This has been a busy week. Started out with Dylan throwing up on Sunday! We missed church, but he recooped quickly & went to school on Tuesday. Presently, I'm trying to get him all ready for his trip to California on Saturday.

Back to yesterday...the kids were soooo whiny yesterday & really not listening to me at all. Dylan ended up going to bed at 6:30. He slept for 12 hours, so he was tired! I've started a blessing list for the kids & I. Everyday, we're going to think of one or two new things that God has blessed us with and we're making a list that's on the fridge. I put "Jasmin & Dylan". Dylan said "world" & then surprised me. He said, "God gave us His Bible, His Word." Very excited that he has a love for the Bible. It helped put a very nice ending to a rough day.

Speaking of rough times...I've been struggling with negativity in my life. Mostly in my thoughts. I dwell on the negative instead of focusing on so many blessings I have. My friend, Christy (a true blessing), reminded me of Philippians 4. It's speaks of rejoicing in the Lord, thinking on good things, and praying thru difficult circumstances. I think that chapter will be my focus of study for a few weeks. If I see the glass as half empty, will my children as well?
