Health

well Thursday evening proved to be interesting, a squad ride, ER and home after 1am. unfortunately i could not work on friday. had to call my doc and get in to see him. my pain may

be cysts in my breast. being sent for a mammo and ultrasound then to a surgeon. it was so bad my breath was being cut off, don't like the feeling of suffocation. my middle son took me and stayed with me. i love that matter-of-fact son.

i finished my can cans for trade. Red Bull, Mtn Dew and V8.

aluminum can postcards can become addicting.

The Red Bull reads "ain't no bull the rooster rules the roost."

and

Mtn Dew is about climbing the ladder, corporate or otherwise, staying busy,

and

enjoying your life bc you are 2 busy, busy, busy.

The fabric around the edges is "The Name Game".

boy it didn't help me emotional that yesterday a friend lost two of her friend's sons in

different accidents this week. one a soldier in Afghanistan.

(oopsey correction: the soldier was in critical condition,

parents were able to talk with him, he's doing better.)

and

i was watching TBN and they had an interview on with Mathew West.

what an amazing story of God's healing love.

after surgery to repair his vocal cords and losing his voice for a while

he went on to write "Motions".

out of the darkest hour can come the most wonderful revelation of all.

GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE NO MATTER WHAT.

in one hour my youngest son meets with a recruiter. he feels he should signup to help him pay for his college. BUT his father and i have been able to pay for every bit of his college so far. He
has one year left until graduation from college.

i'm not really sure why he feels compelled to seek out this way. I am really praying about his decision, but as he reminded me last week, "he is an adult and can make his own decisions." He has a friend who wants to join bc his brother and father served in the military. Praying for a wise decision and one that God wants for his life. I'm not God and don't pretend to be just mom.

Be Your Hands

with his dad's acoustic

I wanna be your hands

I wanna be your feet

Go where You send me

Go where You send me.

Audio Adrenaline lyrics from "Hands and Feet"

this son has the most beautiful, handsome fingers and hands.

off to see my oldest lead us in worship and then to work.

What an Amazing God I serve!!
