I don't deserve my kids

Ok, I will admit it right now, I am not a very thankful person.  I complain, A LOT.  About my husband, my kids, my life.  Those are sins and because I am doing them, I am missing out on what God wants me to see.  Well, He opened my eyes yesterday to show me how abundantly he has blessed me.

Yesterday, after my post on Joshua's new school, we had an interesting conversation in the car. (J=Joshua, L=me)
J: Why is the American flag flown higher than the Christian flag (side note: a flag with a cross on it they have at his Lutheran preschool)
L: I don't know.  Pause. You know at your new school they won't have a Christian flag.
J: Why not?
L: Because not everyone there believes in Jesus and follows him.
J: Can I tell people at my new school about Jesus?
L: (getting choked up) Of course you can Joshua.  That would be a great thing to do.

See?? I don't deserve that boy!  Please pray with me that our family will be a blessing to the new school!

Here are some recent pics of the boys in case you want to see them.

Joshua's school update

I am a horrible blogger as the two people who read this site know, but I wanted to share with you that Joshua got into a Selective Enrollment School in CPS, which he will be attending next year.  Praise God!  As Andy and I prayed over next year, we really felt that Skinner North would be the best fit for Joshua, not even knowing that much about the school, and that is where God wanted him to be!  We are hoping to be salt and light for Jesus at that school and will see why God has put us there
