My Blessing For Today

I am thankful for good friends. Caleb did not have school today, so I was kinda stuck without a sitter. My friend Rebekah graciously offered to keep him today so I would not have to miss work. Thank you, Lord, for my friend.

Prayer Request

Pray for Karen. She woke up this morning with severe low back pain and her right leg was numb. She is in the Vandy ER now.

My blessing for today is that everyone in my house is well. There is so much sickness going around right now. I don't ever remember a year when we have seen so many sick people. Kami (Matt's wife) is in the hospital again with nausea/vomiting. Both of her kids are sick with strep and flu. The lady in the office next to me is hacking and has a fever, Dr. White down the hall has the flu. It's awful. I am trusting Jesus to keep me and Caleb (and Sara and Amy, since they live with us) well through the flu season.

I also want to give a shout out to my future brother-in-law. He is so good to me and Caleb. He picks Caleb up every Wednesday because I work late. Last week he took him to Logan's for dinner and then brought me dessert when he dropped him off. Thanks, Jay.

Oh, What a Night!

Saturday night was the 2nd annual Vanderbilt Winter Dinner Dance. Sara was my date. We had so much fun. There was dinner and dancing and getting to hang out with my work friends. It's weird seeing everyone dressed up since we are usually in scrubs. I got to sing with Soul Incision. I was awesome, and everybody danced while I sang. Karen and Jay were there, too. Karen looked so cute. Julia did her hair and it was adorable. Sara looked cute, too. I have pictures of all of this on MySpace, so go check it out. I think Sara put some on her blog as well. My feet were killing me by the end of the night and I lost my voice, but we had a fantastic time.

Blessing for today - We have a lighter schedule at work today and will not be as rushed as we were on Friday. I will be able to get caught up.

Great Idea, Tammy!

I think Tammy had an excellent idea about blogging about blessings.

Today, Amy sent me a text offering to cook dinner for me tonight, turkey burgers and salad - yum! Thank you Amy, and thank you Jesus for wonderful friends and family. It will be such a blessing to not have to cook when I get home from work tonight.

I am blessed!

Stormy Weather...

I am exhausted today. We (Amy, Sara, and I) were up most of the night because of the storms. We spent some time in the bathroom. Well, Caleb did. He slept for about 45 min in the bathroom floor, bless his heart. The rest of us watched TV in Amy's room and kept each other laughing so we didn't think so much about the storm. The funny thing was that during the tornado warning, it really didn't do much outside, but after the tornado warning expired it stormed really bad for an hour or so. Thank the Lord, we didn't have any damage.

Say a prayer for Matt's wife, Kami. She was admitted to the hospital last night with severe vomiting. For those who don't know, Matt is the doctor I work for and Kami is very pregnant. Hopefully she will get to go home today but she is feeling pretty miserable right now.

Thanks, Sara for showing me how to do the links and stuff. I feel better about my blog now.

Good Day

I have not been feeling well this week. Today I felt much better and I was able to get a lot of housework done. Laundry was reaching critical mass here - I did eight loads!

Melinda Doolittle sang at church tonight. She brought the house down! God has blessed her with such talent. She just blessed me to pieces. She was in the lobby after church and she seemed just as sweet and humble in person as she was on television.

Allen's sermon was great, too. He made one statement that really stuck with me. "Just because you fail does not mean that you are a failure." So simple, yet it really hit home for me. So many times I feel like when I fail I have to give up and start all over. God loves me, faults and all. He knows that I will stumble, fall, and fail. I shouldn't feel like a failure. I am not a failure. I am an overcoming child of God.

I love you all.
