This week

I am looking forward to this week to see what God is going to do. It seems like every week something is done in our lives thru Our Heavenly Father.

Jordan has been running a fever since early Saturday morning. I called the doctor's office today and they said she will need to be seen if she is still running the fever on Wednesday or she starts pulling on her ears.

I had a friend killed in an accident yesterday, his family is going to need our prayers. I have known this family for years, he was two of my brothers' Scout Master. He was a wonderful man. He is leaving behind his wife, two boys, and grandchildren. He will be sorely missed in our community. I will keep you updated on what God is doing in my family this week.

I hope you all don't think that I am only whining because I am don't doing this as that. I am wanting to show what God is doing in my family to His Glory.

Cold Tangerines

Hi all,

I am doing a review of the book called Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist.

The book is wonderful. If you can get your hands on a copy do it. There are short segments about her life and what she is going thru right then like a blog. At this time in my like this book was just what I need to read. I loved seeing how God was working in her life through everything that she went thru. The day I finished the book I found out that two people that I know have passed away. The first was a Pastor of my husband and the second was a good friend of my family, someone I have known for years. And the book just brought that to a more impact on my right now with her going thru the deaths in her life in the book. I have learned while reading this book to live in the moment to wishing tomorrow would come and then I would live.

Updates

Hi all,

Sorry it has been over a week since I posted. The kids were sick all of Spring Break. The only fun thing that we did was go get Ice Cream on the day every one was well.

We had Easter at our house with my father-in-law and just us. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

I got an update on my foot today. I will not be going back to work for the month of April. The doctor is talking about putting my on permanent restrictions. If I don't improve a lot this coming month. He will be putting a restriction of not being on my foot longer than 5 to 10 minutes. I don't know how that would work with three kids, coaching to baseball teams this summer, and just having fun with my family. If I get this restriction will not be able to go back to work, I don't know if that is good or not.

I know my God is a big God and HE WILL HEAL ME! I just don't know when. I am completely trusting Him on this whole thing.

First Day of Spring Break

Today has been so hectic and the kids are not having fun. They have been arguing and not getting along as normal. I hope I can do something fun with them this week. I wish I was upto driving. I also wish I was upto going to Silver Dollar City this week. I don't think I would last very long at all. I don't even walk around the store at Wal-Mart or Country Mart yet. I am looking forward to a week of having time with my kids. Pray that we can do something fun this week.

Isaac

I am so proud of Isaac he got all E's (A's) but one that was for Math and that was a S (B). He is so smart. The teacher wrote a note on his report card saying she wants to see his full potential in the 4th Quarter.

I have had a very eventful day. I had PT at 1pm, then Becca had her Kindergarten Shots at 2:15 pm. My Physical Therapist is very encouraged with my improvement. She was sick all last week and I had fill in Therapists.

Becca and I had a wonderful time last night painting our nails. We did her toe nails and we did all of my nails. She has made realize I need to be more girly. I am so glad God has given me a girly girl.

I am really looking forward to MOPS tomorrow. We are having a organizer speaking. That should be very informative.

Snow

Well we didn't get any snow. My kids were disappointed again. This is the second time this week we thought we were getting snow and it did not show up here. They are not the only ones that have wanted a snow day this week. I have went to bed both nights expecting to wake up to snow the next morning.

I had my fourth day of PT today. They are pushing me harder everyday. I am so sore when we are done. On a happier note I haven't used my crutches at all today.
