God is so Good!

Ramblings and thoughts for me, You may want to skip this one! ;-)
Just to remind me that God isn't just in the big things he is in each tiny detail of our lives...
Yesterday wasn't a lot different from any other day at our house, we always have something going...
Yesterday after I dropped the girls off at school and got to work I had a text from a friend that has a daughter ~ that is friends with Kacey. I depend on this friend a lot.. To help with the tos and froms since I'm in Huntsville during the day.. I'm so grateful for her and for God. He has worked out all the details! She was taking Kacey to the Huntsville Athletic Center (HAC) yesterday for Tennis practice. But the Varsity match was not cancelled so she was going to that since her son is on Varsity... so I text Kacey and tell her to go to extended day not car line... Great settled... not so much. Then I have another friend visit and she said her girls were going to HAC with another friends Mom, just let Kacey go with them, well.... she will not care, call her. So I do and I have a new friend and once again God works out the details, to perfection... I wonder why I stress sometimes instead of pray he has been so gracious this year to work out even the smallest of details... Thank you Lord.
So if you wonder why we let our 13 year old have a cell phone is is why! For me! With Basketball and Tennis she stays after school so much it is for my piece of mind.
So, Kacey went on Car bell and Stephanie carried her to HAC, then she brought her to Arab and Angie picked her girls up and mine and dropped off mine at the elem where Grace was playing along with another Tennis player for her parents to meet! After work Greg picked up Grace, carried her to get a snack and change and straight to the game. I left work met Clay picked up his girls and went to Grace's game! God is really teaching me trust and humbleness, see I'm pretty prideful and like to handle things myself I don't ask for help often but in the last few months I've learned that I can offer to help as well and I'm learning it takes a village, if I can help, then I help and if I need help, I can ask it doesn't make me weak or less of a Mom. Like last Monday when Mom and Dad took Kacey to the orthodontist and then met me before Grace's game where I picked up Clay's kids, see a village and I've learned instead of being stressed and embarrassed about needing help, I look for ways I can help someone else. God is good!

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Thursday!

Last night was Grace's last game...

She had 6 points, they lost by 5 but she played her hardest and had one of the best games of the season, she has learned so much this year and loves playing for her Daddy.

Daddy and Grace talking it over at a time out.

Grace had to play against some of her friends... Here is her and Beth!

Shea and Kailynn stayed with us last night. They were so good at the game.

Papaw and Mamaw and Kailynn!

Once we got home, Greg studied for the Math/English test with Kacey.

Then a DOL and Spelling with Grace and I well I played hardly seems fair huh?



I also got so sweet flowers to jump start Valentine's day, Thank you Greg!

Don't mind the mess, remember it was a play zone!

Hi, My name is Paige and I'm an addict!

They say the first step is confession.... Well there it is. I am addicted.... to what you might ask?

Well I'm addicted to Jesus... I love Jesus and I love learning more how to be more Christ Like.

I am addicted to my family... I can't get enough of them. Especially my sweet Husband!

I'm addicted to Diet Coke, I can't go a day without it, especially a Sonic Diet Coke with Extra Ice! It makes my heart happy! Happy Hour is music to my ears!

And Fresh Salsa and guacamole... I eat it everyday, sometimes twice a day, I have some in my little fridge at work as I type. LOVE IT! I eat it with Baked chips.

I'm addicted to ketchup...

I'm addicted to reading... Right now I'm in 4 books... Yep 4.

The Bible ~ a Christian romance Novel I am a huge Lori Wick fan! Happily ever after is the only books I like to read. ~ a Book on CD (Beth Moore's new Insecurities so long you've been a bad friend) I love it because I can listen on the way to and from work... It is great I'm on chapter 5.
~ And last but not least Sacred marriage by Gary Thomas, I loved the Sacred Influence so Greg and I are reading this one together at night... and I love it!

I get too involved with them at times and my house gets a little neglected but I've learned that if it is half way picked up and my family is happy the rest is all okay!!

So, time for confession ~ what are you addicted too?

Weekend Wrapup

Last but certainly far from least, Grace and the children's choir sang at church Sunday.
I always love to hear them sing and I'm so thankful for the ones that work with them every week!

Weekend Review - a little late

Friday night we had a wonderful, much needed fun night. With the guys gone in separate directions Kristi and I enjoyed a evening of laughing/pizza and kids. Love it, and hope to repeat it again soon! We learned we are never too old to laugh ourselves silly!
Grace and Lawson, get lost in her room playing for hours and Ethan took a long nap!
Some Lawson/Grace handiwork! Bendaroos can keep kids busy for hours!
On Sunday Kacey's team went to Tuscaloosa for the Auburn/Alabama ladies basketball game. The trip was sponsored by the boosters!
They went sporting their new Lady county champ shirts!

Humoring me for a shot!
Kacey and Paige!
More to post later! Happy Wednesday.

Not


Welcome to Not Me Monday ~ Being honest and living to tell about it.
I did NOT about fall out in the floor this past weekend when my Husband created his own Facebook account! Nope Not me! We did NOT sit in the LR over the weekend each with a laptop in hand and chat with each other on our accounts Of course NOT us, that would be ridiculous!
I did NOT enjoy a completely wonderful weekend where we were able to rest more than usually. Well at least 3/4 of us!!!
I did NOT spend Friday night with my wonderful best friend and we did NOT totally act like two 12 year old girls looking at pictures/fb accounts/giggling and talking for hours. We did NOT have a blast! We also did NOT eat Pizza. I'm way to mature and healthy for all that!
I did NOT go to meet, my oldest friends and parents in town Saturday with old sweats and no makeup to declare we were also grocery shopping before we headed home. NOPE, not me I take to much pride in appearance to do such a thing.
I have not read 4 books in less than two weeks. I'm too busy to do something like that... I need do be productive!
I am NOT sick of rain, and we've NOT been rained out of Tennis everyday since last Wednesday! NOPE not us.
Hope you are having a great Monday!
