Should I do this?

Hey,

If you are reading this blog...please respond...I need feedback.

I am thinking about trying to write a children's book for little girls called
"Am I beautiful?'.

It would be for children ages 5 to maybe 8 or 9.

It would deal with the beauty that God sees in us...not the world.

I just think we need to start empowering our girls early to combat what the world says to them.

This is just one of those things that popped in my head and I want to make sure that it is from God...not me.

Here's My New Address

In case you are ever looking for me and can't find me at work or home...I may be at my new favorite place...Mario's Spa in Aurora. Wally had given me a cerificate last Christmas and I kept forgetting to use it. I finally made an appointment and went today. What a perfect time to go. Today was another difficult day in Ministry and I was really looking forward to being pampered.

As soon as you walk into the Spa...you begin to feel relaxed. The lights are dim and the music is very calming. For one hour, I was pampered!!! My hands and feet were massaged, I recieved a facial with hot towels while I laid in the most comfortable bed. I felt like I was on a cloud. I listened to the ocean and birds chirping. (what a combination).

I wish I had the money to make a spa appointment every Sunday afternoon. Maybe I should include it in my budget proposal for the elders.

I once thought my love language was service. Not anymore...my love language is Mario's.

Breakfast of Champions

Wally and I have a routine that works well for us each morning. While I am showering and laying out the boys clothes, he fixes them breakfast. This morning, the Lord woke me early for some much needed quiet time and prayer. I decided that I would fix the boy's breakfast this morning. When Alex arrived to the table...he was in tears. I messed up the routine and he wanted to have his usual breakfast with Daddy. Wally came to the table and a smile returned to Alex' face. I decided to join them just to see what went on during this special time. Basically, they both ate quietly and every once in awhile would exchange a grin. Alex would ask Wally questions and Wally would respond. I also noticed that Alex would copy everything Wally did. Each time Wally took a bite...alex took a bite and so on. I realized that this was a special time for Alex. It wasn't about wonderful conversation or the need to answer thought provoking questions. It was about being with Dad and learning to become like Dad.

I am glad that they have this relationship. I now ask myself...maybe Wally should fix all the meals.
