I Just Want to Party It Up in Dreamland

As I write this, Sam is snoring away beside me. I am so jealous. If these past couple of weeks could be summed up in one word, it would be.....SLEEPY. It feels as if I cannot get enough sleep. I have managed to get in 7-8 hrs a night (yes with a 6 month old in the house, feel free to applaud...), and yet I am still. just. TIRED. Tired to the point of tears, to not being able to rationalize life...I just want to sleep, but I also have 5,000 other things I need to do. So whatever it is that is making me sleepy really just needs to pack its bags and leave....I just want....a nap...one nap....darn it.

I am sending out my support letters this week, so if you've asked for one (and probably even if you didn't), you should get one in the mail soon! I have to raise SO much support money it seems like an impossible feat, but God knows just what you need when you need it. This past week our dear friend Emily came with her husband and two kids to stay with us. They are missionaries for Family Life in Little Rock, and she came loaded with stories of support money coming through in the oddest of ways, and really encouraged me to press onward and trust God to do the rest.

The dance ministry itself is going phenomenally well. For quite possibly the first time ever, every single one of our C.A.E. (Christian Arts Exploration - our kids' dance team) came to rehearsal on time and in dress code. God has just completely removed the behavior struggles from that group too....4-11 year olds are challenging, especially the little ones...but they are so precious and the Lord just continually reminds us that as we teach them and provide structure.

We are also starting the launch of our "dance academy" next week...we will have formal dance classes with bible-believing instructors who are sharing their gifts and talents for a peanut salary. It is amazing how God provides just what we desire, it is so inspiring and fun! :)

Here's a picture of Emily's daughter Whitney feeding Sam.

And here is Sam "mountain climbing" on his daddy :)


Okay, time to get some work done before the snoring turns into big blue eyes wanting my undivided attention. <3
