Dear Family,
Wasn’t the Harvest party a blast?! My favorite part is when I asked Seth if he would help. He said, “Of course.” I love that he expects to help out when the youth group is. He is growing up so well! I even took some pictures of him smiling at people. Smiling! At PEOPLE! When he was little, as soon as he could walk – if he saw a person he would walk away from them. People baffled him. Now he is OK with ministering to little ones and he interacts with those his age and older just fine. Yay!!
Seth is also gaining confidence as he drives. At least I believe he is. Sunday morning Seth mentioned we should probably take off the “Student driver signs.” I said, “Oh No, we lost one of the three!” He responded that “It’s OK mom, it’s not that big of a deal.” I smiled and felt glad when I asked, “Is it OK because you are growing in confidence and might not need them anymore?” “No, if we die we die.” I had to laugh at this fatalistic view of his driving. I have noticed that he doesn’t unclench his hands from the steering wheel as often as before. He was able to converse with me, and we had great conversations about lunch, God and witnessing. So, I believe Seth is doing great, and I believe he is gaining more confidence. He did mention, “You don’t know the many levels of terror I experience while I am driving.” But he hides this pretty well, and I have confidence in his driving. He’s doing fine. Next time I’ll make him drive towards Edgewater – well see if that happens.
Adriel continues to get great grades and do well. She is chagrined to not have any work these days because of marching band. She does have a bad cold right now so; please pray for her as the entire band is flying to Grand Nationals Trip Bands of America in Indiana. Some people have to be at the airport at 4:30 AM on Wednesday. Goodness! I hope they can sleep on the plane.
I enjoyed having Anthony, Adriel’s boyfriend over several times. Once he brought flowers and another time I believe I tempted them to come with Carmel Corn. Carmel Corn is sooooo yummy!
Bobby and I had a wonderful date night this week. I enjoyed the food and his great company. Bobby also took a trip with the Junior High group to Tapawingo for a retreat. I bet he will sleep well tonight!
This week even Skyra gets an honorable mention. She caught her first mouse! Good for her! Now she is earning her keep! I’ll admit my favorite thing is to have her sit on my chest and purr. I know that’s God’s favorite thing as well. He loves it when we are still and know that He is God. I am also bursting with pride when she does what she is created to do! I know our salvation is sealed – but I also know God bursts with pride when we obey and do, “good works, which he prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
May you enjoy being with God this week. May you sit at His feet, drink in His wisdom and may you then be excited to obey His commands and be filled with His blessings.
Much Love,
Cristy
