Missed appointments

Last week I had things I wanted to do , people I REALLY wanted to see. I missed everything I WANTED to do! boo hoo my life :( OK pity party over! I was able to get Meg to her docters appointment and able to keep my house clean (okay somewhat livable) BUT o there were things I REALLY wanted to do. If I missed an appointment with you.... Know that You are not alone and I really wanted to see you.

ITS a new day, a new week! I love Mondays !!!! They are fresh and start me off brand new.

 It helps that I believe in and enjoy my work. My Job is different , BOTH of them or should I say all of them?

I'm focusing on two areas of my life for this post. One being my JOB, you know the one that brings income.... Yeah that one. I own my own business so I can work around Megs schedule. TOTALLY works for me. Although its my own business and I can make my own hours, I have responsibilities in this business for the people I'm training and for my customers. I want to be excellent in all I do.

 Meg is the other area of my life I am writing about today. (after all she is what this blog is about)She goes to a specialized school just for kids that have different needs. They have always had a year round schedule and its been perfect for her!
Recently our district changed that, and she is out of school for nearly 3 months. She is a sweet and fun gal that loves life and people, BUT 3 months of no school is confusing! I do not have enough PECs for her calendar to show her she is home this long. PEC stands for Picture exchange communication. It is how we have communicated for years :)

I learned some years ago how to recognize when burn out is around the corner and know when I need to rest or when I need to play. Usually both hahaha. Rest first then play. I've learned a skill set in even how to rest if I cant get away. Some days Megs hair wont be done It will be brushed but that's it. She will be fed and dressed...I just do the things that have to be done.   I call those my have tos . On those days I hurry and do my have tos, and then I just put on worship music and sit there and soak. I have learned to rest in Him even in Megs constant talking and noises ...and I think that is an important skill set.

NOW to learn a new creative way to do my business while Meg is here for 3 months! This could be interesting. God is our CREATOR He created the entire world and us....so Im asking Him for some of that creativity to run an excellent and prosperous business while being the mom she needs. OVER comeing autism in every area of our life! Not giving up or running away from challenges but facing them head on with HIS strength That is how I live and move that is how I grow in Him. In Nehemiah the people were prepared for what ever came their way and they kept working to get that wall built. Building tools in one hand and fighting tools in the other. I believe God has given me tools to do the jobs at hand. Where is God challenging you to overcome? Are there areas in your life or your kids life that can cause you to flee or bury your head in the sand? God invites us to overcome these areas He all ready has the answers and chances are you all ready have the tools. Ask His help and move ahead into His promises. DONT let excuses steel your future! Now go and have a great week! remember  Dear ones God LOVES you, and is for you. He wants you to prosper and succeed in every area of your life .... NOW GO DO IT !
