I've had ideas and things I have wanted to share, and things I longed to get out, but wasn't brave enough, or disciplined enough to put down my phone long enough and open my computer to get my thoughts out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But here I am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am spending my summer at home with my <i>not so little any more</i>, guy, Ryder. He is 6 going on 7...how can that be?! Early on this summer I found myself doing nothing, because it was summer and I told myself I deserved to relax a little bit...and not do much of anything because I was a teacher and "it was summer!" I wasn't getting anything done because there was always "tomorrow to get that done." I became discouraged and angry with myself that I was letting the time pass right before my eyes and I wasn't making the most of my days with R at home with me. How selfish I was being.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know there will soon be summers when him hanging out with his mama, is one of the last things he'll want to do. I told myself I wanted to make this summer, and how ever many summers I have left where it will still be cool to hang out with your mom left, to make the most out of things and provide him with as many memories as I can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I read another mom's statement she wanted to create/have such an awesome and memorable summer with her kids that they wouldn't want to go back to school. By this, she didn't mean sending them to extravagant camps each week, spending money on stuff, or going on fancy vacations, but just making solid memories, that they created...together. What a thought. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">By mid August I know I'll be "ready to go back to school" (but just for a lil while ;))...just because I thrive on routine, and summer does NOT provide that for me...But what an idea, to make your child's summer so memorable and fun for them, that they truly don't want to go back to school. Not that I want him to not enjoy or dread having to go back to school, but I want him to look back on these summer days that we got to spend together and think, "Wow, those were fun." I want him to remember his mom getting in the pool and playing with him. Rollerblading beside him while he biked along the bike trail. Swinging on the swings with him at the park...heck going to the park in the middle of the day! Taking him to the track to run to prepare for a triathlon. Inter-tubing with him out on the lake. Climbing to waterfall she hasn't hiked to since she was in much better shape. All things I may or may not have done with him in the past, but things I want him to know I <i>want</i> to do with him...I don't want him to do them alone. I don't want his memories of these things to be with me in the background. I want his memories to be with me <i>by his side</i>, as long as he will let me. I will soon be in the background because it won't be cool to have your mom by your side any more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Time is flying too fast...I know every parent can relate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">More to come on my brave boy as an only child...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time...when Kati used to blog. Oh my...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This summer I spent two weeks at UCA with the Stem Institute. I am apart of a grant that is called Common Core Instruction. Hopefully, they things they teach us as teachers, gets turned around and taught in our classrooms to our students, during the golden age of "common core". It's really NOT that bad, if you will stop listening to what everyone is saying about it...and form your OWN opinions. Granted, I've only taught the math of it, but had I been taught using "common core" back in the day, my understanding of math would have allowed me to understand more of "why" instead of just knowing, "this is how we do it." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have gained more understanding of WHY since being exposed to Common Core math than ever before...and I'm so thankful for that, and I'm thankful I get to share the WHY with my students!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ryder is already learning the WHY in Kindergarten and I LOVE IT!--I think when kids start out using CC math, they have a much great potential to excel in math, especially because it is the only "math" they've ever known, or been exposed to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to reflect on our first day...before it was over. Reflection is part of our daily lesson plan requirements at school. I am coming to realize the importance of reflection, and how important it is to reflect on your subject while you still remember what to reflect back on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The beginning of any school year is stressful, but starting the beginning of a new school year, in a brand new building is even MORE stressful! There is just so much of the unknown that you can't actually figure out until you're <b>there</b>! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was anxious about today--but not so much my mind, but my body. It was weird. I think I was anxious about what I was going to do in my room, and how I was going to occupy all of my time with my students--but it turned out to not even be a problem at all! I had more than enough stuff to talk to them about and "do", and I actually didn't even complete everything I had planned on completing--& that was perfectly okay!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Multiple people told me on Sunday "You got this!" So I felt like this was very appropriate for my morning this morning! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I dropped him off at KeeKee and Poppy's so KeeKee could take him to meet his dad so they could both walk him in together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wasn't upset about missing this. In fact, I probably could have squeezed it in, but I knew that he could handle it! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had the opportunity to pray with my administration and some other teachers in our court yard at 6:50 before the kids were let inside the gates at 7:10...my principal shared that while we seem to get so caught up and "busy" doing our job, not to forget to just stop and look around to ENJOY what we are doing and who we are doing it with. Life goes by way to quickly, and to not let it fly by without taking note of all of the opportunities we are given as teachers in these students' lives. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'll be honest. I was so worried about MY kids, and getting them taken care of--I didn't even have time to think/worry about R. I think that was actually a blessing. I knew he liked his teacher, I knew KeeKee and his dad had it under control...and that he was going to do great! I had no reason to worry about him!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It wasn't until I got a 5 minute break and was able to look at my phone and see the picutres KeeKee had sent me...I was like, "Oh yeah...Ryder!! Awww...he looks so happy!" </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">R was so blessed with AWANA Cubbies this year. We tried it two years ago and it just didn't go so well. We tried again this year, and R asked what night was Cubbie's night every night of the week. He learned and said his verses like a ROCKSTAR!