Sorry about that last blog

(Have I shown you all this picture? I am so proud of my graduate.)

I just read that last blog....sorry. I guess I was feeling intense. It is Friday night now. I guess a lot has happened this week. Now it is over. I guess it is like when you have a baby....you don't really remember all of the pain as much. When it is all over, the bad parts seem to fade a bit.

“ My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” (James 1:19)

This is the verse for the day. AMEN! I would not get into so much trouble if I would think about this verse more.

I just know that it is all good. I am really trying to be a more positive person. Really pray for those that I may feel have done me wrong....or better yet, just try to get over myself, assume the best, and see who needs a friend. It is amazing how we can be in our own world, and right beside us someone may be in a lot of pain. There are many prayer requests at my school. Another teacher's little 7 year old had a 4-wheeler wreck this week and he didn't eat until yesterday. They are taking him to a neurologist. He may have permanent brain damage. Lord, please forgive me when I feel sorry for myself.

I think of how tough my job is sometimes...(OK, often....but I am working on this)..and right beside me my good friend was feeling nervous because she is going to have a child who can not go to the bathroom by himself. This is her first time to have a child like this in her class and she doesn't know if she is going to have an assistant or not. She has such a precious heart, I know God will use her so much wherever she is.

Matt is jammin' out in the kitchen. It is good to hear him play the guitar again. We have been so busy that he hasn't played in a while. Matthew played tonight for a Save-a-Life banquet. I am so proud of him. He plays really well. He is only 15 and just picks up whatever he hears. It is neat to see this blooming in him. He would die if he knew that I said "blooming" and his name in the same sentence. :)

I am really getting the bug to get out and sing with Matt. God has put us around so many other great singers that I can't wait to see what happens in the future. I had a great time singing with my principal at my girls' choir concert. (We sang so they could change clothes.) It was so much fun. You can hear it if you go to our home page (www.jonesrestoration.com). It may take a minute because the background is 2 mb. There is also a long intro. Anyway.

Have an awesome weekend. I am excited that Mamaw is coming Sunday and bringing our peeps. I hope she will stay for Memorial Day. Oh, thanks, Mom, for taking the kids to your house. I know they have had a great time.
