Prayers being answered.... :0)

Well, Katie is off to Montana! She's on a trip with Nana and Grandpa. They're going to Glacier National Park and she's very excited about it-- :0) She's learned the art of texting and she's texting Tony from time to time. what a sweet girl she is.... a true blessing from the Lord.

Over the 4th of July we spent the night with Terry and Mindy at Mindy's parents' place out in Toon, TN. We had a great time doing a whole lot of nothing much. :0) We rode 4-wheelers and the mule (golf cart thingy-- not the stinky, poopy kind-- LOL), watched a fireworks show put on by the "wonder twins", and we ate a lot of yummy food. During one of our excursions we walked out onto a long narrow dock--- very cool place with lots of lilly pads, etc. to see. Hayes decided it was too muddy to reach with his flip flops on, so he stayed back at the end of the dock. I had been out there and seen about as much as I felt comfortable to with leaving him back in the woods by himself and decided to go back. On the way back I stepped down a step and kept going--- right through the dock. Prayers have been answered.... It was not broken and I'm very slowly, but surely healing. :0) Praise the Lord-- :0)

My chairs went to the furniture hospital yesterday. Woo hoo! As minimal and insignificant this may seem it was something that was important to me. Our chairs were in overall good shape, but with about 12 years worth of wear on them the stuffing was coming out of the arms. Tony was very sweet to share a little bit of bonus money with me. The total to re-upholster the chairs AND get two pillows made for the couch came to the a little less than the amount he gave me. Is that sweet or what??!! God really does care about those little things that mean a lot to us.... :0)

Hayes is doing great. Prayers were answered with him through our ENT appointments for him. He was having terrible nose bleeds-- one right after the other. We finally gave in and took him to the ENT when he experienced 7 really bad ones in one weekend. We treated him aggressively with antibiotics, steroids, and ointment. After going to the doctor and getting started on his meds. he didn't have another nose bleed. What an answer that was! We're still keeping an eye on him and he's using the ointment because of some recent small bleeds, but they're nothing compared to what he was suffering before.... :0)

Last but not least.... it looks like I will get to teach this fall! Yay!!!!! I'm so excited. We're praying for all the details to be worked out, but we're trusting-- knowing that God is in control. I may be driving to 2 different campuses to teach, but if that's what God wants me to do, then I'll be there! :0)

God is so good.... :0) Prayers are being answered.... I'm thankful to be a child of the King.
