Tonight I sat with Katie Beth to make goals for the next school year. I started to explain what a goal is and she stopped me. “Mom I know what a goal is here is my list: For School: Be on time. Good Behavior Have fun Learn more each day No Subway for lunch Mom be on time to pick her up Do her homework For family: Family night with spaghetti tacos or Pizza and then watch a movie Visit Grandma Jo & Grandpa Richard (they need her since Grandma is so sick) For Recreation: To trot on the horse the whole way around the circle.” I then asked her what she wanted me to pray about for the school year. Here is her list: “Pray about who I am supposed to be and then for me to be myself. And not to be afraid.” As a mom I am pretty proud. My favorite is that she wants God to show her who she is and then for her to be it.
