I listened to talk today that hit home. The person talking said we need to ask God once for something and then act like you are going to receive that blessing you asked for. He talked about praising God for future blessings. He used the example of a child asking over and over again for something they aren't ready for but something you are going to give them at a future date. He talked about how annoying that would be. I am going to try this. For the next few weeks I haven't decided how long I going to ask in prayer for a specific thing one time and then act and pray like I already have the blessing. He said it much better then I did.
Another thing we listened to is the concept of not getting frustrated with things we can't control the example he used. We are stuck so we have two choices get upset or roll with it. Just so happened at that time then we were stuck on the freeway so it worked as a good object lesson for the kids.
Today I took the little people to a pool we had never been to before. IT had a tube that I took Andrew down. He had so much fun. The older kids went down the tube about 30 times. The whole thing was quite the adventure from the pool being shut down due to some kid throwing up to Andrew's horrible diaper (luckily not in the pool) and the pouring rain. They still ran the tube in the rain and only shut it down when the lightening started.. I also had a semi breakdown and called my mom and asked her to take the kids for a few hours tomorrow. Yup she is pretty amazing. She is also is going to help me get the van from the mechanic.
So many little things have happened this week. Andrew has decided he doesn't like wearing a diaper if it isn't totally dry but doesn't want to use the toilet, Fun times! I have hope that I was able to potty train the first two and some how I will get through these two, I have a feeling Luke may be the easiest but we will see. I am picking up the van tomorrow, I have really missed it stuffing all the kids into the car is doable but not the greatest. I was asked to step down as the service leader at MOPS, I will be able to be able to help but not actually be a leader, My frustration with it is I was totally honest about who I am and it is just coming to a head now because of a Facebook post somebody saw, But I went back through months of posts and I can not figure out which one she was talking about, Oh well! More time for the kids and stuff.
