I asked God, "What do you have for me?"
He responded.
These words were telegraphed across my insides:
"I have a husband who will adore you. I have children who will rise up and call you blessed. I have adventure and opportunity for you. And it's all yours for the taking."
I asked, "How do I get that?"
He said, "By making time every day to spend with me."

Today I asked God the same thing.
He said, "Same as yesterday."
He is the simple and wonderful Creator.
He has the same wonderful plan today as He did yesterday, regardless of what happened overnight.

Today my two oldest boys come home from camp.
Today is Saturday and they have been gone since Monday. Monday night my younger boys cried real tears because they missed their brothers so much. They haven't cried since and have, actually, been getting along nearly perfectly!
They have little conversations at dinner, they hang out on the trampoline, talking, they build bridges and train tracks in harmony. It has been so lovely and fun to witness. They are 4 & 5 and I can see how I hope they are at 14 & 15, 24 & 25, 34 & 35...
I have loved it.

Yesterday we picked up the boys from summer camp. I dropped Noah off with a pair of socks and a pair of shoes on his feet.
I picked him up with 2 socks on his feet and 1 shoe in his hand.
How did this child clean his bunk then walk all over camp, to breakfast, to who knows where, then get on a bus, and come home with no shoes on? His socks were so dirty they looked like little brown shoes.
Maybe that's how.
I am sure those socks had been worn multiple times.
I checked the "lost and found" bag from their bunk and was almost knocked over by the smell.
How is it that young boys smell so bad?
But I'm glad they're home.
Despite the sudden fighting over the Wii. :/

Today was a rough one at work. Then to come home to four sweaty boys and no a/c!?
Ahhh, the joys of home ownership.
I'm not worried though. We're gonna be just fine.

I love the quiet mornings when the boys are all still asleep and it's just me. They are my favorites! I was asked by a good friend to think of some inspiring words for a memorial service.
What an honor. I am blessed by this.
Now to begin thinking...

It's hot. And there's a "boil order" from the city of Broken Arrow regarding any and all water to be consumed. It's a run-thru-the-sprinkler kinda day for my kids...AND for me, but there's a water ban! I guess our sweat will have to keep us cool.
My sister just invited me to spend a few days in Breckenridge with her at the end of this month!!! Joyous vacation! Not that I need it...but it sure sounds nice!
Is it just me, or am I particularly blessed with wonderful women around me?

Today was excruciating. Hot hot hot. Thank God the A/C will be new tonight.
Do you think Corrie ten Boom was right when she wrote,
"This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see."
I often wonder how my past is preparing my future.
Wonderful Friday! It's always my work Monday though.
