This morning was Tumor Clinic for Grace. We dread this morning, we have to get up early, travel 1 hour to the office and wait pretty much the whole morning to be seen by one specialist or the other. We praise God however that our visit is much shorter than others who have a tougher road ahead. As we sit in the waiting room with children who are bald, who should be walking but arent and those who just look like they feel horrible I say thanks to our God over and over for His miracle of saving our Gracie.
But on to the works of God in our lives this morning... I lost my debit card a week ago. I still dont have my new one. We were low on Gas but had enough to get us there.I was going to go to the bank to get cash this am but it doesnt open until 0715. So Grace in her tired voice says "do we have time to go to Chic Fil A?" (usually we stop 1 exit up from Dr's office) but this morning I said what the hay lets stop in C'ville. So I did. I gave the lady my credit card ( no debit card remember) and she hands me our food. She then looks at me and says "this card has expired". I look at it and sure enough it expired last night. I say I am sorry, I have no way to pay and hand her the food. This amazing woman in the car behind us yells, "hey, I'll get it!!", I am like "no way, its my fault, didnt realize the card expired". She says "really, I got it!" I am like "thank you so much" so we get our food and move on. Not that that was not a miracle enough (Thank you God for the kindness of strangers. Remind me to do the same for someone else) BUT the bigger miracle is that if we had not stopped at Chic Fil A in C'ville and learned that our card was expired I would have gotten to Atlanta possibly with enough gas, possibly not due to the horrendous traffic, but we would have never made it home. and I had NOTHING! So even when you think what crappy luck, I had no cash and my credit card was expired. It is good to know that God provided the knowledge of that before I got so far away that I could not have made it home.
I love you Lord!!!!

Where Has the Time Gone?
I cannot believe it is February! This year has gotten off to a crazy start. I just wanted to pop on here tonight and see how long since I posted and it was thanksgiving. THANKSGIVING!!!!! I guess thats where it all started to go so crazy.....
On December the 10th I started my new job as director of the unit I have staffed on for 13 years. It is a dream come true. I was thinking the other day that it might have been perfect if it happened a year later. Then Mary Paige would have been in school full time and I wouldnt have to miss those extra days I got with just her. But God has a funny way of working things out. And I am thankful everyday that He has trusted me with such an awesome task.
On December 17th I got my acceptance letter to GA Highlands to start the process of getting my Bachelors degree.
Then Christmas of course, New Years, Time just rolled on....
Then I started school the first week of January and between family, work, school and being involved at church I have just been to busy to do some of the things I love, like blogging or reading or just sitting in front of the TV vegging out.
So if I am not able to post as much, thats OK. This crazy life we have is but a moment in God's story and I want to enjoy it as much as possible.
God has richly blessed me. I hope that I do something for someone to Bless them.
Some things in my life that bless me:
1. Reading my post about my dad and seeing my Nana's comments. I knew I wasnt the only one to love him but its nice to hear others stories
2. Getting the news that GG's MRI was once again clear... I told her if thats the only good news I get this year I am good. (and I mean it)
3. Watching Abby blossom into a young lady and expeirence her 1st love
4. Mary Paige coming to me with another story. In her 4year old voice and animation sometimes it is better than a book from the best author.
5. Game nights with Nana and pawpaw. They dont realize it but it is my favorite night of the week.
6. Knowing we are getting another Bentley baby this year. What is more fun than that?
7. Knowing that Shannon and I are securing our financial future by absorbing as much knowledge as we can on the subject and doing. It. Together!
Lets go 2011..........
