Sorry I have not blogged in a while family……. I’m back we are here! LOL I have news!
So the month of January was a bit difficult. Of course our trip to New York was a major blast and we enjoyed it so much. I am talking spiritual attacks. Kris and I always do a first fruits fast and tithe. I should know that when I do this things get harry. I’m an not bragging about fasting. I just know from personal experience that fasting works and its required of us from time to time to get Gods attention. We did the 21 day Daniel fast.
So during this fast Emily starts having issues with girls on the bus and it has really been bothersome to her and she was coming home crying every afternoon. To me as a mother, it just ripped my heart out. It is so easy for girls self esteem to get broken by hateful people and made me so angry. What could I do? I told her I would talk to the parents, go to the principle, have her bus driver change her assigned seats…. she said no to them all. I was like, “God what do I do”? Kris and I stated telling her everyday how beautiful she is and that those girls who are treating you so bad obviously are not secure with who they are and have to pick and be mean to make themselves feel better. We told her to ignore them and listen to her MP3 player, smile and be happy inside your self because there is no one else like you, and they are just jealous because your beautiful. I mean how can you call a 12 year old a slut especially when she didnt even know what that word is??? Even though she wears glasses she IS NOT a 4 eyed freak! She is Gods child and my gift from him. UGGGG! It gets me ramped up just thinking about it. I’ll move on now…
Zack came home from school one day in January to announce to me thru tears that his ROTC instructor pulled him aside from class in his office, closed the door, and cussed him out. Here is the reason: He had red hair gel in his hair! Yeah! Close your mouth, can you believe it! First of all he is NOT an US Marine he is a 15 yo KID in a ROTC program. He was not in iniform and his hair was cut within the regulation guidlines. Needless to say I about went crazy!!!! Kris said I will take care of it and you are not allowed to go down to the school. The momma bear in me was out in a way that it has never been before. I dont cuss at my kids and what gave that man the right to speak to my child that way. Well Kris pulled him from the program and he is now in Drama class which is sad because he loved ROTC. Its not fair to him to have to be subjected to such a man that does not deserve to be teaching children at all. But enough of this I’m getting angry again……..
So during this fast I guess God saw fit to weed someone out of my life that really didnt need to be there any longer. A (un-named person) called me and made lunch plans and was like I’ll call you on Friday to tell you when I am picking you up since I have to come that way anyways. I was like okay. I didnt hold my breath cause this person has done this to me before. So that Friday night rolled in and she called and said, ” why did you stand me up today”? I reminded her of our conversation and she was like, “oh we must have got our wires crossed.” The conversation was short and we hung up because my best friend had flown in from Florida and I was spening time with her. So Saturday I was at the basketball game with my cheerleaders and she shows up with hot chocolate all sorry for the day before and all was forgiven. I was not mad. So Monday I go to cheerleading practice with my squad, a person approaches me and says I cant believe you are treating (the un-named person) like this and you should not have stood her up……. I was like WHAT! Who are you and I dont have to justify myself to you or anyone else especially when you have none of the facts straight. I sent her an email later in the week and told her what happened and I also let her know that I dont gossip about my friends, stab them in the back, nor do I treat the ones that I love the way you have done me. Maybe its wrong of me but I have not taken any of her calls since then. I dont have time for drama and I have had one too many so called friends burn me because of my kind nature and I wont put up with it any more.
One of Kris’s marines was charged for domestic abuse, child neglect, and rape. This was one of my wives that I helped while the guys were deployed. We became friends. This woman come to find out attacked him with a knife and he held up a kitchen chair to protect himself from her and she some how fell and broke teeth; he got arrested……. this was a big ole mess. She is crazy and trying to ruin this poor guys career. All I know is he is the victim and needs so much prayer. Kris has put so much energy and time into this family in January and only a judge will determine his fate. Its really sad.
January was a bad month for me……. I was emotionally spent. I was freaking out because I did not want Kris deplolying to Afghanastan….. But thru it all God was faithful and gave me a song to that was my hearts cry. I have listened to it over and over. Click on the link to listen to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYjMhF4FipM
