that went by really fast

I can't believe it's already Wednesday.

Well what an awesome weekend. Sat. morning was the kick off to our Missions conference, we had a passport workshop, and effectively raising money for mission trips.

In the mean time my husband called his son, and got a hold of him, and my husband said he was going to pick him up. So my husband went to his brother in law's house and waited until 12:30 and went and got him. Reluctantly he went, after he threw his cell phone and broke it, because he was mad he couldn't get another fix before he left. So they are off to the desert about 1pm.

Then I had to go to a viewing for my uncle Bob.

Then back to church for dinner with the missionaries and the youth missionaries. I was balling my eyes out listening to these teenagers that are so bold as to their cause for Christ. It was so moving and convicting to see some of these teens are bolder than adults! I think if I had to pick an army for a war, it would consist of teenagers. They are so bold!

My husband returned home at 10:30pm, said it was pretty rough where they left him.

Sunday morning was here! Mission conference continued. So exciting our church prayed for our friends leaving for Guatemala in a few weeks. Then a wonderful testimony from a woman who served in the mission field in Afghanistan! Very powerful message, lunch with the missionaries. My friend introduced me to the family that runs the Hands of Mercy from Mexico, where I plan for me and my son to go for our first trip!

Then off to the memorial service for uncle Bob, that was kinda nice too, I haven't seen a lot of these people for about 2 or 3 years. They were all bikers, which I was before Tyler my youngest came along.

Ran back to our church for the finale of the conference! Tyler had AWANA and learned both of his scriptures.

Monday came and I went down to my mothers to work for a few hours on her house organizing some things for her. Home to feed the kids and get ready for my first night of LifeGroup. I was so excited, I could hardly stand it. My oldest started getting ill, but I thought she would be alright while I was gone.
I came home and she was crying, I felt really bad she was going downhill fast. So I quickly gave her some fever reducer and cough medicine. Off to bed we all went.

Tuesday, I went to wake Amber she was crying saying she couldn't walk, so I told her to go to bed. She came in the frontroom to sleep with me. I had to go have coffee with my mentor so I got ready and Amber rested. Came home fed the kids, I had to go to the chiropractor, while I was driving I noticed that my car has really been acting up. I think it's the transmission failing. (my guess)
I call my husband he doesn't sound to happy. Tells me to get to his work ASAP
so I do. We drove down to the local FORD dealer, and found out it is still under warranty! He starts to settle down now...
Made an appointment for Thursday to look at the transmission, and fix the brakes.
All FORD parts for 169 an axle!

So I didn't go to my Tuesday night study on John, because Amber is still not well. I don't want her to get all upset again.

My husband got a call that his son, somehow got on a bus and left the rehab, and would be back in town at 10pm tonight. I told my husband, I hope he doesn't intend on going and picking him up. He said he wouldn't.

But I did make it to my woman's bible study this morning! Kay Arthur is deep, and her message is go deeper still. Amber stayed home from school again.
