CATS

So, Matt & I went to see the musical CATS. Lets just say its not what I remembered from childhood and sweet Matt was gracious and sat through it. Not recommended for first time musical goers, we'll try again next time, we're thinking Hairspray. Either way it was a cultural experience for us both and Matt got a glimpse of what I grew up doing. All in all it was a fun night out with my honey! On the schedule for tomorrow: Denton Dog Days of Summer with Judah, yeah!

Today is the day

Today is the day I have decided to put my best foot forward and let the Lord lead me wherever it is I need to go. Health problems, He'll heal them one way or another. I am determined to go on with my life and do the things that I love to do and do them all in excellence! Can I get an "Amen."

"and if you're like me you need a hope, a coffee, a melody, just sit back down and let keep spinning round, cause yesterdays gone and today is waiting on you to show your face. And it might not be the prettiest thing you've ever seen but its a new day, oh baby its a new day........and if you look outside and see a beautiful sunrise, then its a new day, its a new day, its a new day" -Robbie Seay

Thank you Lord that Your mercies are new EVERY morning!

Mayo or no Mayo?

So I've been feeling yucky off and on for a while now but things have been getting steadily worse lately. The hours of feeling good which really means "normal" are getting fewer and farther between.  I am tired of being tired and lethargic and weak! I am just ALL DONE with this! Matt finally made me go to the doctor today and guess what, they had a cancellation so I got in right away. Well, when I showed up, the doctor got called out and never came back. Ce la vie. So after waiting for two hours I re-scheduled for tomorrow and came home.  Hoping and praying for some answers tomorrow so that I don't have to go to Mayo.  A lot of family members, including my wonderful husband, think I should just go to Mayo and get totally checked out and fixed since there have been so many issues the last year or so.  I would love to just go to Minnesota and get checked out and fixed BUT......I have three small children, Matt has school for his teacher certification coming up, Noah is about to graduate from Kindergarten, the babies aren't babies anymore, I have school, I need to work more, and I need to be available to interpret at church.....the list goes on and on and on!  What am I supposed to do?  So I have come to a decision, effective immediately, all of these things, especially this "feeling yucky" because I am NOT sick, are going in the God box. In case you don't know what the God box is, its a proverbial box that I put worries, stresses, etc. in in order to give them to God and get them off of my chest, and shoulders.  LORD you decide, should I stay or should I go?  I'll let you know when HE answers......
