Sunday service

I was blessed to be able to go to church this morning with 5 young men and 1 young lady. The service was great and Mariah chose to be a challenge this Sunday. She tests me to the limits and I pray that God gives me wisdom, guidance, patience, understanding, perseverance and abundant amount of love to continue to raise her. I don't know if I have voiced it much while blogging how difficult it and has been to parent Mariah, we have a never ending love for her but I will not lie it is tough. I could have an entire blog about raising institutionalized children and wish I had been informed. I live and learn.
We had Mexican food for lunch and it was the first time that 2 of guys from Drews team had been to a authentic Mexican restaurant and do they decided to just order what Drew had, they said they enjoyed there lunch. Great kids love being around them.
They are now at the pool I forgot to ask who know how to swim so I am praying that Drew keeps an eye out for them and puts his lifeguarding skils to use if necessary.
Mariah is taking a break and missed the pool time but I hope this is a lesson to remember that her behavior is rewarded when she makes good positive choices.
BTW just looked in on her and she is fast asleep, hopefully dreaming about the sweet, kind, caring, calm, understanding girl I know she can and will be.
As the world turns...
