Going to see WALL-E tomorrow. I am very excited as is Elijah. I will fill you in on its greatness afterwards!
Elijah has been scaring us the last couple days because he has been sooo tired and cranky and not wanting to eat. It started a week ago, when I picked him up from school because his ear was hurting and he was vomiting. A few hours later, he felt better and I just passed it off as being maybe sunstroke. He has been playing okay, but he just gets wiped out so quick.
Last night I looked at his mouth and the right tonsil was pretty swollen and red. So I decided to call him into the doctor today. Fortunately, the doctor found a severe ear infection, which can be cleared by antibiotics. He also feels like his is combating possible strep throat. He did say to watch him over the weekend and if his energy level does not return, we have to take him in for blood work.
So please say some prayers that this is NOT mono and just a simple bacterial infection. THANK YOU! :)
Since it has been raining here a lot the last few weeks and raining physically and financially in our lives and those around us, I found this song I heard very suited to my soul at this moment. I pray God that if these trials that we endure bring us closer to you, then Lord please bring on the rain... Amen
Bring The Rain lyrics (MercyMe)
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain
I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Ask me if you are interested, see my previous post!
All this debating over drilling oil (which is very controversial down here) is driving me bonkers. I am all for being dependent on ourselves and not relying on countries that could turn their backs on us in a heartbeat and charge us even more ridiculous prices for oil than we are being charged now. We need to get some kind of energy plan in place and people need to start being more aware of how the whole process works. Just some thoughts.... What do you think.....
