Proms and Potty Training


It's been a crazy couple of months. I have been getting ready for my sons graduation and also potty training my 2 year old. My brain is bouncing from one side of my head to the other. There have been Proms and Play dates; Graduation Parties and kids Birthday Parties. I get to experience both ends of the spectrum all at the same time. It sure is an eye opener. I need Gods wisdom for each task that he has for me to do. Being mom to 2 children at such different ages is challenging and exciting. I would not be able to do it with out Gods wisdom and his grace. Here is my son and his sister before he left to go pick up his prom date. My daughter thought he was taking her to the prom.

Update 7/1/07 I wanted to share with you the book I used in potty training my daughter. It has been a great help to me in knowing when to push and when not to push. And for my daughter; she wants these things to be on her terms. Potty training will be done when they are physically ready and when you are mentally ready. Knowing that will save you so much anguish and time. The book is called "The No-Cry Potty Training Solution: Gentle ways to Help your Child Say No to Diapers" by Elizabeth Pantley.
So you don't think I forgot my son, he was given a book by one of his teachers called "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper. I haven't read it yet but I have heard good things about it. It's not just for teenagers. I'll tell you more after Jules and I have read it. So check them both out. It's worth it.

Satisfied in HIM

This is from Pastor John Piper http://www.desiringgod.org/. I saw it on another Blog and wanted to pass it on. He says a lot in this video and it may be a bit overwhelming for some of us to hear, but please watch it with an open heart and allow the Lord to show you what Pastor Piper is saying. Please, please if anyone has any questions send me a comment and I will do my best to help. God Bless.
