Day 167- thankful...

I'm thankful today for:
* a day of rest
* visiting the Deanna Rose Farmstead with Caleb
* dinner with Al (even if it was for a school meeting)
* Aunt Mary for watching Caleb when we didn't have anyone else
* being able to wear workout clothes to work

Day 166- Currently Reading & dreaming a little

Currently reading: The Secret Life of Bees...
I know I'm a little behind the times, but I'm excited to read for pleasure again (not saying I shouldn't be studying or planning treatment sessions for next week)







Sidenote- I'm starting to dream a little with my new job. I think that's a good sign. I have a ton to learn and even get acquainted with everything, but here are a few ideas for my possible involvement with CPTA:
- manage their blog and post regularly
- take over scheduling
- get certified in Peds yoga and do yoga classes
- get them a propio5000 or another device for perturbation training
- help them develop better systems/paperwork for therapists/patients

Day 165- Trip to Arkansas, Back to KC, Starting Work

Got to head to bed soon, but here's a few pics documenting the last week... (there is no pic with mom or stacy with caleb, but rest assured, he loved them very, very much. Stephanie took those pics and I'm waiting on them :). Caleb LOVED waving and nodding at Aunt Stacy and Gran took great care of Caleb the whole time!)

Trying his first lemon- LOVED it

Was sick with his first bought of roseola in Russellville- not sure if you can see the rash that popped up as soon as we got back to KC

Happy to see Daddy

Mom and Caleb on the first day of work/daycare

Caleb's first day of "school" went great! They even sent home some pics of what he did!

Day 157- Monday Meditation

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Psalm 51:10

Alan and I have visited 2 different churches the last two weeks. I'm not sure that we'll attend either, but I think that God spoke to me through both sermons, saying the same thing: I need a clean heart. Both pastors talked about how we need God to cleanse our hearts. Otherwise, we will start growing tiny seeds of resentment, bitterness, selfishness, pride, etc. As I've been busy moving, working, taking care of Caleb, and many other things, I've not taken much time to be with God. I've not spent much time having my heart cleansed and my spirit renewed. I can feel those little seeds starting to spring up in my soul and I hate it! I feel captive to entitlement and selfishness. I need the freedom that I cannot earn or create for myself- the freedom of a clean heart.

Holy Spirit, please come and cleanse my heart. Please take out all that does not honor you. Fill me with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, so that I can serve others. Thank you for giving up your life so that I can be clean.

Day 154- Favs of the week

One fav of this week is Caleb's. I got this little whale pool for $5 at target a couple days ago. He LOVED it! Even though the water was really cold, he played and squealed happily for about 30 minutes! It is a nice depth for a baby, just covering his legs. I have a feeling it's going to be a good friend this summer.


The other fav of my week is my IPad 2. I have really enjoyed this mother's day/"push" present from Alan. I just got the blogpress app and it is much easier to blog now. I'm even trying to use the IPad for my calendar. We'll see if I can break my addiction to paper planners :).
