Our family has been so busy these past three days!... Christ has been a prevailing force in our lives, protecting us from any negative influences. He has been a guiding light, and our great protector. Not only has He been there for us, but He has also sent a few new friends our way... I guess to void out any of the negativity that came our way.
Mark and I have a few exciting things coming up...You'll have to check back to see what's in store. Recently we've done so much that I can't even remember all of it. Let's see, on Thursday I went to another Red Cross meeting with my mother. I guess this was our first "official" meeting. It was exciting, and I've decided what I want to do with the Red Cross... Disaster Relief, and AFES. AFES is basically answering phone calls from the comforts of my own home. And, as far as being involved in Disaster Relief, I'm not 100% sure what all I will be doing. Also, on Thursday Victoria gave Mum-Mum the heart we made for her. After stuffing it we added a suction cup to it so that my mom could hang it on her window. Although the suction cup fell off somewhere between the truck and my parent's front door, my mother loved it.
Friday... Friday was interesting! We had our first small flood. My husband used the toilet, flushed, and left the bathroom. Apparently the toilet kept running after Mark flushed. This caused the water to over flow the bowl, and we had about 1/4 inch of water fill our bathroom and laundry area. Mark, thank goodness, noticed the water before it had time to creep up the hallway. We called a Plummer that had been here before. He said that most likely one of the children had dropped a toy into the toilet... Long story short, Mark ended up removing the toilet and found something that was stuck in it. It wasn't a toy... It was something that no one would believe would be able to clog a toilet! And, I'm a little unsure as to how it was able to prevent the toilet from flushing properly. But, Mark removed it, and it works perfectly once again. And, of course Friday is grocery day... But, we did so much more than just grocery shopping! Mark took half the day off from work so that we could take care of a few things that had to be dealt with immediately. We got a lot of things done, but not everything. Come Monday we will have it all completed, and our "ducks in a row."
So, we've been pretty busy... And, although a lot of it has been "fun", and rewarding, I'm still looking forward to some REAL fun! I have talked with my brother about going to play paint ball, and I've talked with my mom about going on a small boat trip on a locally famous sail boat. Also, Mark and I have a few things that we would like to do together. But, we've been so busy with other things, that we haven't focused on making definite plans for the "real" fun yet. But, believe me, we'll get there, and do those things soon. As for now we have something amazing planned for tomorrow, and I may possibly be doing something tonight that's a pretty big deal for me... So until then, live for Christ. It's through him that my happiness is possible regardless of any obstacles that may come my way. Learn to laugh at yourself, and what you can't control. And, be comforted in the fact that Christ does it all for a purpose. Sit back, relax,or go out to have fun.. No matter what your speed may be, have fun while living an extraordinary life!
God Bless!
