She is doing so very well! Things at home are going very well. She's adjusting better than we ever thought she would. She loves playing with her sisters.
She has mastered the art of living room fort and tent building. We have had some exciting weekends lately. Kevin had to travel for work so it was just a girl's weekend! We missed daddy, but decided to have some fun.
"T" attended her first theatre performance. We went to go and see Get Smart put on by a local children's theatre. The youth did a great job and we were very excited to support some of the awesome youth from our congregation.
All the girls really enjoyed the show. Afterward it was onto Easter outfit shopping. Yes, I took all 4 girls by myself to buy Easter clothes. We found outfits and shoes for all of them that day. Woo Hoo!
"T" was so very excited to pick out a new dress herself! She just kept staring at herself in the mirror, jumping up and down and practically yelling "pretty, pretty" in the dressing room. She was excited!
"T" loves making silly faces, dancing, pb&j sandwiches, oranges, school, the cat (never would have guessed that), her doll, and watching cartoons.
This weekend the Berg grandparents were back in town. We were all able to go see the movie Frozen. Awesome movie! "T"s first time in a movie theater. She was really excited!
All of the girls had a great time with Grandma and Bapa. They played games, baked, walked their dog, and had a lot of fun.
A Lenten Devotion . . . "Don't you care if we drown?" (I'm using "Who is That Man?" by Ray Pritchard for my Lent reading this year)
"Don't you care if we drown?" (Mark 4:38). The disciples were asking Jesus this when they found themselves in the middle of the Sea of Galilee in a terrible storm. If we think about the symbolism behind this I think there are many times we ask Jesus questions like this . . .
Do you care that I didn't get that job?
Do you care that I have these health problems?
Do you care if my loved one died?
Do you care if I have financial issues?
If I'm honest with myself there have been many times I've asked God questions like this. The beautiful thing is though there is more to this story than just scared disciples and a storm. There is Jesus that is in the boat with his friends. He is there alongside them. There is still fear, there is still a storm, but Jesus is there. Jesus does not abandon them, he clams the storm.
During those storms in our lives Jesus is there with us as well. He will never abandon us. He will never leave us. There still will be fear, there still will be storms. However, God will always be present with us and most certainly cares for us always.
