Raya was eating her breakfast this morning (after everyone else was done). She's reeeaaaally slow in the morning, and she needs her space!
The rest of us were upstairs frantically getting ready for Bible Study. I came downstairs to check on her progress and give her a little 'ya better hurry or were gonna be late' speach.
I rounded the corner to find her sitting at the island, holding her spoon half way to her mouth and singing "I play my drum for Him, pa rum pa pum pum"
I didn't interupt. She continued with her song in between mouthfuls of cereal.
We were late for Bible Study.
And it's okay because Raya needed that time to worship this morning.

A little girls dream....
I set my alarm to get up early and get some work done. I've turned on my worship music and am plucking away at my invoicing. I have to admit there has been more worship and less work this morning but I can't stop myself....and I know it's not a bad thing.
Raya woke up and came in my office with her eyes half open, carrying her blankie and sporting some crazy hair. She quietly says
"I had a good dream this time Mom"
me "what was it about?"
raya "My auntie Cheremi brought her new babies home"
insert BIG grin here (with eyes still half open)
raya "but I still miss them"
oh sweet Raya, my prayer is that your little sweet dream comes true really really soon.

Is it that bad?
We were getting ready frantically on Sunday morning in our bathroom. Chris casually says
"What happened to Betti?"
me: "You took her out of the budget when we moved"
chris: "No, I don't think I did, but if I did, I'll get her back in there"
me: "sweet"
Guess who's coming to my house on Tuesday??? BETTI!! We love Betti!
And.... I'm going to do myself a favor and not read into the underlying message of this conversation....but I do wonder, is it really that bad? I'll also answer my question by saying "nope, I don't think it is". My time is spent schooling Hallie, playing with the littles, building relationships, working, driving the kids to their activities and appointments, going to Bible Study and allowing God to shape me into who He wants me to be.
The rest can wait...for Betti :)
