Didn't make Moms in Touch Meeting, bummed.

What a morning! I had to get up at 4:45 A.M.!!! I am doing that to go to classes at the gym and get my exercising out of the way before our day gets started around here. It is so hard not to stay in bed. Everything about the process of getting up that early is hard: pulling off the covers, rolling out of the bed, stumbling my way to the bathroom, getting dressed, putting my shoes on, pulling back my hair, brushing my teeth, driving to the stinkin' gym. Ugh, I finally made it. Glad I did. My kids are up when I walk in the door, dressed, eating a bowl of cereal before I can even offer to make them something more substantial. I'm okay with that, especially this morning for I can barely lift my limp, heavy arms to pour my coffee. 
I was bound and determined and very excited to go to my daughter's schools meeting of Moms In Touch, but in the category of "if it's not one thing, it's another" our air condition broke last Thursday and I am having to wait for the repair man. I would go on and scoff now at how long we have had to be without it, but I am just so thankful that the repair man finally got back to me this morning and will be here "sometime" today. So I can't stray too far from home. Don't want to risk missing his call. I will pray here for my girl, but I was just so glad that I was going to have other moms around me praying for her as well. You know the bible does say, "Where ever two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of you." Mathew 18:20. There is power in numbers, when two people (or more) come together in agreement seeking the will of God. I believe He honors that. Not that praying on your own is not effective. God hears us where we are, I was just glad to come personally together with other moms. Keeps me on track in my mind and on a daily basis. No one should go at anything alone, that's why I do better getting up to go to the gym for the group classes. The other people in there  motivate me, I push my self harder. Same with our relationship with God. So I will make it a point to be there next Tuesday for my girl. God willing I will get there, but in the mean time I am still praying for her, her school, her teachers, her friends. She is a wonderfully special kid. She is so full of joy and forgiveness and kindness. She is a funny, beautiful, smart girl and I pray that God will have His hand on her and guard and protect her and help us to be the best parents we can be for  her. Time to go get on with my day.
