A Late Start

We knew it would hit sooner or later and at about 3:45am it was verified that CJ was indeed sick. Her nose was running, her cough was more frequent and she had a fever. Daddy of course hates when his Princess is sick and made sure she had everything she needed before he left out for work. We tried to fight the cold and CJ stood strong as long as she could but the cold got tough in the last round. When CJ does not eat or drink you know there is a problem.

When Daddy came home he did manage to get her to eat a few potatoe wedges and drink some water. Daddy was glad to see tgat CJ was loud and running around when he came home. CJ is actually now fighting her sleep as I type so the tide is turning and Daddy is glad. CJ is his partner in crime and he needs her to be well to help create havoc.

So you all keep praying for her health and strength. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. Her health needs to get right.

Could Not Make It

Daddy and CJ had a long day. Church at 8am and 11am. Then we had to rush home to prepare for company later on in the day. CJ has many sisters and brothers and a few came over to have dinner with Daddy and Mommy and of course visit CJ. CJ could not make it for the entire visit because the hour was late and CJ has been up and down with a bad cough.

The cough is a bit nerve wrecking because nothing ever comes up. I am glad she does not have a fever. She is also eating and still getting into everything that is not nailed down. Daddy does get a little worried when his little mamma is not 100%. She is a little ball of energy and you come to expect that at all times. Daddy just prays that whatever it is that she has goes away. You all pray too, prayer changes things, people, and situations. Prayer can get rid of that nasty cough too.

Packed

This weekend was suppose to be a free and enjoyable one. It still has been enjoyable but not free at all. %t has been busy and Daddy is exhausted. We have two church services tomorrow and we have guests tomorrow evening. So much to do with so little time. Pray for us.

TIRED

Daddy was tired, Mommy was tired, even CJ was tired when we all got together after our long day. We were suppose to go shopping but we did not feel like it. We instead went to the mall, walked around then went to dinner. At dinner, tonight it was the Olive Garden, CJ continued to speak to everyone she came in contact with. She spoke to the other babies around but they did not return her greetings. The waitress fell in love with her and could not stay away from the table. The only bad thing was that CJ hit some little girl as she walked past our table. Daddy told her that she should not do that, hopefully she understands.

We came home and Daddy bathed CJ. It is Thursday so you know the routine. Daddy prepared her for bed and as he prayed with her she leaned her head against Daddy's and dozed off. So Daddy quickly read the 23 Psalm to her and mentioned to her that one day she would memorize it.

So a long day has come to an end, God brought us through. We pray that we get rejuvenated. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. Keep us in your effectual and fervent prayer!

NOTE TO CJ: Some times your body will tell you to rest even when your mind is active and trying to do more and more. It is tough to get your mind in sync with your body. Rest is essential to your health so try to get as much of it as you can.

The Last I Saw

The last I saw of CJ it was about 7:30am this morning. When I looked back to say goodbye she was still asleep. So Mommy took her inside and Daddy work day began. I arrived home around 10:30pm to find her sleeping. So I kissed my finger and placed them on her cheek.

So Daddy prayerfully will see his Princess awake! So Daddy solicits your prayers. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Is It Worth It

Daddy woke up this morning asking the question, "Did Martin Luther King ever wake up one morning and say forget all this?" This was on his mind because Daddy is trying to figure things out. A career is becoming more and more challenging. Daddy said that he understood why Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfield's ear. At one moment he realized he was not fighting his type of fight, he saw himself losing in his opponents eyes, he was without his trainer, what was he do to? The only thing he could do is revert back to not caring and being an animal. Now Daddy is not an animal but one of his friends called a timeout and gave him a pep talk, provided some gatorade and told him to get back in the ring and keep fighting.

Daddy knows that CJ is the center of his life, well CJ and Mommy. He wakes up to be with them, goes to work to support them, and comes home to relax with them. He enjoys their company and would do anything he felt necessary to make sure they are protected. He does not do what he does for himself. God wakes him up everyday to be a beacon of light for those he comes in contact with. God has a plan and Daddy has to get in line with it.

CJ was on the subtle side today. She was actually good. She is a joy and Daddy loves to dance with her when we are hanging around the house doing nothing. Now she is sleeping, Daddy will catch up to her with the snores soon enough. So for now folks, keep those prayers going up. the situation needs changing and prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Doctor Love

An ole skool club by First Choice titled, "Doctor Love" is one of Daddy's favorite club songs. Take a listen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMqGqu0241U)

Today, was CJ's 18 month visit to the doctor. When they offered this date Daddy asked whether or not they would be open tonight due to the holiday and they said, yes. SOo Daddy saw no harm in accepting the date. CJ was a mess at the doctors office too, she even opened the door to a supply closet. She interacted well with the other children in the office until one became bossy and CJ chose not to be bothered with her.

Her visit went well. She continues to be tall for her age and a little bigger than most, lol! We prayerfully do not have to go back until August.

Now you know CJ and Daddy were Valetine's, Daddy gave CJ crown shaped earrings because she is his Princess. He has decided that he will always show CJ what a woman should be treated like and how a man should treat a woman. Daddy has also decided to begin planning CJ and his first date. Right now he knows it will be out of state, near water.

Daddy loves his Princess and wants only the best for her. Daddy understands that he must be a positive example in her life. How a man should treat her is how Daddy treats Mommy. What a man is suppose to be will be exemplified in Daddy. So you all keep praying that Daddy is the model of a man that CJ can learn from. Daddy is not perfect but tries to live right, daily. Keep praying folks, we know that prayer changes things, people, and situations.
