Life...........

I am so tired! Life is wearing me out and I feel like I can't keep up! Something always seem to get me down and I feel like the trials never end. But...............I am going to grow in the Lord. I want to leave you with scripture for those out there that might be struggling just like me!

Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
James 1:2-4

Thank you Lord that you deem me worthy for trials! Bring me to the place you want me to be!

God Bless!

Another School Year Done!

I can't believe it this school year is already over. Trevor still has some school to finish up at home, but he will be a junior in high school, Bryson is a third grader, and Morgan is a first grader. Where does the time go? It seems like not so long ago I met Chris and became an instant family with our oldest Trevor who was only 7 at the time. Now Trevor is like a grown man. It is the strangest thing to watch your kid drive away in his car all by himself! I had a hard time with him driving. Chris and his mom Amy seemed to take to it better that I did. He would ask me to go driving with him, but I was too chicken! He is a very responsible driver, but I guess I just wasn't ready for him to be so grown up! He has grown up so fast. He is a great big brother. Bryson is 8 and to think about how fast Trevor has grown up just makes my head spin! I know other mom's out there can relate to what I am feeling. Bryson is trying to push his limits. He wants more freedom, and we do give him more, but it is so hard to let go! He wants to stay up later and do more things. I tend to be a little overprotective with all the kids. Bryson is in baseball right now and will play soccer in the fall. Morgan is our little princess. She has all the boys wrapped around her finger. Her and Bryson fight quite often. They have gotten into some knock down drag out fights. But they do love each other. Morgan loves when Trevor comes over. She always runs to him and gives him a big hug. She loves to sing and dance, but only at home. She wants to do a tennis camp this year! Thank God! I didn't think she would ever break out of her shell. Chris and I told the kids that this summer they could have all of June off, but come July they would have to do some kind of refresher work so they don't lose what they learned over the school year. I am still working, much to my dismay! That's okay. I just keep praying that some day I can be a stay at home mom again and get involved in the kids schools and also maybe some much needed girlfriend time while they are at school during the school year. It would be nice to get involved in a couple of Bible studies. I hope to start blogging more often than I was and visiting more people on their blogs! God bless!

Fundraiser!!!

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to let you know that Trevor's mom and step dad are in the process of adopting there second child from China. They have set up a fundraiser for the orphanage in hope that they can raise money for supplies such as diapers, medicine, etc. for the orphanage that their soon to be adopted daughter Madelyn is coming from. Please visit www.bringingmadelynhome.blogspot .com to help them reach there goal and bring some children much needed supplies. This could be a great way to show God's love to orphaned children. Thank you so much for checking this out! I will try to blog updates on this as I get them!

Quick Catch Up!

I guess it's time to update on this. I have gotten out of the blogging mode and have struggled to get back to it. I am behind on photos and all kinds of things. Well, work cut my hours in half. Apparently they are felling the crunch of the economy and they are cutting peoples hours. I can't say that I hate that! I am only working from 7:30 am until 11:30 am. I get home in time to get Morgan off of the bus and I LOVE IT! No more babysitters. I get to be home to see them both off the bus and this summer will be GREAT! It turns out to be a blessing. I am not happy at my job though. I am glad I have one, but since I am part time now, they took the liberty of changing everything on me. I am tired of doing customer service and was happy going to work when I worked full time. I enjoyed going there. Now they have changed everything I do and have put me back at customer service. I have to be honest when I say that I HATE IT!!! I have done customer service for many years, and one tends to get burned out dealing with the public..especially when it comes to people calling in about a bill they got that they are less than thrilled about, especially since they are feeling the economy too! UGH! Anyway, I really shouldn't complain, but it's hard to go to a job that you used to like, and now dislike with a great passion!!!! I guess I better go! I will try to post more soon and update the photos!

It has been a very long time since I have blogged! The holidays were busy as usual. Work has been crazy! I am going to try to devote more time to blogging again. This blog will be short and sweet, but stay tuned...........I will return!

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. I just wanted to post some pictures of Bryson playing soccer. He is nuber 8 in the white. He makes his mom and dad so proud. There is also a family picture and one of Morgan holding up her White Sox hat after a big win. We are a White sox family!

SMART GIRL!!!!

Here is a family picture. We look like a mess. This was taken after a day of soccer and a birthday party with family.

God Bless!

Busy, Busy!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so lon since I have blogged! We have just been busy between school, soccer practice for dynamo then old mill, bible study, choir practice, work, and homework. I just haven't found much time to blog. Tonight however is a different story. Although it is a Friday night, the kids are in bed early like it is a school night because Bryson has an 8:30 game tomorrow morning. Yeah, I said 8:30 in the AM on a Saturday! TOO EARLY!! This is our only day to sleep in and we have to be at the soccer fields at EIGHT O'CLOCK!!!!!! UGH! Oh well. This is Bryson's last game before tournaments. I have had so much fun being the assistant coach on his team. The kids have been great and have improved so much! I just hope they go a long way. Anyways, with Halloween right around the corner, the George household has been thinking up what we are going to be. Morgan is going to be a star wars character. It was Natalie Portman's character on the newer Star Wars series. Her cousin Keegan is going to be Anakin Skywalker. They both have matching buckets for trick or treating. Bryson isn't sure what he wants to be. He mentioned a vampire, but I'm not sure if he wants to do that or not. I want him to be a Jedi to go along with Morgan and his cousin Keegan, but he wants to be a scary character. He is getting to that age I guess. I remember when my brother was a wherewolf. He might have been around Bryson's age. Um.... what else......Oh, Chris' job is going well. I am having a ball with my Bible study, and Trevor is still a very busy teenager. He is doing well in school. He is taking an art class, and I have really enjoyed seeing his drawings. He's got some talent! He is going to homecoming with his friend Amanda. He said he is really excited. He will have so much fun. We are going to have two additions to each side of our families. Our niece Taylor will have a baby girl in February and my cousin Gina will have a baby in April. We are not yet sure of the sex of the baby. It is too early to tell. I guess that is a quick overview on our lives lately. I hope everyone is healthy and happy! Happy fall to all!

God Bless!
