Today was our first day of school. We were heading back after having the summer off and a two day bonus (thank you tropical storm FAY!). Maya was ecstatic to be returning and I was..I was..I was sad that my summer was over to be quite truthful! Now, don't get me wrong, I love my job, I work with amazing women and the cutest children in Broward county but I was already missing my summer.
Maya and I sometimes do this "Daily Praise Song" game where we can only pick one song (and we take turns unless one of us has been TRULY inspired and just have to have our own spoiled rotten way!). Well in the middle of all of her exhilarating chatter I decided that we HAD to have our DPS for our first day of third grade. I chose LIFESONG for today. We all know the song and sing along with it all the time but I wanted Maya to start her day with the reminder that she is HIS hands and feet and that the way she lives her daily life should be pleasing to HIM and bring a great big 'ole smile to her Father's face!
Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet
So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You
The kicker to this and the reason I began blogging again after such a long hiatus is that when we said prayers tonight she told me that she had a great day and that she could 'sign His name to the end of this day' (another line of the song).
Were you able to say the same?

It's so good to read your blog again! I have the boy Mommy thing down pretty well but you inspire me with your special way with Maya! I can only hope and pray Lindsay and I will be that close!
Ok, Ok- I will try to visit next week after labor day. I have been letting her go at her own pace and helping her attach to us firmly before venturing out much. She is doing so well now and we are truly blessed! I do miss seeing you all- really! I love being home but miss teacher friends! Gotta see tha Maya!
