I just wonder why my life is always so exciting?? I surely could do with less excitement.
I have been out of my good medication that helps me the most; when I take it at night if I have a bad flair-up, the next a.m. I feel so much better. Well, I had run out and couldn't get any until today. And what I got today is a new medication to replace the other one, because our insurance did "prefer" the arthrotec. I am hoping and praying the celebrex works like the arthrotec did. So I am in a lot of pain, wore out, but just had to put a quick note on here.
We took Preston out to eat today since his check came in. We ate at IHOP and it was great. Well, then we all came home, and the guys stayed here and I went to Traveler's Rest to get my meds and a few grocery items. Well, I went to Dollar General and unloaded my stuff into the van, as well as my purse which had my keys in it, and when I shut the door, low and behold, all the doors were locked. Yep! It was awful. Well, Jr. is at home with Preston, and doesn't have any vehicle. What to do? Maybe he was tempted to leave me there, but I guess he decided he still needed me. LOL He went up the neighbor's and ask him to take him to me and bring me keys. So the neighbor did so, thankfully, and I told him I would pay him and he said ok, so I went to get the money. I only had a couple of ones and $20's, so ended up giving him $20 to drive 20 miles total, but with the price of gas, and then his time, it was ok. Junior said a locksmith would have cost more.
This evening I watched a movie, I think it is called "Facing the Giants." Now I know why Missie came out of her room in tears when she finished watching it. It was an awesome movie. It encouraged me to know that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! Not even a move 500 miles away to get our daughter into a good strong youth group and Christian school. So since then, the chorus, "Nothing is Impossible with God" has been going over and over in my mind.
Then Missie called from youth camp and said they had an awesome service tonight. She said she had never seen someone under conviction in a service as she did tonight. But the girl was afraid to go the alter, so the people gathered around her and Missie said she lifted her hands and face to Heaven and prayed her heart out. Missie had been crying too. Missie said she had been trying to get the girl to go the altar. Now I was a little concerned because this youth camp is not entirely our doctrine, and I didn't want her to get confused. She went with her best friend as they may be the last time they get to do much together. But I think she will be just fine; she is an exceptional girl for her age, I feel, when it comes to spiritual things. This is why it is so important for us to make this move. Junior and I seem alone in this knowledge, that we need to do this for Missie. Families do not understand, nor do friends, at least most of them; but God does, and where He guides, He will provide.
I have got to lay down, but just had to share my heart.

Norma Gwen,
I wanted you to know that I completely understand what you are saying! I have been reading and excited for you all and praying that things work as God has planned. I just haven't had the energy myself to post, and I'm sorry I haven't written. My daddy's estate sale is coming up and that is weighing so heavy on my mind. I don't want to go and have the finality of it all, but I know that I have too and that God will keep me strong. I keep reminding myself that with God at our sides we are such strong and powerful women.
Hope the pain eases up and the new medication works.
Tina
