Yesterday Cooper’s pediatrician wanted to see him so I took him back in and he put him on new antibiotics…  He was super adorable waiting for the dr…  I swear he has become a little man reading about sports and I just love to stare at him!

I am happy to report that Coop is finally on the mend and feeling so much better (thank you to all who have been praying for us) and he went back to school today and was so excited to finally see all of his friends again after a long Christmas break!  :) I have a very productive day today and am so happy that I had time in the Word, got all of our bags unpacked and everything put away and got all of our laundry done.  I also managed to put away all of the Christmas bins and clean the whole house!  Feels so good to get back to the grind and have our regular schedule going smooth!  I’ve got meals planned out for the rest of the month and I’m happily settled into the Beth Moore David study that was recommended to me (which is fabulous so far and I highly recommend) and I’m also about to start Power of A Praying Wife (AGAIN) by Stormie Omartian because I read it yearly and learn something new from it every time!

Seriously, God is so amazing and He really meets you right where you are!  He knows the ‘season’ you are in and it’s funny how you can read a book or a verse 5 or a hundred times and you get something new from every single time!  You just need to remember to let the Lord guide you continually it says in Isaiah 58:11…  And He will!  He continually directs our steps Proverbs 16:9 says and of course we need to open our hearts and allow Him to move in us.  His work in us never ends and in John 15:5-8 He makes it clear to us when He tells us, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.’  We have been placed on this earth for His purpose and His joy…  So often we get caught up in ourselves when in reality it’s not about us at all…  You have to give up your own plans in order for Jesus to work in your life!  Whenever I fall to my knees at the feet of God and pray, in my brokenness I am complete!  He never fails to make me whole again and that is part of His unfailing, everlasting love!
