The Breakfast

It's been a few days since I have posted anything new. Sorry about that. It's been a very stressful week at BHS. I won't go into details to protect the not so innocent but I will say if it were not for God, loyalty and this bad economy I might have walked out mid week and never returned. The staff is under a lot of stress to meet state and board demands and on a very limited budget due to pro ration. Add in crazy kids and its enough to drive anyone over the edge. It was about mid week when I got a call from my friend Dusti about an event that night to see if I has going. She could tell by the tone of my voice I was an inch away from losing it. She arranged breakfast at one of our favorite locations (City Cafe) for Friday morning. All week I have been looking forward to our breakfast date, it kept me focused and ready. We met this morning around six and enjoyed good company and yummy food. Our conversation returned my sanity and brought me encouragement and comfort. I am so thankful for our Christ centered friendship. She sharpens me with iron. She softens the rough edges of this stressful job of being a working mom and she understands all the pressure. She experiences it herself. I drove to school feeling like a new person. I hope that everyone can have that kind of friend who can comfort, counsel, and confront when needed. And I hope that I am that kind of friend. Enjoy the weekend!!

Don't you wish all HS kids were like our Dgroup girls. I took the kids to Wendy's today after we dropped off TJ at the airport. This HS guy (how honestly looked a lot like TJ) came and sat next to us. His two buddies came and sat by him. They prayed over their meal and were SO sweet to my kids. All I could think about is why are there not more guys like this!!?? Hehe!!!

I am glad you had a great time with your friend and I am sure you are under a lot of stress! I hope that you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend and the Lord would prepare you for next week, which I hope is 100 times better for you!!

God bless you friend!
