The Sick Blues

Hello out there. I never thought I would say this, but I sure do miss the world. Noah and I have been cooped up inside for the last couple of days. And I am just itching to get out of the house. I thought today would be the day, but it's RAINING. I don't particularly like to take him out in the rain, so we stayed inside again today.

Two good things we have gotten to do though:

1. We watched Madagascar. (What a cute movie for all you who haven't seen it.)
2. We got to eat paper. Yes, Noah has discovered the fine taste of paper. Yuck!

Seriously, I know we are boring, but well, there is not much going on here. I am anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving though. It will be great to see some fam and friends. *Billie, Say, Krystal or anyone else who might be in the Dothan area give me a shout. I would love to hang.

Oh, guess what???? Here is some worthy news. I am getting baptized. I am not sure if it will be this Sunday or the 1st of December, but I am finally taking the plunge.

Miss you guys like crazy.

Yesterday was a hard day. I found out that my loving husband and I won't be spending any upcoming holidays together. He is scheduled to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I must admit my attitude about the whole issue was not good. In fact, I was in a bad mood all day until I got on my knees and in the Word. It is there that I found some much needed insight and direction. God sent me to Psalm 119. I began reading and before I knew it, my eyes fell upon verses 76 & 77:

"May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight."

These words stayed with me the rest of the day. And by the time Sean got home from work, my whole outlook had changed. The Lord showed me that I need only Him-even on holidays. That He will be with me. And that is all that I need. Praise be to God!
