Well, it's been kinda long since I've taken time to write. I have some people reminding me that I need to get busy typing again! It's not that I don't enjoy keeping up a blog! I do enjoy it! It's just that it is hard to find time these days. Maybe I need to straighten up my priorities, eh?!:) I just wonder how many people even read it! I had given it only to certain people. Later on I found out maybe half of the people don't even read it. Oh, they did a few times but they don't follow up on it. You know what, that doesn't exactly encourage me to keep writing! If I'm going to bother to take the time then I would hope somebody reads it. I still want it to be private and only for certain people, those whom I select but.......well.....anyway, I know at least 2 people are reading it and I guess it's worth it if those 2 are at least! You know who you are, so I won't mention names!:)
My fingers hurt. I have two cracks in my hand. One on each hand. It hurts to type as well as every time I bump those spots, which is like constantly! So why am I typing when it hurts? Well, I finally have a bit of time to do this so I just have to grin and bear it! What does a person do for dry hands. It's worse at my new job because I am forever changing diapers and of COURSE I wash my hands after each change! I'm forever wiping things up so that doesn't help matters any. I clean every day and that is rude for my hands too:( I will have to find out what I can do for my hands besides putting lotion on often!
Well, this coming Saturday, Lord willing, I am having some friends over for a cookie bake/exchange. That should be fun! And I'm having a Bible study here and then in the evening I am going to my family Christmas dinner. That will be a fun day! Sunday is full too, I am going to church, then practice for a Christmas program that I'm helping with in the church, then go Christmas caroling on the streets of Lancaster, then help put on the program in my church Sunday night. Wow, I hadn't realized it's gonna be that full! Looks like one of those weekends that will have no rest for the weary. But I should be okay I think! I don't know when I'll wash but I'll worry about that then I guess!
Next week should be easier on me I believe! I have off for Thursday and Friday. But I'm already packing those days full! Thursday I have some errands to do as well as visit with a married friend I have not seen in ages! Friday I plan to spend with a widow friend who is like family to me. So my special days off are taken up already! But it's with good things, things that don't just benefit me!
Life is not all good. I wrote that title because I want to focus only on the good! I have had some struggles recently and they were nasty ones that were hard to shake off! But as far as I know, for the moment anyway, Me and God got it all taken care of. But even as I speak, I'm sure that spiteful old enemy is seeing what he can come up with next, nasty old devil. I sure can't wait to enter that realm where he will not be able to mess with me! Maranatha! I used to ask God to wait to rapture His church til I get married, I want so badly to experience married life and I know there won't be marriage in heaven! However, I fully believe that our marriage to God and all the other pleasures there will far exceed any joys that an earthly marriage can bring forth! So with that being said, I am ready to be beamed up to my Abba this very moment! Even so come, Lord Jesus!
Work is going well. I really like my job. I do wish someone would give me advice on how to get the children to respect me more. I know they like me but they don't respect me. This meaning that they don't listen to me very well. I don't know if I need to be more firm. I don't want to be this meanie old ogre that is forever putting them on time out but at the same time if I let everything slide now, will I ever be able to establish order and immediate obedience? This is not a boot camp, but it surely would be nice to hear a "Yes Dawn" when I ask them to do something instead of a "NO, NO, NO"!!! Little Evan used to say "okay" so sweetly alot of the time but more and more I hear him copy his brother and say NO when I ask him to do something. Even simple things like when I ask him to come here he simply ignores me and doesn't come or he says no. I am forever running after him because he simply don't listen. And at home I was taught that when you are told to stop something, you do it immediately, we got punished if we did it one or two more times, like say you were making an obnoxious noise or hitting someone or spraying water or whatever it was we had to stop PROMPTLY. Well, these boys don't know the definition of obedience or PROMPT!! ARGH! I do hope I can come up with something to help them listen! I can't lay a hand on them so I need to be creative in other ways........
Well, I must close now and I promise I will try my best to write again sooner!!!
