Last night & this morning I have listened to stories about 2 sets of brothers who have gone on to do wonderful things. Last night while watching the Olympics there were 2 brothers racing in speedskating. Can you imagine the pride there Mommy must have felt - 2 kids to make it into the Olympics. Just think I am still working on getting 2 boys to stop picking noses, much less make it into the Olympics. Secondly, I snuck into church a little late today & they began to introduce the guest preacher & he was an amazing Irish preacher who has traveled the world preaching the Gospel. And guess what?? His brother is a wonderful preacher as well who has a worldwide apologetics ministry. God worked through that Mom in beautiful ways. When she gets to the Heaven I know God will look at her & say "Well done my good and faithful servant." So, yes, I have goals of having a clean house & recruiting 34 VBS teachers in the next 3 months; but in reality I need to focus on long-term goals of raising 3 kids that glorify the Lord no matter what they do. Sure I am sure I have joked before about all 3 of them being docotors & AU athletes, but in all honesty it is not as important what they do, but how they do it. Baylor asked the other day if she could be a mom when she grew up & I told her she woudl be a great mom if that is what God had planned for her life & she asked how/when she would know what God had planned for her life???? I told her she would know when God was ready for her to know & no matter what it was she needed to do it with a beautiful heart for ministry. She said that was fine she could be a missionary, but she really hopes she gets to be a mom after she is an AU cheerleader. (The girls has big plans)
So I guess I needed to write this down as a reminder for me & later for the kiddos to read. At the end of our journey we all need to strive to hear those words - "Well done my good and faithful servant."

PS Did anybody pick up on the fact that Bay did not question the fact of cheerleading? And she is still convinced she is going to marry her sweet friend Cotton. Whew, one less thing for this mommy to worry about.
