- July 20-21, 2007 -
The past two days have been such incredibly busy days for me. They have also been such incredibly tiring and delightfully joyful days for me too though! Yesterday, the four amigos were wild, and thus, I really had to discipline them. It was my least favorite part of the day, fo sho! Yet, I know it is needed, and I saw it bear much good fruit today!
All the children really do love me so much. They are learning and adjusting to life without their adopted dad Ray and life with Amanda. I love that they just simply call me "Amanda." I really like life without titles like "Miss" and "Mister." It's so much more personal and real to me when things are that way ... but it is difficult to say the least to convince people in the US South of that. Argh! :-)
I got loved on so much today by them and had a lot of fun dancing with them and enjoying music together. They really liked it especially Blaza. I think Grandma Guo liked seeing it too. I sang to them and taught some songs to Hannah and James. They were so cute to watch sing.
Tonight I was given a list of 15 pages of daily "To Do's" from Jun Ling. The list is from Ray and a little from Diane. I don't think I can keep up with the complete list, and I don't agree with some of the demands here, but I have set my heart on not worrying about it and simply pleasing the Father. That is more important than anything.
"And whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." -- Colossians 3.23-24
