on tuesday, it is every kids dream, presents that they have been looking at can finally be opened.
Why is it that satan tries to steal our joy in the little things? My husband and I got into an argument because I went and bought a memory card for my camera, which I had told him he could get me for christmas. I guess I was in the wrong, but my thinking was I could store the 10 pictures I have on it, and be able to take pictures on sat. ( the kids are going to a christmas party and santa will be there). He blew up and said he wasn't getting me anything for christmas, because I took his joy away. Now, if I don't get him something for christmas, then he's going to be upset, so it seems like a no win situation.

It seems that we are barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck stinks, esp. around the holidays and then in Jan. we have Henry and Aliyah's birthdays also. But, God has provided everything we have needed, money has been tight at times this past year, but we have had enough to pay all the bills, buy food, and such. It's amazing to me to look back on 2007 and look at all the blessings and how far we have come.

In this past year, I had the opportunity to help both my children ask Jesus into their hearts! Talk about a humbling experience! They both came to me with their decsion and Aliyah has shown a lot of difference.

She wanted a snack after daycare 1 one day, I told her no, so she kicked me, I spanked her and put her in timeout on her bed for 5 min. all this time she is crying and asking me not to tell daddy. I told her If you can lay quietly, I won't. As soon as Nick got home , she comes running out the room crying and tells on herself. I couln't help but laugh. Later as I thought about it, I could see God at work. she knew she had done something wrong and it bugged her. You cant' tell me that children are not in tune to the Lord.

We finally got an answer for Henry's behaviour problem. He has ADD, he has started on medication and does so much better in school, church,, and everywher else.
okay, i have talked long enough, this will probably be my last blog till after the new year, so everyone have a merry christmas and happy new year.
