He is Faithful!

Welcome to our first blog! Bobby is in Springfield working this week and this has left me with alot to do this week. It is the kids last week of school and so we have parties and meetings scheduled all week. Today, however was a big day for me and Kailyn, my 6 year old. Today, I was our lunch date! She talked about today all weekend and told everyone we came in contact with. Today, I am a celebraty in her eyes! That is a lot of pressure-lol. On a side note ...when do I become uncool and she denies she even has a mom? Anyway, I was honored and 15 minutes late! :(



I left the house in what I thought would be plenty of time to start my Father's Day shopping and then pick up our lunch. I lost track of time and before I knew it I was running late. When I walked in the cafeteria I saw this beautiful little girl sobbing, tears rolling down her flushed cheeks, and waiting on her mommy. Her teacher was crouched beside reassuring her I was just late (atleast hoping I was just late). I walked over to her and she blurted out between cries...I thought you forgot. I told her "no baby I was just running behind." Her tears were quickly replaced by a smile when I showed her the Chick-Fil-A bag. On my way home, I was thinking about what she said..."I thought you forgot." My heart sank. Why would she think I would forget her...because although I love her and love spending time with her I have let her down in the past. I have been running this through my mind all day and God gently brought me to two verses one in Deuteronomy and the other in Joshua. Deuteronomy 7:9 it says, Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful... and in Joshua 1:7 God tells us He will never leave nor forsake us. Our God has , is , and will always be there for us. He is an On Time God (unlike myself)! We can always depend on him to be there. I am so thankful for a Father that knows what I need and when I need it. Sometimes it may seem he is late or not coming but remember he is always failthful...always on time!



I love you guys and gals! Have a great week!
