Singing lips...

Everyday I wake up I think..todays a new day..
Jesus,today i thank you for fresh starts,for crisp mornings,for the energy I felt to crawl out of bed this morning.For my sister in law who drove in this morning and is staying with me for the weekend,for the tiny bit of peace and quite I am having right now as she took my kids out for a bit.Lord You just know...exactly what I need,exactly when I need it.That gives me every reason to trust you...You are all-knowing.Thank you.

I cannot even say how busy I have been...I feel like im in constant go mode!We had church camping 2 weeks ago(was that already 2 weeks??!!)What a good time we had,being with our church people,and just being in the outdoors.We all had such a great time.We came home from that and 2 days later Hayden had 2 dr appointments in Greenville.Her first appointment was with her new eye doctor she has to see because of the med shes on and the side effect it can have.We were soo happy to hear that not only are her eyes fine,but we don't have to go back again until February!(we were expecting to have to go monthly or even weekly.)After that we went to we infectious disease doctor. She was hapy to hear that Hayden is doing really well on her new med.Hayden seems to like dr Lacroix a little more everytime we go in and this time she was more then willing to let her feel around her neck area. Dr Lacoix said she thinks the nodes are melting but she still feels infected nodes in there, one is right behind her first surgery scar and then behind her 2nd scar she felt a clump of them(she said it feels like shes rolling her fingers over some grapes)the clump is the one we will watch. She didn't want to see her again until November(ptl for us!) but wants us to keep a close eye on it and if we see any change to bring her in right away. The part of not having to come back for a while was good news...the part about her still feeling them..not so much.That just means ,they are still there and from my understanding also means that were still looking at another at least 10 months on treatment. Oh how I HATE to think about that,and what all this treatment is doing to her tiny little body...We have an appointment with the surgeon again in a week and a half..and im curious to see what he thinks about the ones that are still there.
I didn't have much time to think about all the dr stuff  until writting this out since directly after that appointment we headed to florida. And just writing about it makes me tear up. Lord how I love to see you working but I cant help but think im so ready for this to be over.
We had such a good time with my parents,who just moved to the sunny state:) There is soo much to do at my parents house down there and the kids had sooo much fun.We spent most of our waking hours outside riding bikes around the little town they live in,theres little to no traffic going through there so we rode the streets freely(if you've ever been to pinecraft you know what a special place it is) They played in mimis sandbox and little pool,we went to the beach twice,spent time with my grandma and just had a blast really.Saturday a good friend of ours (more like my little brother ) got married down there and I was co-ordinating the wedding, and my kids were both In it as mini bride and groom.So leading up to Saturday I was busy.Sat night I was exhausted and sunday I just relaxed.we decided to leave one day early since our church is having a womens conference this weekend and I have part and had practice Tuesday night .So we headed home Monday lunch time.Tuesday I spent the day cleaning up my house,unpacking,doing some laundrey etc. Tuesday night I had practice and didn't get home till late.Wednesday I had coffee with an old friend from pa..and what a good time it was.We laughed,we cried and we prayed together,She left my house and I felt so uplifted and encouraged. The things she prayed over me I felt God was answering already that afternoon. Jesus knows when we cant pray ourselves for the things we need..he sends our friends to pray it for us.What a mighty God we serve!!!! I did my grocery shopping yesterday afternoon and last night had practice again,that leads us to today...Did I mention ive been really busy?!:)
Matt went to the dr this morning and got his sling off FINALLY!!!"Oh happy day!"(happy day is Haydens favorite song an she walks around singing it all the time..go listen to it,and be happy:))
Tonight the womens conference starts..i am really excited about this..i have been feeling that God is going to do some incredible things in my life and the lives of these women this weekend and I am just so excited to see it unfold and to feel his presence and glory flowing throughout all of polk county.It wont be contained!
If you are one of our faithful prayer warriors,i just want to say thank you,and please don't stop... Matt not being at work has been challenging, We are learning so much about each other right now..being together literally 24/7..you kinda do . We still have so much to learn . Its hard not to forget each other..to remember that that face your seeing all the time is the face you love and can fall into...Its been especially hard for me ...with him being here all the time and not being able to do allot...I tend to carry everything on my own,and that's wearing,and tiring,and not how its saposed to be. Gods working on me there:)
I must go, the days not going to wait on me.:)
Please pray for me ,my family and all the women of FCC this weekend as we do this conference... Matt will be taking care of the kids,making suppers etc...he will need extra patience:) for my kids,that they don't give there daddy a hard time:) and for me,that I can enter in to His presence with joy,that Gods love and peace would radiate through me,both at conference and when I enter my home and that God would speak this weekend. That He would do amazing things.That his presence would be almost tangible....
Im singing on the worship team this weekend..for anyone that knows me knows how I love to sing... I just opened my bible to psalm 63 and read :"With singing lips,my mouth will praise you" beside it I wrote "singing lips best express a satisfied soul"
"Because your love is better then life,my lips will glorify You"Psalm 63:3
Now,go sing!:)
