Pain Pain Go Away!

Well I have been down for the count since Saturday night. I ended up going to the ER on Monday morning. They had to do a small, but horribly painful procedure on me to relieve pressure and ended up having to pack it, which causes more pressure! I have to go back Wednesday night to the hospital to get it unpacked and see if they have to actually do something that I would have to go into the hospital for. God willing I will be home Wednesday night.
The pain from all of this is so horrible I cant do anything for myself. I am so blessed that we were able to move into town and become neighbors with my friend Katie. She is right there when I need something. And right there to yell at me for doing things I am not suppose to do right now...lol. Trust me, she gets on my case the same way I do her!!! She came and watched a movie with me, took my mind off of stuff for a little while. Even brought me cookies! Now what could be better than cookies!? lol
Dave works 2 jobs and we cant afford to take any time off so it really is a blessing to have the Mathenas so close to me now. Please continue to pray not just for this episode, but that I can continue to lose weight and be approved for the bypass. The doctor said that this will keep happening until the weight is gone. I guess the cookies dont really help the situation does it? lol

Picture Perfect Day

I had a real nice day today with Katie at the church. We worked on the library we are trying to get going. We got ALOT of books done today, but there is still alot more to do. But anyone who knows us, knows that when Katie and I get together it is NEVER all work...lol. She has been asking me for weeks now to take pictures of her and one thing or another always got in the way and it never got done. I think it would have been really pretty to take them outside or something with all of the beautiful leaves chaning colors, but we waited too long and now it is cold and windy. But they cam e out beautiful anyways.
Last night my power kept going out so I didnt get any sleep. I was afraid that the power would stay out and Dave wouldnt wake up for work so I stayed up for him. Even though I was horribly tired today, we had a very nice time and I even got y bedroom unpacked tonight!

So you will be hearing form me soon!

Toys on the Stairs

A woman from my church was telling me about something her daughter had said. The little girl said. " Mommy, make sure to watch out for the toys on the stairs." The woman couldnt figure out what she was talking about and then the little girl said, "The Lord said to watch out for toys on the stairs". Then she realized she meant toils and snares! For one, it had to be the cutest thing I had heard in a long time. But then I began to think about the pure innocence in that statement that she made. Even though it was not the exact words, she saw the danger in the warning we were given.
I think sometimes we, or atleast I, tend to overthink things. Sometimes the Lord's answer to a problem isnt as complex of an answer as we are looking for. Therefore it is overlooked and we think he doesnt answer us at all. I know personally I have done that many times, and then later on I see the answer he had given me and regret not listening. God wouldnt make something so complex for only a genius to figure out. He wants us to trust and love him. Look for the simplicity of the faith in the Lord...Oh, and watch out for the toys on the stairs!

Summer 2009

Alot of neat and not so neat stuff has been going on lately. First off, DAVE GOT A JOB!!!! Praise the Lord! We had just emptied our savings account the day before he got it. It seems to be going well. We just have to get use to the schedule change. And he is aching pretty bad because he hasnt worked in over 6 months, not full time atleast. So pray for him please.

The babies arent doing well at all. Champ decided he liked it better outside so thats where he is now and I havent seen him in a week. Smoke is having kidney failure and I dont think he is going to be around much longer. OH, and we are infested with fleas. YUCK! We have tried 3 times to get rid of them but are trying something different on Wednesday...suppose to do the trick.
