A Favorite Thing

I have found or rediscovered a favorite thing to do. This morning Jamie watched the girls while I went to the park to walk/run. I've been taking Emery with me 2 days a week and walking with my sister, but today it was me, God and some awesome music. It's been awhile since I've even had some time alone, much less outside enjoying a perfect fall morning in north Georgia. It was the perfect time of worship and prayer for me, a great gift.

I have been thinking about how and what we are teaching the girls about obedience and respect. We've had our share of those days lately where it seems like all I do is tell them what NOT to do. I was praying about it all today and I feel like we are going to try to shift off the negative and focus on what it means to love others, serve others, and bless others. While still disciplining where needed. I think we have tried to do this before, but not with a plan of how to teach the positive. Other things that I was reminded of today was how big God is. Sometimes I get so focused on the details I confuse myself about the big picture.
