House Mom material?

It is funny how Satan tries to tempt us with the same things over and over again.
What is sad is that so often we fail and fall into the same exact thing.
I am so glad for the somewhat tiny tests that I am having to face because it is good preparation for future possibilities of failure if I do not keep my eyes on Christ. He is so faithful.
I also think it is interesting how we sometimes go through the same things because we did not learn what we were supposed to learn previously. And I am glad I am handling situations differently and with the strength of the Lord, the attitude of Christ, and the mind of the Redeemer. I am not perfect but it is exciting to make good choices, for the right reasons, and to be obedient to the Lord's calling. He is so beautiful.
So last night I went to bed by like 11, I was so exhausted. And then I woke up at 9:45 when Aimee was getting up and I asked her to wake me up at 10. She attempted to wake me up but I didn't budge, so she left me there. I woke up at 10:45 and was like, why didn't you wake me up! She laughed and told me what happened and I was so surprised because I am normally a very light sleeper! But I was totally out, my body needed that sleep hardcore!
We cleaned up some and finished up some things that we needed to around the house. It was really good to talk to the family today and to catch up with some of them.
Then we went into town for groceries and I also got some dvds. They are SUPER cheap here!
At 6 we began our babysitting. I loved every moment of it. Minus the part when they did not want to go to bed because we don't get the same respect as the house mother's since they want to push the rules with us. But seriously, we colored forever! And Twilight was playing in the background but then we changed it to 3:10 to Yuma. Then they went to bed at 10 but Yhonson had taken a nap for like 3 hours so he was not tired and he and Cristofer woke up two of the 4 year olds so we made them come out in the kitchen and sit quietly. We ended up playing Spoons, but very quietly. Then we sent them back but Yhonson still couldn't sleep so we brought him out into the kitchen and made Cristofer go to sleep. Then the house mom's came back and they let us stay and play cards and me and Aimee were cracking up the whole time! It was hilarious!
It obviously wasn't like an everyday typical evening but I really enjoyed it a whole heck of a lot!
I am so not ready to leave this place. It breaks my heart to think of the day when I have to say goodbye to these kids. Yikes! No bueno! I don't even like to think of it! They are always like, when do you leave and when I tell them they are always like, no and they double it or even triple the time I have left. They each have a special place in my heart and if I could take some of them home with me, I would in a hearbeat! I hope to be back no later than March, and I truly believe that God will make it happen somehow, someway. I trust in Him. He's a BIG God =]
Now I am really tired and need my sleep so take care, God bless, stay strong in the Lord!
