gosh-i look like my brother..if you knew my brother you'd say the same thing!..that's totally the gardner face...and yes-i was totally trying to get her chin up to take a picture with me...des-per-ate to be cool with the kids
I am learning and asking God to teach me to be uncontrolled. To not have the paralyzing need to control and know everything. Dear God, "please help me to release and not need to be in control." I will admit that I asked that he do this in the nice way, instead of the major humbling way!!
And with this prayer, he has done this recently. Shown me, given me the calmness across my mind and body, I promise I heard..."just relax, ask me to help you release, just relax, you don't need to control." But, and a BIG BUT, with this-recently-I must have forgiveness for someone...yeah-I don't know if I'm feelin that yet. I suppose I'm thinking if I post this and people read this, there will be thougths and prayers..just little ones, to remind me to relax and enjoy Jesus in my day and the things that he is in. And maybe forgive..but man, I'm jsut not feeling this. I don't remember forgiveness and smiling and actually meaning it towards someone being so hard.

If you know me..you know I do not do this. But I was just shown the reasoning as to why I should learn the new language of the Americas...and so...I will now begin to learn this language and try to find the beauty in this. Someone told me..."I"m no racist, I used to think if you are in my country, you speak my language," and then he said, "but that's not gonna happen, they're not gonna change..it's reality...gotta get used to it." I think...he's gotta a point. Gracias.
fun cupcakes-brought by melissa!..oh, my they were sooo tasty!
