I Survived Yesterday!!!

Thank You for your comments and love.

It was one of those days that you just think

you can't face anyone.  Your heart is heavy and

tears are just below the surface...

except when they aren't. 

Then they are annoying!

I got a call from my Aunt Naomi

yesterday morning.

She was just checking in to

see how we were doing.

What a sweet lady she is.

I felt better after chatting with her.

We made it to bowling and I got to see my

dear friend, Phyllis.  She happens to be the

Momma of Mrs. Rabe (Creekside Cottage). 

I love her.  Yes, I do.

We spent lovely time chatting away.

I actually bowled one game...

the first in months.

I think it may be my very last as my neck complained

from the very first frame and even now is hen pecking

me to never, ever do that again.

Sigh....

Mikey has been having gushing bloody noses since he

took an elbow to the face during a game of ultimate frisbee

a couple of months ago.  They called from his work on

Monday and he was not feeling too well after another bad

one...his second that day...it was 9:00 am.  So....we went

to the doctor and got that cauterized.  So far, so good.

Chelsea had been struggling hard with her Anorexia and

on Monday morning agreed to see her doctor about it.

So, after Mikey's appointment it was Chelsea's turn.

Her doctor is amazing.  

We are scheduled to see a specialist later this month.

On this we need prayer.

Chelsea has decided that by the time we see the next

doctor they are going to see that she is completely healthy

and send her home healed.

I say...go for it...my dear girl.

If that is the motivation you need to be healthy

then that doctor is worth her co-pay!!!!

So....this means that yesterday was a good eating day.

But, that was just one day.

It will take many of these to return her to health.

So much remains unsaid but I am ever so thankful

that my girl and I are close. 

I love her to pieces!!!

She is so brave to go public with this.

We go to the doctor for Warren tomorrow for chronic

pain that is just terrible.  His pain medication doesn't touch it.

Please pray that they can do something to relieve this

pain.  We are all getting cranky...You know?

So...last night we had a kick-off meeting for our homeschool

co-op and I did something I have never done before.

Mrs. Rabe asked me if I would be willing to pray to open

the meeting....I declined. 

Too weepy. 

Not going there in front of

all those wonderful parents.  But, she understood and asked

one of the Dads and he was happy to do it.

That is the worst of the happenings around here.

In the grand scheme of things it is not that bad...

but add it all together and I really needed those

verses yesterday.  I kept coming back and reading

them all the while re-reading your comments.

I was blessed.

Truly.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

 He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear

and put their trust in the LORD.

 Blessed is the man

who makes the LORD his trust.

Another precious Psalm.

A treasure.
