As I sit here tonight so much is on my mind...
First, we are REALLY, REALLY blessed. We have two healthy kids, I have a wonderful/ supportive husband, the BEST family and friends we could ever ask for, and jobs that we both absolutely LOVE. I am truly humbled by how good God has been to us.
Second, my heart hurts for a number of families we are close to who have either lost loved ones, are very sick, have family who are very sick, or who are just going through some really tough times. I am praying for each and everyone of them. I am thankful God carries us through these difficult times.
Third, I can't believe tomorrow is THE DAY. Yes, I am emotional already, Ansley cried when she said good bye to her pre-k teachers this afternoon (it goes without saying that I was crying!!!). I am excited about the girls starting school and all the fun that will bring, but sad that they are growing up so fast. I know I have said it before, but they should still be babies...they will ALWAYS be our babies though. I am so thankful that their teachers are christians, they are very strong women of faith, and they have been praying for their classrooms and the children who will be in their classes. God is so good...what a blessing that these two women who will have such an impact on our girls lives and our lives are such faithful christians.
Fourth, and totally random...I have found several knew blogs about organization that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. They have each inspired me, and I will be adding to our "binder" collection. I know Brian is thrilled, lol. These sites are helping me with our "Household Binder"...and yes, I will be making Brian the mini version (mainly the planner portions with the calendars and the girls schedules). He shouldn't have the excuse that I didn't tell him what our plans were! This binder has all kinds of great tools for keeping your household organized and planned. There are things from schedules, to budgets, meal plans, etc. I figured it would be nice to have everything in one place. I LOVE my coupon binder and have used it like crazy. I think it has even inspired a few of my friends to make their own. I think this will be a good addition to that...
I know most of you are probably rolling your eyes and thinking are you kidding me, and that's ok too. But, our lives are so busy and hectic right now I think this is going to be awesome for us. We are constantly on the go and I usually have 10 lists going for all different kind of things...now they will be all in one place! YAY! So I am going to try this for the next 3 months, and see how it goes. I will post pictures after I get them made this weekend...
Fifth, thank goodness that college football and cooler weather are right around the corner! Can I get an AMEN??? In case you were wondering...the Dawgs kick off in 23 days! GOOOOOOO DAWGS!!! SIC 'EM!!!!!! Yes, the Harvey's are ready with their game day attire...:) See I told you this was going to be random thoughs and ramblings...:)
Finally, I will close with a few verses and quotes that I love:
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
Romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? One of my all time favorites!!!!
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Back tomorrow with pictures of the first day of school!
Much love to you all!
