Preschool

Family Updates:
Eli is potty trained (for the most part)...yeah!! Aunt Lindsey and her friend Aubrey came from Nashville about a month ago to hang out with us for about a week. Aubrey is an incredible preschool teacher and knew a ton of tips. She suggested the three day times hardcore underwear approach. After the first half of day he seemed to catch on rather quickly. He of course has had his share of accidents, but overall we feel like he has done well and we are grateful for this transition.
Today Eli started preschool. It is strange to be sitting here without him. It was an adventure for him I think. We will see how his first day goes...I will update tomorrow with all the details that I can find out about it. Chris and I both took him this morning and they got him out of our backseat. He seemed to do well going in...they were painting today and he loves that! We pray that he can learn to be a good friend this year. This has been an ongoing request for us. We have had so many incredible friends in our lives and can look back and see the impact they have had on our lives. We want Eli to be a truly good friend. Not exactly sure what that looks like for a 2 and a half year old, but the Lord does...and He hears our hearts.
We have been on a journey with where we are suppose to be in a local body of believers. We feel like we are still trying to figure that out, but are trusting in the Lord to make this decision clear to us. I feel like we will look back on this season of our lives and see the Lord preparing us for something...though we are unsure what that is right now. Pray that our next steps will be evident to us, but until they are that we will move in way that allows those around us to see Jesus. We want to be faithful with the opportunities He has given us today and not just look to what is coming!
May this be a day that we focus on the gift of salvation.
Psalm 67:1-3
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine upon us,
Selah
2 that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
3 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.
