Special request

I knew that as school got going that I wouldn't blog as much, and it has been that way so far. Things are going good with Brayden and I. He is going SO good in school. I couldn't be more proud of him! This school year has been more challenging than last year, but day by day things in my classroom are SLOWLY getting where they need to be... not for a lack of trying! I will post more once I actually sit down and think about it!

One specific piece of news that has been on my heart over the last week: One of my dearest friends since 7th grade (BBC - she knows what it means!) had a precious little boy last Wednesday. Tuesday night at exactly 11:15 Jennifer called to tell me that she and her husband, Josh were on the way to the hospital to have little Tucker. I hadn't heard from her by Wednesday at 8:15 and I knew she wouldn't have hesitated to call me, so I called her. She told me that little Tucker had a tough time just before he was born and during the delivery. She had a healthy pregnancy and was so excited when I talked to her, so I was in total shock when she filled me in on the details. Tucker was born with some complications but is hanging in there each day. I ask that each person that reads this blog, or happens upon it, rather you know me or not to pray for Tucker Helton. His kidney function is not very strong and he needs to potty. Right now, this is what he needs to focus on doing. I know that God will work all things in his time and will bring all of the glory to him. I would like for everyone to pray for Jenn, Josh, Kadence, Tucker and the rest of the family. There is a blog set up www.tuckerhelton.blogspot.com for more information.

Thanks for all the prayers! We should not take anything that God has blessed us with forgranted. Everything we have is a blessing from him and we should praise him and thank him daily for what we have.
