Living By Daily Grace

Dec. 9, 2008 - That Was Weird

You'd think it's the middle of spring around here. After finally falling asleep last night, we had a thunderstorm hit. No biggie until the loudest clap of thunder I have ever heard. Ten minutes later we have a first in December. . . .TORNADO SIRENS!!!!!!!! My first words as I woke to this was "you've got to be joking me." Thankfully the storm was past us. When the whole city is under a warning everyone gets the sirens. Since there was no storm around us, Underdog and I (along with JB who I think flew out of bed. . .literally) turned on the news. Sure enough, there was rotate in a cell over our city but it had already past our home and there was nothing behind. We decided to go back to bed. Unfortunately, my adrenaline was already pumping so I could fall asleep again after that. The enemy sure does have an interesting way of keeping me from doing what I feel is most pleasing to my Savior. I have felt for months now that I needed to be going to bed early and rising early to spend time in the Word. Well, last night was the first night I got in bed before 10pm. Finale wouldn't fall asleep for nearly an hour (until Daddy turned out his light) and then we get this silly warning. Needless to say, it was kind of a rough night for me. Once Finale went to sleep she slept all night (much to my dismay as my body is still adjusting to nursing, URGH!!!!) I finally got up at 6:30am which is not what I intended at all. Oh well. There is grace and forgiveness for not getting up early this morning. But I sure looking forward to it.

(BTW, they haven't determined if we had tornadoes last night or not. There is a county nnorth of us that sustained pretty severe damage and people are waking up to not electricity this morning. They better hurry on that part though. We have a pretty significant cold front headed our way. It going to get cold and those people are going to need heat.)

My plans for today are continue cleaning my house. It's really hard to clean a house when you can't vacuum. I have two weeks to go until my 6 weeks post partum appointment. I can't wait. Then I will be released to vacuum my house. In the meantime, I am doing some major decluttering around here. I want to simplify this place and get it in top order before we start our second semester. We also have to make bread this morning. I need coffee!!!! LOL!!!!

Dec. 25, 2008 - Tornado Sirens?

Hi,
I haven't heard of tornado sirens since I lived in Brownfield, Texas. It seemed that we had tornadoes at lease once a month. At least tornado drills with the siren once a month. I see you have changed your web page design again. Looks Great! Keep on blogging!
May God Bless You and Family!!!

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 19 months to 9 yod and our "Finale" due in November '08. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
