This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)

Stander
I am a stander. I am standing in prayer for my children. I won't give up, give in, or give out before they are saved, fully following the Lord, and home in Heaven.
I am a stander. I refuse to listen to my children's rebellious words or the discouragement of those around me. I will speak the truth in love, discipline in firmness, and pray in faith.
I am a stander. I will not lower God's standards but trust His Word. I will not violate His covenant, approve what He hates, doubt His goodness, or question His promises.
I am a stander. I won't quarrel, quit, or acquiesce to my feelings or my fears. I won't dwell on my failures but count my blessings and see all of my successes as from the hand of the Heavenly Father.
I am a stander. I have made my choice, set my face, and will finish the race as a victor. I am standing for my children, my home, my church, and my nation on the Rock and in the Word.
(Pastor Hayes Wicker)
Our Pastor wrote these affirmations and I think that they should be done daily.

My Cousin
Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forevermore But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forget Fly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Go now, find the light. (Celine Dion)
Rest in peace Susie, I love you.
Rest in peace Susie, I love you.

Planets
Sometimes plans change.... I planned for the girls to make a planet book after our lesson on Mercury today, but they asked if they could color and cut the planets out and I agreed, then they gathered bunches of pillows and created a rocket ship in their bedroom and then they grabbed the tape and started taping planets all over an now they are zooming through space at warp speed with Donkey in tow. Gotta love the flexibility of homeschooling.

Mother
My mother was a woman who had an intense passion for her children, she always made me feel loved and important. On this mother's day I want to thank my precious mother for planting the seed of motherhood in me. I have never done anything else that is so complex, challenging, and rewarding. Some days my heart aches for her touch and to hear her savory advice. Some days I feel so cheated that she has not been a part of my motherhood journey, but then I take a deep breath and dry my tears and remember that she spent her whole motherhood training me for my time, and for that I am thankful. Happy Mother's Day.

Time
As a mom I have learned to read the girls pretty well, and today I just sensed that my Rylee just needed a little alone mommy time. We rarely get the opportunity to do this, but today after swimming in the pool, and Bailey not wanting to unglue herself from her daddy washing his car, I asked Rylee if she wanted to make the dessert, and of course it was instant smile and a feeling of specialness. She is such a good little helper!! Everyone needs a little special time once in a while.....

Pico De Gallo
I took the girls this past weekend to our local farmer's market, and we purchased some delicious fresh fruits and veggies. Eating fresh and healthy was only part of my motivation, Pico de Gallo was the main motivation, that said I plucked the freshest tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, lime, and cilantro, and whipped up a batch of this delightful stuff!!! Pass the chips please.