--way better than I was every able to do. I hope his love for scripture memorization continues for the years to come...he challenges me and I'm so thankful for that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fresh fruit, yogurt and granola is one of my favorite breakfast or snack combos. I recieved Bear Naked granola from Influenster for testing purposes in the Blossom Vox Box.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The "coconut almond" got my attention, but the "curry" threw me off a bit. Upon pairing the granola with farmer's market raspberries and yoplait light raspberry yogurt...my initial though about the curry was correct. The coconut and almond tastes were delicious, but the curry made the whole sweetness of this treat completely messed up...I was a bit disappointed and upset, because I could tell the potential it had--just without the curry!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Sea Salt Caramel Apple one was much better suited for me and how I wanted to use my granola! I ate it mixed with a little bit of Almond/Coconut milk...making it a little soggy and very enjoyable as a "cereal".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I found Bear Naked in my local Neighborhood Market in the protein power/health good stuff for $1.19...pick up a packet or two to try today! </span> </span></div>

JUST NOW GETTING AROUND TO POSTING.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Man, have I missed blogging! Happy to be back!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's officially day 4 of summer, but since our first two days were a Thursday and a Friday, I didn't feel like summer REALLY started until Monday--which was yesterday! Our first FULL week of summer! =)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday started off with a BANG, which is why I've decided to blog about my/our days. So far, they have been too comical not to share, and I want to be able to look back on them and laugh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know that Ryder won't always be "little" and "stuck" hanging out with his mom all.summer.long. He'll be off with his friends doing his own thing, wanting me to just drop them off at the pool, and not stay and "hang out" and "work on my tan". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last summer, R still went to "school" everyday until after lunch/before nap...I had to pay for it anyways to keep his spot for the upcoming school year, but that's not the case any more. So, he is stuck with me all day, 'er day....poor guy! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We...or more like I am trying to create a routine, but that's just so hard to do when we can totally be "fly by the seat of your pants" during these days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My last day was Wednesday, but my whole entire room had to be packed up and I didn't get it quite finished, so I had to go back up there on Thursday (which wasn't TOO bad). This was R's last day of school, because he had graduation that night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So Friday OFFICIALLY kicked things off for both of us! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I laid down with him at 1 PM to take a nap, and no lie...we both woke up at 4:45 PM! We both obviously needed to catch up on some sleep, and I was NOT complaining! =)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After our nap, I spent some name in the hammock, and R road his bike at KeeKee & Poppy's before having some grilled hot dogs to officially kick off SUMMER!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My last few days of school and first couple of days of summer, we got to babysit this sweet girl! Her name is Q and I am NOT a dog person...but this lil one stole my heart! R's too! I offered to keep her while a friend of mine left the state unexpectedly. We'd keep her around if we could! She was the sweetest lil cuddle dog...and to think I actually made her sleep in her kennel the first night!! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Everyone always tells R he has a "kind heart" and that is true. 99% of the time...example above. But there IS that 1% he is ALL BOY and not so much "kind hearted" like they say! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Point proven yesterday as I walked out the back door to find him PEEING ON Q. Poor dog! He acted like she "got in his way" at first...but I didn't believe THAT for a minute!! He told me he "didn't think I would ever know about it". Little do you know buddy! :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So...I made him give her a bath outside (when we had JUST given her one the day before!) which turned into ME giving her a bath. I did NOT have time for that, but I had to make time...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are a lot of important pieces of the puzzle that are required for a relationship to work...and I've learned that when you have <i>one</i> of those pieces, it's not always worth it to hang on to the relationship because of that <i>one</i> amazing puzzle piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've learned that it's better to be single, than to be in a relationship that has a couple of the right pieces, but not all of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've also learned that you are NOT ready to be in a relationship, until you are completely OK and happy with being single. If "being in a relationship" is something that you think about all the time, and completely consumes your thoughts, your probably not ready to be in a relationship anyways! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Being treated like a "princess" is every girl's dream. For her man to give her everything (emotionally & materialistically) she ever wanted and more. For him to be constantly thinking about her and how he can make her happy. I've been in relationships like that before. Relationships that if I would have stayed in, I could have probably had anything I ever wanted...and more. The perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, all the vacations I've dreamed about...and that Suburban full of kids I've always wanted. But, would those "things" be what would ultimately make me HAPPY. Absolutely not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I could have taken those couple pieces of the puzzle that would have made me some-what "happy" and ran with it. But luckily I saw that some of the other important pieces of the puzzle, were missing. All of those "things" would make me look happy on the outside, but they sure wouldn't make me happy on the inside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes it's so hard to LET GO. And...it's even harder to let go of GOOD THINGS. Things you've always wanted and always dreamed about. It's even harder to let go of those good things when there isn't particularly anything "bad" that is pushing you away...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also...I've also learned that as women entering into a relationship, we are to accept that man for who.he.is. It isn't our job and shouldn't be our goal to change him into who WE want him to be. That's just now how it works...and it's not even worth the try. You shouldn't want to be with someone who you want to <i>change.