Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing well but boy I would be lying if I said I was not tired today. Mark got home around 8 pm last night & the pups went crazy just like I knew they would. He came in, had so dinner, changed clothes & then we chatted & watched TV for a couple hours & then I decided to go to bed as I was totally exhausted from the last couple of days. Mom woke up several times through the night but every time I fell right back to sleep. I was woken up this morning by a very sweet surprise by Mark. He made Mom breakfast in bed. I was sound asleep & didn't even know he was out of bed. Mom got up, ate breakfast, did the dishes, made sure the pups were all set, took a shower, & then took the pups for a nice walk. The day is beautiful outside. It is 68 degrees & sunny. Just a nice Fall day overall. Tomorrow the temps are going to be in the upper 70's & sunny as well. Such a nice day for everyone to travel down here. Mom is excited for our visit with everyone. It will be such a treat after being alone all week long. 
 Today, Mark was right at it again with work. Never a break for him at all. He has been on the phone all day long with the people that he was at for the week. It is crazy. Mom has every intention of going out & doing the shopping today & coming home & paying bills. Well.... I decided to go out 1st thing in the morning to do the shopping & I did attempt to pay the bills but for some reason there is an issue with the debit card & we are awaiting a call back from the bank. So to make a long story short... nothing was accomplished by me today. Hopefully during the weekend I will have the chance to get everything all squared away. Mom did not study at all again & I really feel bad but I figured that I will start fresh on Monday for sure. This dang class is not going to do anything itself so I must crack down & just get through it all! I have a different attitude towards things since my chat with Aunt Beck! Guess I needed it! 
 This weekend will be filled with lots of good things for us all. Saturday, as you know everyone will be here for a nice visit & then Sunday will be running around in the morning & then cooking & relaxing the rest of the day. Oh wow... I just happened to look at the time & I can't believe that it is already 4:13 pm. Where the heck did this day go? Mom just got off the phone with one of her friends. She had surgery yesterday & I was checking in with her to see how she was doing. All is well & she will be back to normal in no time! Mom is proud of her. It is tough stuff. Not much else really has gone on since yesterday. Mom will be getting the pups fed & getting dinner prepped for the night pretty soon. After that it will be watching TV & to bed early for me. I am sure to have updates for you in the next couple of days. Here are the prayers for the day: 
  May you step back tonight and give time and space to consider this truth: No circumstance, no enemy, no opposition can keep you from God's best purpose for you! Your unbelief is the only roadblock you have to deal with. God can do in a moment what takes us years to accomplish. Consider afresh what impossible things Jesus wants to do in and through you. Kneel, if you can. Open your hands. Look past your frustrations and consider His promises. Tonight, may Jesus find faith and expectancy in your heart. And may He download fresh insights while you sleep. Bless you!
  May Jesus bring a fresh revelation to your soul. May you suddenly understand—on a profoundly deep level—how precious you are to Him. May you listen for His voice and make the wise life-adjustments you need to make. There’s an inheritance verse for you in scripture; may you search ‘till you find it, and wield it precisely and powerfully. The enemy has no strength against God’s living and active Word! You are not at the mercy of your circumstances, you’re saturated in the mercies of Almighty God and they come to you new every single morning. Breathe in His promises, exhale your frustrations; wrap your arms around His grace and rest in the knowledge that you are never alone. May it be well with your soul today. 
 Here is the saying for the day as well: When something really really matters to you, LET IT GO! Say to the Universe: " You know what I want. Give it to me in the path of least resistance. Give it to me the easiest way possible. Give it to me in any way I can get it! " 
Mom needs to get going for now my sweet precious son. I hope that your night is filled with all the things you need & would like it to be. Come be with Mom if you can. I miss you so much & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You are forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. Mom will whisper to you like I always do so be listening for my voice a couple times this evening. I will smile to you & hope you will smile back to Mom. Continue to fly free as I know you love to fly now! You are my shining star, Tyler! Mom wil be back tomorrow so until then.... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
