My baby boy is 6

Today is Alex's 6th birthday. We had a great party at the splash pad. He had a few friends, it is hard to have a party this time of year, many people are out of town. But, his best buddies were there and we had a blast. He got lots of good stuff and we were able to talk about how blessed God has made our lives. I love when there are real teachable moments. Then we went and spent his money at the game store (his favorite thing PSP2), and had dinner at Ci Cis pizza (he got to choose). I am so blessed to have this wonderful little boy in my life. Alex is such a fun boy, he is hard headed, head strong, full of himself, and a full time job, but I would not change one crazy moment. I can not wait to see what God has planned for his life. I can not wait until all of the court stuff is over and he is legally my son. He is already my son, but I just can not wait till the day that I have a birth certificate that has my name as his mother and Terry as his father. We are having a party when that happens, so look for that soon (my biggest prayer). Please join me in this prayer. We are getting closer to the court date (July 18). I know that my God has this under control but my human self wants it all done now. I can not even imagine my life with out him. He is such a full of life, wild man, and I love him more than anything. I am a blessed woman to have a wonderful husband, a beautiful young woman as my daughter, and a live wire son. Thank you God for my family. Today was a great day.

Boy has this been a busy week so far. VBS in the morning and learning the business the rest of the afternoon. VBS has been fun, you know you are old when you miss the flags being marched in. But, I do miss the pledging of the flags and the bible. Don't get me wrong I have loved everything, and it is awesome to see my son learn about Gods word. And, the best part for me is to see all of the youth that have given a part of their summer to pour in to the lives of young children. This blows me away to see all of the youth up and at the church ready to go at 8am. It is one thing for an adult to give of their time, but for teenagers wow. I am proud of my daughter and all of the students there.
As far as the business I am still in shock, I can not believe this is my new business. I would be lying is I said I was not overwhelmed, but I am learning and I am so grateful to God for this opportunity in my life. Thank you God for being in control of my life and moving me out of the way and pulling me out of my comfort zone. This is such a God thing it has completely blow me away to see God work out things that I just knew could not work. That is what I get for thinking lol. Stay posted for more updates on whats to come.

Faith

I am in the last week of work. I can not believe this is happening. I have four days left at my job. I am definitely stepping out on faith. I start learning the business next Tuesday, and I will be in there from then on. I am ready to get in there and see how it all works. I will keep you updated on how it goes. Also, I want to remind those who read my blog to keep our July 18th court date in your prayers.

New Direction

Well many things have changed in my world over the past two weeks. God has truly changed directions for my life. Terry and I will be taking over a prepared food business in M'boro. Wow!!!!! It is totally a God thing how this whole thing has happened. I still have not wrapped my brain around this. But, it is going to happen. We will be taking over July 1st, it is part of a franchise right now and we are going to drop them and do it on our own. So, we will not have our new name until August 1st. We are going to be Kitchen 2 Kitchen, so every one needs to come and buy food from me. I will post more info later. Just pray that all goes through will no problems.