</i> That doesn't even make sense. If you want to change him, then you don't need to be with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Same for vice-versa. If he wants to change you...you don't need to be with him. I've sadly watch this happen to too many people and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A man's words to a woman he loves and wants to be with should never be degrading. It's one thing to think certain things, but it's a whole different story to say them out loud. Words may not seem like something that is "damaging" because the damage can't be seen with the visible eye. Just because he isn't making marks on you physically, where other people can see...doesn't mean he's not making marks on your heart. If he's making marks on your heart, then it should be good marks not bad ones!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I could go on...but I'll stop there. I'd love to hear different things that YOU'VE learned about and from past relationships! We all have different paths and different relationship experiences. I've found that I've learned more from living through MY relationships, rather than learning things from my friends' relationships. We all have to make our OWN mistakes and learn from them, I guess you could say! </span><br />

Ryder ended up going to the farm with Poppy, Korlin & one of his friends, Darrell. It was a little chillier than it should have been, but they still had fun as always!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mid March...Aunt Dean was going to be celebrating her 91st birthday, so we planned a day to go and visit her! She is my dad's mom (whom I never met)'s sister. She never had kids of her own, so my dad and his sister were like "her kids". She lives in her home semi-independently which is still so amazing to me! We don't get to see her often, but it's always an enjoyable time when we do. I'm so thankful she has gotten to see Ryder as much as she has.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Aunt Dean has always been known for her chocolate cake. When my mom and dad first got married, my mom tried SOO many different "homemade" chocolate cake recipes for my dad trying to make them as good as Aunt Dean's. She never succeeded and finally had the guts to ask Aunt Dean for her recipe. Aunt Dean told her "Oh honey...that's just Dunkan Hines cake mix!" ...and now we know!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Up until the last couple of years, we never made a visit to see her and Uncle Joe without finding a freshly made, uncut chocolate cake, hidden underneath the lid, waiting for us when we got there. Now we bring our own to carry on the tradition! I'd like to say my mom's are just as good, but that might be a lie! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A few weeks ago our little town had an event on a Friday night with lots of food trucks from neighboring cities.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I invited Allie and Josh to go with us and luckily Allie was off work, and we were all able to go! We did our research on all the food trucks prior to going, to narrow down on choices, and I'm so glad we did....because it was a bit overwhelming once we got there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Come to find out...one of the food trucks, BEAST, carries my aunt and uncle's meats from their farm!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">...This time I went with purple, which was a little more "raspberry" fitting. That butter-cream y'all is a game.changer. I will never buy frosting from the store again!! I used a lil more milk in this batch, and added some melted coconut oil. It helped, but I still don't thing I've perfected them! </span><br />

We talk about it, and we talk about it and we talk about it. But it's one of those things I feel like we have to <i>talk</i> about it so often, that he just <i>listens</i> to me do my talking and doesn't really take it all in. He knows what he is supposed to do, but as a 5 year old full of life, it is just SO much easier for him to do what <i>he</i> wants to do! Isn't that true for all of us?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One night laying in bed, I just wanted to cry thinking about the lack of Ryder wanting to simply obey me. It wasn't even over anything big, nothing life changing. Just simple things like "brush your teeth", "put on your shoes", "close the pantry door"..."get in bed." He can do all these things, but instead of doing them when I ask him to...he is doing them when <i>he</i> feels like doing them! So frustrating and aggravating as a parent! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He is always telling me, "Mom...I love you." This makes my heart so happy and it is probably something that I take for granted more than I should. I tell him all the time that I hope he never stops telling me that and I pray that he always feels that way towards me, even when I do something that doesn't particularly make him "happy". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On this particular night, he had told me he loved me <i>right</i> after disobeying me (not doing what I had asked him to do, <i>when</i> I asked him to do it). Before I even realized what I was saying, I said, "Ryder, I know that you love me, but a one way to actually show me you love me is by obeying me." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Ummm...wow, Kati. Where did that come from? & can't you relate? how is that any different than obeying our Lord to show Him that we love Him? It's not! It's the exact same thing!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>The way my heart aches when Ryder chooses not to obey me, is the same kind of heartache that God has for us when we make the choice <u>not</u> to obey Him.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Being a parent can give you a whole new perspective on the love our Father has for us, and this is just one of those many ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">While I'm struggling to parent Ryder, I am at the same time learning <i>how</i> to love my Father. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Obeying Him <i>is</i> loving Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When we obey God, we are showing our love for Him. Obeying Him and loving Him are tired together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Our obedience to Him is also built on what He wants to give and bless us with. He wants to bless us, but He always wants us to obey Him.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just like when Jesus told Simon Peter to "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." Simon Peter had been fishing all night and hadn't caught a thing, <b>BUT</b> he obeyed the Lord and let down his nets...in obedience of the Lord. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Then what did Jesus bless Simon with? Nets so full of fish that his nets were breaking!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is just one of many examples of how He <i>wants</i> to bless us, <i>when</i> we obey Him! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am so encouraged by this message, and I hope you can be too! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When we choose to obey Him, we become more intimate with Christ and are drawn nearer to Him! So much goodness!</span><br />
