And we are off....

Christmas has gone....New Year celebrations are over.....memories made and shared with friends....and so begins another year.  This new time is here, new lessons for me....yet the same.....nothing is new under the sun you know.

This year I am being pulled out.  Why, I don't know....how, nope...don't have an answer for that one either. All I know is that my Lord is pulling me out of many things I think are my favorite things....this is exciting...unnerving....and I won't lie, a little frustrating at times.  I like plans, I like order, I like to know what is coming or at least know a bit of what is coming.  But this time around, I know only that His path for me is not one I have seen before.  Nothing familiar here.  And it is good.  It is good because I know my Savior loves me...I know my ways aren't even a smidge close to His ways...I know because He is good.

So, to prepare(HA) I made meals.  Seems so small but in our busy lives I want to do something.  Something that honors the food He has provided....something healthier than the ever present and easy fast food world we live in.....something that is less likely to pad my backside...he he he.....something to provide family time together between lessons, games, practice, tutoring, training, work, you know....the little things. :)

Jared's lessons start in earnest this week.  We did begin before our break time but will begin 3 days a week this week.  He is learning already and retaining some.  He has already talked to his trainer about Jesus....about his desire to sing in a band one day....singing songs about Christ.  He has talked about church with her.  He has shared an amazing blessing from Christ with her(but that blessing is for another post).  I am praying his joy in all things God shares with him continues and that his trainer see Christ shining through all of us!
