Heya Gals! Whatcha' all up to? It's so funny. I was writing a post to a friend, when all of a sudden I got a revelation. I have noticed for the past two months, for eight Wednesdays, including this one, it's a very cloudy overcast day. Picture it, if you will. You wake up, you stretch and you lay there in bed, talking yourself to get up and face the glorious day that God has blessed you with! So, you get up just for that and well, of course, the house would fall apart if you didn't, not to mention the litte five year old girl who needs to learn new things. Lol. And so, you get up out of bed, and you look out the window.....Yep, this must be Wednesday! Why? Because for the past 7 Wedneday mornings, you have ventured to peek out those frilly curtains, you see nothing but dark grey omnimous clouds that seem to yell at you to get your hind end back in bed and sleep in till Thurday. Hehe. It always ends up raining on Wednesday. It hasn't rained yet and I am so trusting in this prediction of the past Wednedays, that I just know it will rain this afternoon just as we head out the door for church. I also am theorizing on why the weather is like this. See, my moods are affected by weather, as well as my health. I get lovely annoying headaches and fatigue on these gloomy gus days. But, I realize that this is obviously a test, not only for me, but for the many church goers during mid week. God is allowing Satin to try to keep up from coming to church to worship Him! And God is letting that be my personal and everyone else's that is affected by this, test. Well, by golly, gee WIZ! I am NOT gonna let Satin bring me down and I am going to prove to my loving God that I will be there tonight for church! Yes, it is through Him that I have this streagth to show up at church to fellowship with other church goers to overcame the same battle, I did and to worship and praise God for the streangth He gave us to do it! So, today, even though I am tired, have a head ache and maybe just a lil' fussy from lack of sleep (I'll get into that, too! Sorry....), I am showing up for God. He died for me to save my soul, well, the least I can do it show up at church to praise Him and worship Him. And you know, the funny thing is, I walk into church feeling kinda worn out and fatigued, but I walk out feeling like a new woman filled with God's love and His healing on my tired body. PRAISE THE LORD!!! AMEN!!!! Am I right, ladies?
Okay, on to last night's events. I didn't get to bed till 2:30 am, because the beloved cat I was telling you all about yesterday got sick all of a sudden! And I do mean really sick. The messy from both ends kind of sick. Sorry, TMI....anyways, so I took him in to see the vet on call and turns out, the poor guy is allergic to the food we feed him. All of a sudden! It just hit him! I was in awe. So, Barry's ok, now, thank goodness and he's loving his new diet of boiled chicken, baby food chicken, pediatyte......he really does love it. Lol. But after two weeks, I will be buying the high quality cat food with no corn or gluten in it. It costs a whopping $30 for a 16 pound bag! Ridiculous, you say? I agree! Hehe. But, Barry's worth it and I will pay whatever we can spare to keep our daughter's lil' buddy healthy and alive. So, ladies, bare with me today, if I seem a bit.....out of it and even more scatterbrained than the norm. I am just walking around on pure adrinaline fumes. Hehe. I will be hitting the hay early tonight and I am pretty sure when I wake up tomorrow morning and look out my frilly curtains, it will be sun shiny once again, being that Wednesday will be over! Have a glorious day and God bless all of you! Hugs,

I agree with you. Here in Mo we have had more cloudy days than sunny days. It gets kind of depressing Look on the bright side, at least we're still alive. I asked my dh the other day if we were living in Washington state because they have a lot of cloudy and rainy days you know?
I have to tell you something. You are a good writer. I bet you can write poetry. I love the way you tell stories It's like I'm reading a book. I wish I could write like that. But you know what? I think the more I write the better at it I will get. It just dawned on me as I am writing I already notice a difference on how I'm thinking. Wow isn't that great! I have always had trouble writing and being able to express my feelings on paper. I would think to myself. hmmm what should I write about and I never could think of anything. How frustrating. You know I just now figured it out? It's like you are having a conversation with some one but are writing it down on paper. Wow!! I can't believe I am feeling this way. This is wonderful. I prayed and asked the Lord to help me and it looks like he has answered my prayers. Right now I am able to write down what I am feeling. Thank you Lord! Wow this is great! I'm glad that I got to share this with you just now. This is so spectacular!! wow! I can't believe this my fingers are moving like the wind. This is amazing. I'm sorry I just can't get over it.
Yes I am so happy for my MIL. I told her that there was a lot of home schooling moms praying for her and that she was an inspiration to a lot of people. The word that came out of her mouth was "Wow". What a wonderful testimony. Thank you for the prayers again. I am praying for your family also.
Well, I hope you are having a wonderful day. My day is quiet but at least I'm not depressed that's a good thing
