The Wrong Turn

Kathleen's dog, Sammy, ended up having surgery, and now has to sit still for two weeks!  And then limited movement for 6 more weeks.  We have her in the front porch, which we have turned into a cozy little room for her.  She cries, and cries and wants to go out and run with Beamer and bark at the neighbor dogs and any newcomers.  She kept crying the first night (night before last) and everytime I heard her, I would get up and take her outside for her constitutional.  But, she just wants out.  After the third time, I was sleepy and twisted to get out of bed and I got a jolt as a stabbing pain rose up in my side.  Again!! --my pirformis muscle has pinched my sciatic nerve. 

I've been in therapy for it, but have to get it approved to continue with the therapy.  Today, saturday, I woke and I couldn't even hardly pick up the babies, so I tried to find a physical therapist.  There is no physical therapist available at any of the clinics, hospitals, or offices anywhere--unless you have already made an appointment during their office hours.  So, this is going to be a long weekend....  me and Sammy are both unhappy campers.

I see that some of our candidates say that God wanted them to run for President.  What I want to know, is what lead them to believe that God wants them to be president?   We are all capable of believing that God is behind us on a mission, but did God really "say" it.  Or, is it their belief, or a prayer in their heart, that God will answer their prayer.  Prayers aren't alway answered the way we think they are.  

Whatever comes, when the end of times are here, God has a plan and we just have to wait for Him to unfold it in His way, on His terms, and on His timeline.   God be with us all.

Making It On My Own

I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi4xG9FcXBU

Whatever our dreams, how can they come to fruitation without  the Lord's guiding hand? Our accomplisments, what are they if You Lord are not in them?  He is our way, our path, the Hand that holds us.  Without Him there is no love, no life.

Sleepless Night

Sharing song THE LOVE OF GOD by David Phelps, Guy Penrod, Joy Gardner:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbE_xlmF38I     What a beautiful song.

The thermostat was turned too high and after a couple of hours sleep I awoke in a sweat, now three hours later, I am still trying to get back to sleep!  The babies will be waking up in less than 4 hours, so I must get some more sleep!

Rain and then snow today!  Beautiful slushy spring snow!  Thank the Lord for it, as our trees were starting to turn brown from the dryness and the wind.

The babies are standing and then trying to balance themselves without holding on to anything.  It won't be long and they will be toddling after us.  It is just so amazing that God has given each child that drive to want to walk! 

Here are some pictures of my youngest grandbabies:

                      

The first picture shows the babies STANDING and playing at their playcenter.  The next picture shows Miranda browsing through the bibs hanging from the freezer door handle.  She then found the perfect one and proceeded to play with it, stretching it out every which way and then she turned over and started to scrubb the floor with it.   Bottom picture is of the babies after they helped me with the folding of the laundry.  They browsed through the newly dried clothes and then picked out their favorite and started to scrub the floor with it, before going into a slide on top of the PJs and onesies!   The last picture is Andrea -- queen of the Johnny Jump Up.  She will wind herself up tight and let go, spinning at a pretty good clip!

God is amazing and his creation is amazing!!

Springtime in Montana!

It doesn't take much to make a day long -- babies with Roseola, babies teething, babies with diarrhea and diaper rash, plugged toilet, and long car trips-- and March has had them all!! 

Spring is here!!  50 and 60 degree temps forecasted all week.  Following the republican candidates, while watching the babies, has kept me pretty busy.  I will be glad to get away from it for a few days, as I let myself get so involved and then my patience is thin to have to WAIT for the results.  I've kept busy commenting on some of the on-line news articles.  It is hard to believe some of the comments that come through.  That commenters can say slanderous accusations and totally get away with it.   I don't have to get involved in an on-line fight, but I can look up the facts and give it to the people that read the comments.

The Lord has been good to us, watching over all our travels and keeping us safe and busy.  I am looking forward to this year and I hope that the Lord does watch my step, so that I do, indeed, walk with Him.
