So, I went to pick up my kids from daycare Monday and I was told my oldest Katie had moved up to the Older Two's class; which means it's time to potty train. Yikes! At first I was excited, but then I thought about our first potty training experience a few months ago.
Before Katie & Aden starting attending the awesome daycare their in now, they attended another not so great one. When Katie turned two they demanded I start potty training right then. They told me to put her in regular panties and skip pull-ups. Being the young nice mother I am, I went along with it. But, it was a disaster!!! At first Katie loved going to the potty (though she only really used it once or twice), then all of a sudden she started crying every time.I felt like I was torturing my child every time I sat her on the potty. She just wasn't ready. But, the daycare insisted I stick with it. I finally told them no, I was not going not to continue with process at this time.
It wasn't long before we switched daycares. One of the first questions I asked was how they potty trained. They told me it would be when Katie's ready and I say it's OK . Praise the Lord!! A daycare where I'm in charge. So, it's only been a few days, but things are going great. Katie loves her big girl panties (pull-up's) and now she willing sits on the potty when I take her. I pray that this will be a short process. I encourage all mom's out there to not let others tell you what is right for your child like I did, but listen to you gut when you know somethings wrong.

Mary Hearts Club
Hey again! I just want to start off by saying saying praise Jesus because he has come through for me once again. Michael has missed a couple of weeks of work lately due to some medical problems, so that has put us a little behind financially. But I have continued to put my faith in Jesus and he has continued to provide!!!
When I joined my wonderful church (South Florence Baptist) a few months ago, I immediately joined a women's group called the Mary's Heart Club. I had no idea what I'd be getting myself into. When I attending my first meeting I was completely blown away. I mean here is a group of women that love Jesus and who are going through some of the same struggles I am. The next couple of meetings I began to share with everyone the things I was going through and they all begin to pray for me. For the first time I learned was it was like to have true godly women friends who really cared. I had never had that before. There is one women in particular who I have been completely blown away by since the very first meeting. Her name is Susanne Reeder. When she talks about Jesus she talks with such passion and love. And I couldn't help but think, wow I want was she has. I went home that night and told Michael all about the group and about Susanne. She made a comment at the last meeting about how she looks up to Beth Moore. How she wants what she has. Well Susanne if your reading this, I want you to know that you already have it girl, you are already a big influence on others. So keep doing what your doing.
That just goes to prove you never know who's watching you , so we all need to live for Jesus every moment of every day. Showing others his amazing love.
I can't say enough about how much this church has changed my life. Between making some great friends( Kim,Dori, Gary) and continuing to learn about Gods love; I can't think of a better place to be.

Oops!!
Hello everyone! I'm writing today to fix a typo I made on my post about Promise Keepers. I was talking about my wonderful church and accidentally typed in the wrong link. Here is the corrected one http://www.southflorencebaptist.org. I encourage anyone who is interested in attending the most loving church in Florence SC to check out this site.
By the way, thank you Chris for pointing out my mistake.

Promise Keepers
Tommorow my husband is leaving for a mens conference called Promise Keepers. The conference is all about teaching men about living a Godly life. My husband has been a couple times before and cann't wait to go again. But you know what that means; I'll be alone with kids kinds all weekend!!! Lord help me!!! I'm really glad he's going, but he will surely be missed.
By the way, the church I attend (http://SFBC.com) is building a new sancturary and it's really looking beautiful. I cann't wait till it's finished and we're able to start filling it up with new people!!
Anyway, I hope everyone out there has a blessed day.
