was going to discuss her behavior with her dad and he would decide her punishment. Nothing, she would not apologize, she had no reaction at all. This weighed heavy on my heart as I dropped her off for school. While driving to work I was overwhelmed with an urgency to call her classroom and speak to her. I knew if I didn’t my day would be consumed with thoughts of our fight. More importantly, I was concerned how Kyndall’s day would be. While walking into work I called her Kindergarten classroom and spoke to her. I told her how sorry I was that we had argued and that I hope she had a good day. We ended the conversation with an I Love You. God blessed me this morning by guiding me towards forgiveness and compassion for my daughter.
