What is a hurdle? An upright frame that athletes must jump over during a race. To successfully accomplish hurdle racing a runner must have the proper skill and technique. It takes a well thought out plan. Should a runner hit a hurdle there is no penalty. During my times of track I never hurdled but I've been told that if a runner doesn't have the endurance, hurdles will get harder and harder as they come. This is my blog called "My Season of Hurdles".

No more floods...
Today has definitely been a blessed day words can't even describe. First of all Baby Jay is still with us and doing great! Just as I was praying this morning for God to make a way for Braylan to get into preschool (in which he's been on the waiting list for about 3 months), I called to check on his spot and the office lady tells me that she'd left me a message on my work voicemail yesterday, letting me know that his spot would be ready on the 22nd (the day that I am returning to work). Next as I was making my way out of the house to get Raghan registered for gymnastics this year and to go and pay my deposit for Bray's preschool, by the grace of God I decided to check the mailbox before I left only to find an unexpected check for a doctor bill that apparently we overpaid. The great thing about it is that the check was enough to cover everything that I needed to pay for today with money left over. As Raghan and I begin making our errand rounds we stopped by the hospital only to find that Jan, my coworker had a pair of black sandals for Raghan (among other things). I've been looking for some black sandals for Raghan's first day of school outfit that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Next my mother graced us with her presence to babysit Jay and Bray so that the Mike, Raghan and I could attend Raghan's school orientation. This was both Mike and my first time out of the house together without Baby Jay. We have a great feeling about Raghan's teacher and also feel that this is going to be a wonderful year. To top things off God blessed us with a beautiful rainbow this evening to complete our day. Through the rainbow I felt that God spoke to my heart. Once again throughout the day he completely blessed me letting me know that He got this. Everything that I'm going through, He's there for me and there will be nothing that comes my way that I'll have to worry about. The book of Genesis tells us that after the flood God sent a rainbow. The rainbow was a covenant between God and the earth that He would never flood the earth again. It lets me know in my life today that God will never flood my life with more than I can bear. As a matter of fact He's just waiting to bless me in more ways than I can imagine when I least expect it. Why? Because He is who He is. He's AWESOME, He's MAGNIFICENT, He's WONDERFUL, He's GLORIOUS, He's God and God is good!
