Full Week

With work and meetings at church it has been quite a full week. A sampling of today...get up, go to work, Josh took my car to the dealership to get tires and an oil change after he got off work, I got off work, we picked up the car, came home, made tacos for dinner, freshened up a bit, rushed out the door to Target to pick up diapers and such, made a return to Gymboree, went to meetings at church (left early b/c of Josh's work meeting), came home, Josh off to his meeting, tidy up the kitchen after dinner, throw in a load of laundry, help the girls straighten their room, pay bills, and check blogs (where I am now again).

I am constantly thinking about Stellan. If you haven't you can read his story at www.mycharmingkids.net. It's quite a story and miracle. Please pray for him. He and his family need our prayers so much!! What an awesome thing that people from all over the world literally are praying for this little baby and as the Bible says "where two or three (or hundreds of thousands) are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them".

My beloved awesome husband surprised me and cleaned the house this afternoon. What a treat. It has been straightened each day, but vacuuming and dusting--not this week--until today. We were gone on the weekend, so that took away some cleaning time. No sweat, the cleaning is always there when you get back--lol!

These meetings have been awesome and definitely something I need. I know the girls and Josh have been enjoying them also. Aliyah's age group's focus is on obedience. You can't ever learn to much about obedience. They learned the definition--doing exactly what your told to do, when you're told to do it, with the right heart attitude. Their stories go along with it of course. It's been awesome to have immediate & cheerful obedience from her. The adults get a few topics each night, uplifting & awesome music, and lots of prayer. It's cool because it is emphasized over and over that we aren't looking at how my friend, relative, neighbor needs this, but how "I" need it.

We have several more things on our list for tomorrow to add to our full schedule week: haircut for me (can't wait), a trip to Lowe's for some stuff we need outside, lunch at Chili's, a trip to W for some special bricks, the grocery store, work outside in the afternoon, and off to meeting tomorrow night. I'm hoping to cross several things off that list!!
