Today I continued on my plan. Children are moving rooms and things are turned upside down here at the Bartlett household. Macie and Conner have been sharing a room (they flip-flop from time to time-seperate rooms, share room, seperate rooms, share...you get the idea) and have decided that they are ready for their own rooms again. So, since Cydney was in Macie's room, Cydney started the move first. She is going to the old classroom in the back (which I think will be better for her since all of her equipment needs room to breathe and we need a big space to store all of her supplies). She had also been in a portable bed, so she moved to the full-size crib. The portable crib will come to our room to hold our sweet little foster babies. Then, Macie desperately needed a new bed because she other one we had repaired and pieced together too much already. I found a beautiful daybed at Sam's today and thankfully Heath said ok. We had just finished moving our den back to it's original place since Heath's mom passed away (her bedroom was our former den). As you can imagine, with Christmas and everything else going on, you couldn't figure out what belongs in which room. Most of you know that I have a hard time staying on task, so I have been very faithful in this task so that I can get things back to normal.
Tonight was First Wednesday at church. We didn't attend at our campus, but we did watch online. I love our Riverchase campus, but I also love watching it online because we usually all sit in the den and watch it together. Tonight, everyone was listening, but not sitting in the den. Some would filter in and out while they were still doing whatever it was they were doing. I had gotten up to get Cydney a toy and came back to this:
My sweet girl was worshipping like she was there. It didn't matter that she was in the den and it didn't matter that she was worshipping alone. Her eyes were closed and she was singing like crazy. The one thing that came to my mind is that I pray all of my children feel confident enough in their walk with God to be able to worship him under any circumstances. I broke down in tears and thanked my parents to bringing me up in church and thanking my church that they have invested time in my child to teach her that you can worship anywhere. I leave you with this thought: Are you praising God everywhere? If not, what's holding you back? Is it the people you are hanging around with? The people around your desk at work? Make a way-and Praise Him!
