School is out

I thought that Skyler was a little upset that school is out this week, but yesterday he said "I am so excited about Friday", I asked him why.... he said "Because I get to play with you all day" Awe.
I am glad that he has made it through this year. I have to say I am not such a fan of this school. This school is supposed to be a top ranked school in GA but I knew less of what was going on than his school in TX.  Hopefully his new school next year will be better. Yes poor fella, he will have another new school next year.

We have found a house and we'll be moving again this summer, but we'll have about a month to get everything over there. I am looking forward to getting settled in our home. I am going to have to paint a few rooms, but overall this house is by far the cleanest we have seen. I have to say I am surprised, shocked, disgusted and disappointed in how people don't take care of their home. I am not talking about a few spots on the floor or dirty windows. I am talking about inches of dust on fans, grease stained cabinets and having to pull up all of the carpet because of stains, spots and who knows what. I don't get why people don't take care of their home, much less think someone wants to buy their mess. Just goes to show, "You cannot judge a book by it's cover", in this case it is homes.


This has made me think of how we (humans) are. There are many times we want people to know us from the outside. Shiny, put-together, hair perfect, nails polished, makeup just right, the right house or car, you know perfect. When inside we are just a wreck waiting to happen. I know I have been there. Then you get stuck in pretending to be this fake person, and you begin to hate it because you can not live up to what you have made. My relationship with God. I loved God, but, I didn't really know who he is. The more I have dived into His word, the more I let Him into my life, the more I talk with Him and am still waiting on Him. The easier my life has been. Now I am not saying this will happen over night, can it yes, but that doesn't always happen. God has been working on me for years and, I am still not perfect. 
The good thing is we will be perfected one day in heaven. We don't have to be perfect right now. He wants us to try, step out in faith and trust him.

Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
