Completing the Agenda - Or Not

Well, the day is winding down. It didn't work out exactly the way I thought it would but that's ok! How often does life follow the agenda anyway? :)

I have been having some trouble this week with a pulled muscle in my shoulder. I thought it might be a bit better this morning but apparently not. Just a few minutes after posting my blog this morning I had a major muscle spasm that was certainly no fun! So life got rearranged.

I decided since there was half a loaf of store bought loaf bread I wouldn't try to push and bake any. So scratch that from the list. In fact, I did not do anything around the house today! Rest was the key after that ordeal!

Instead I took time to call our "daughter" and had a nice time catching up with her.

I also went visiting with the FisherMan. How nice to pop in on some of our folks from church! I even got the surprise of playing with a certain little princess, better known in some parts as Chicken Little. We stopped in to check on her grandparents and she was there, too. What could be sweeter than a precious baby grinning from ear to ear when she looks up at you?

When we got back the children played outside with their Daddy while I got supper going. Oh, and it was the chicken tortilla casserole....I eventually remembered....along with fresh beans and fresh corn on the cob. Yum!

Life can't always be held to a list or an agenda. You can try but sometimes things just happen. When that is the case, don't let it get the best of you. Go with the flow and realize every moment is a gift from God. Treasure it even when you don't feel your best or things aren't going so well. At the end of the day you'll be glad you did. :)

  1. Blessings to you.
    I was delighted to see your icon as a follower to my blog. Welcome and so glad you're a blogging friend.
    I will enjoy getting to know you better through blogging.
    Your header is precious!

    It's disturbing to think so many abortions are taking place as your counter indicates. Such a sad statement about destroying life...120,000 babies a day. To think all this god given talent that each baby has that will never be birthed on earth and used for God's glory and to bless others is a horror.

    Visit with you again real soon, ~D~

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
