Weekend Warrior

Ok it was a busy weekend but so so much fun. Saturday was a cousins b-day party so my hubby took the kids to that one and I went to a treat. I went to see Michael English in Concert. One of my Girlfriend, (aka the Cher) took me to the concert and to a girls night out for my B-day. No it was not this weekend but it was a great gift. We went to dinner, then the concert, and then for desert afterwards. I did not fall into bed until 1:00AM. Considering that I am usually in bed by 9 or 10 everynight, that was late for me. But totally worth it. Michael English was really amazing. I have never seen someone sing and perform as he did. I am telling you, that guy has got some SOUL to him. Then, I slept in that morning and did not get up at 6 as I had planned to cook my little ones bday cakes and so we missed Church. I felt like I was skipping on life all day. I guess that is a good thing. However as I worked, I was able to go to tv church... Sunday program at a church telecast. It was really good.
I don't have pics just yet from the party but I can tell you that everyone we invited except one came. We had an awesome turn out. The weather was cool and have a great breeze, the older kids just played and played, and it all just went so smoothly after everyone got there. I don't know how long it lasted but it was so peaceful and fun. By the time the bday boy got thru with his cake it was green everywhere to include in his nose and hair.
Needless to say the late night and busy day did not catch me until later that night when we were relaxing for the evening. What we will actually do for my Bday when it gets here, who knows... BUT this weekend was a totally blast and an amazinf treat and joy!!!
As soon as I get some photos digitally, I will try and post them... Til' next time, God Bless and guide you....
(As a side note, our Church is doing the Purpose Driven Life and I will tell you that if you have not read this yet, you are miss out. It is amazing how it is change my life views and life in general for the better. It is a definite read I think for those that strive to know our Lord.)

Walking Miracle

1979 Septemeber 30:
A baby girl was born with gastroschisis weighing in at 3lbs and 5 ozs. Born about 2 months before the due date of full completion, the 1st of their children t be born. Gastroschisis being when the outer skin and stomach muscles are not developed therefore the organs are outside the body. When this baby was born they had no idea that it had this. With just a kiss and a few tears the baby was wheeled away to surgery. While the parents awaited, doctor placed these very small and elicate organs in a sealed package and laided apon the baby's chest. As the days went by the closed contact the parents had with the little one was via protective gloves and plastic incabators. Once the swelling has gone down the organs were placed into the babies tiny torso. Organ by organ they planted each one. The end resolute of a babys body sealed using the stomach muscles, skin, and surgical wire. After months in the hosptial, the little one was allowed to go home. The Doctors did not have much hope but the parents knew that she would survive. She is now 26 going on 27 and has had two children without much stress and one of the healthiest childhoods. That is ME...
