something new

yesterday we did our normal things we got up ate breakfast and got ready for church. Today McKenna is very excited because we went to a birthday party. That is the day I realized that McKenna is just like her mom. She's not afraid of much. She told me all day that she wasn't going to climb the wall. I looked to the back of the room yesterday and there was McKenna putting on a safety belt. She figured it out with a little help and then she climbed the wall. She kept asking Mommy will you be here to catch me if I fall. She must have asked this 3 times. Each time I reassured her that I was right by here. Guess what McKenna fell off the wall. But her mommy was there to catch her.

Guess what how many times do we fall off the wall and God is there to catch us? How many times do we test him to ask if he is there? How many times do we yell out in frustration and God catches us and holds us close.

He was there all the time!! He was there all the time. My mind is going blank this early in the morning!! I can't remember the rest of the words.

But thank you Lord!!!!
You are there all the time.

Valentines Day

One week ago my little girl sits down on the couch crosses her leg and sits like a little lady and says Mom what do you want for Valentines day and I told her she didn't need to get me anything because I had her. She was pretty upset with me for saying that. So I told her she could get me some flowers and that was enough for me. Thinking it would never happen!!

Today I was in my office working and I was told I had something up front. I walked up front and there was a carnation and a rose from my little peabody. It totally made my day and reminded me that love from such a little girl had such a big heart.

As McKenna finished up our Valentines that we made for Grandma and Grandpa and also for her Godparents. She was so determined to do it her way. I just sat there watching and smiling. She did it her way!! She was so excited as she told me a story about the cards she was decorating for everyone. I realized she is learning so much at school. She told me a story about the bee and the nectar and what it was for.

I love my little girl!!!!
