Celebrate Any Achievements

10.23.2012

Last night we went out as a family to celebrate a milestone for our family.  It may seem like an odd milestone for some, but for us, it is great.

Since we had to say good-bye to Georgie and Bently being part of our family, Turner has not slept in his room much.  He just started to right before we had Madilyne, and then it started all over again.  It was hard for Daddy to let him sleep in there too, so we came up with a reward for sleeping in his own room if he would do it for one full week.

He completed the challenge and was able to ask one friend to go with to Chuck-E-Cheese.  It was a great time as a family. It was fun to see Turner having fun and see Simon's GIANT smile.

The days still have some really hard moments, so finding something to get excited about is a big deal these days and can sometimes be hard to find.

Right now, as I write this, I am still in my pajamas because today was just plain hard.  Turner and I decided it was a jammie day and we just chilled out and did what we wanted.  It was an interesting day, but once the tears stopped, we did enjoy just being.

We had so much prayer support today, and it was appreciated.  I just made a post about how hard it was, and we were be covered by many.  What a blessing to know that people are lifting us up and bearing our burdens with us.

Scripture Reading : Psalm 91

My Refuge and My Fortress

91 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say^[a] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

³ For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his pinions,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only look with your eyes
    and see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
    the Most High, who is my refuge^[b]—
¹⁰ no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
    no plague come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.
¹² On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the adder;
    the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he knows my name.
¹⁵ When he calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”
