he repents?

saturday night was quite moving here at our house. after a pretty non-adventurous day we were doing bedtime. i was tucking in mapboy when all of a sudden he starts repenting for his sassy talk, bad behavior, bad attitude and tells me he understands i'm just doing my job and that his is to obey. he tells me i'm the best mom around and how thankful he is for me! wow!!!! did he really just say all of that??? i give him a big hug and kiss and head to princess...

princess sings her songs and starts to pray. as she prays, and can i just say this girl covers everything in her prayers, she ends with asking Jesus to come live in her heart!! now, being a mom, i'm a little overwhelmed here. we hadn't talked about this at all with her. i mean she has heard it i'm sure and we talk about Jesus all the time. so when she says amen i ask her all sorts of questions and sure enough - she totally knows what she did and why she wanted to do it!!

i come down stairs all weepy. first mapboy repents and then princess prays! princess was all grins in the morning as she shared with daddy and her teacher at church. she told grandparents with a big grin....but mapboy...well let's just say he must not have gotten the true meaning of repent. it looks like we still have some work to do there:)

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
