life happens while you're making plans....

Seriously...the Lord has taught me soooooo much this week and I am tired and learned! I had so many "plans" to keep the girls and me busy this week while Tim was gone to Nashville, but the Lord had another thing in mind...SICKNESS! Starting on Monday am I noticed a tickle/soreness in my throat and by Monday night it was like my throat was raw and open for the world to mock and injure. Tuesday and Wednesday I sat in a chair and did my best to care for my children as I could....I am so thankful that they LOVE videos and that they play sooooo well together. I observed lots of school and house! :) I really learned a lot about my girls and their interests this week. Also, they were soooooooo helpful (answering the phone, playing quietly, choosing to be kind to one another, and fixing meals (just kidding!)). Tim also had this CRAP while he was in Nashville. but we are all feeling MUCH better and well on our way to recovering from this VIRAL CRAP!

However, thank you Lord for teaching that there are times when REST and QUIET are much needed and sometime you just have to care for yourself and let LOVE do the rest!

Also, thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Stout for checking up on us frequently and taking the girls Tuesday pm so I could just rest! LOVE YOU!

Have a great weekend! Tim flys in at about 7:30 pm! Can't wait!
We ALL miss him VERY much!
