I will sing

Well, it was a lazy but lovely Sunday. We had chocolate chip pancakes, and then TJ started feeling sick. I hope it was a four hour flu and not my cooking. He didn't feel well enough to go sing with his school, so my mom took the girls to sing at E Free. John got home around 10am and slept the day away. We went on a walk with the neighbor kids to Arnold Park. The kids wanted to play on the merry go round, but it was almost completely buried in snow. I visited Charlotte and her baby, and they seem to be doing wonderfully. TJ is excited to start guitar lesson with Michael Quick tomorrow night. We're excited to see our friends, Annan and Peter, at the show on Tuesday. I'm proud that I have continued to do well with eating more healthy. I've only had one Girl Scout cookie, which is quite the feat when I have 200 boxes staring at me. Jimmy and Jonna stopped by for their cookies, and I'm excited to find out if they're having a boy or girl tomorrow. John is filleting his fish right now, and I'm watching a show called The Amazing Race. When it gets warmer, it would be fun to plan an Amazing Race activity for one of our potlucks. The kids are going to teach some friends how to make "cutie catchers" at our potluck on Sunday. I enjoyed having a relaxed day to read my Family Fun magazine and write some thank you notes. I'm going to plan a little play date with some of the kids' friends called Tie Dye Friday (say that five times) and have tie dye cupcakes and tie dye shirts. My friend, Sarah, called and said that she's very stressed with her college algebra class. I pray that she does what she needs to do to accomplish her professional goals and to maintain balance with her family, spirituality, mental health, and personal hobbies and happiness. We are getting four tickets for the Tuesday show, and two of the are in the front row. I think that Scotty is coming, and I hope to see our friends, Scum and Drew. Scum said that he had a night of spiritual clarity, and I pray that he starts taking better care of his health and lays off on the partying and chooses his future over living dangerously for the minute. I pray for continued self control, personal communication with friends, and safe travels. Psalm 57 I will take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. I cry out to God who fulfills his purpose for me and gives love and faithfulness. I was a little disappointed that my mom and the girls didn't stay for the church service because I feel like TJ getting sick was God calling my mom, and she didn't answer. I will sing of the Lord's great love forever, I will make Your faithfulness known through all generations. I pray that my grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will sing of Your faithfulness.
