Ahhhh... another Friday post. Where do my weeks go and why do they seem to get away from me? I don't even know... I can't even explain it! I realized I always say I'm having a crazy week- well - they are all crazy, so i guess that is my norm... right? So, I think I need to stop saying I'm having a crazy week unless I have a normal quiet week. THAT would be craziness - normal and quiet.... because crazy is now normal. hmmmmm...
Tommy had cluster migraines all week last week. That is always a bit disconcerting. I hate it that he gets migraines on top of everything else going on with him. It had been so long since he has had any that at first I was like, Oh, well, stomach ache... hmmm.. then I picked him up and saw that he was squinting, leaning forward, closing his eyes... Bam! Definitely a migraine. No change in said condition for four days... Poor guy... Oh, yeah, and his vision has changed. so, we now have glasses. At least they are Harley-Davidson glasses... oh. yeah!
So... the girls are fine... Danielle is a bit disappointed that she didn't make county choir, but I'm proud of her for trying! She has awesome news, though... she earned the part of Clara in our studio's production of The Nutcracker, Twisted! She is so excited, has wanted this part for years, and is working super hard to memorize her blocking and lines. Very, very happy, happy for her! Katie is a bell, which is an awesome dancing/tumbling routine. It's high energy, just like her. Both girls are excited. Tommy and I got our same parts- party boy (for him, of course) and party couple for me... well, one half of a party couple. And Arabian... for me... yep, I get to belly dance!
Lots of prayers needed lately for situations that surround me... seriously, we have landslide victims here in Virginia, they are losing their homes, marriages, always, health of children and parents, jobs,and job security, some knee surgeries (friends), some people are experiencing personal crisis'... I mean, my goodness... so much seems to be going on!
As always, too, I pray for my friends and family that struggle with their faith. I'm someone who doesn't struggle with faith, or with things (the bad things) that happen to me or my family, I mean, sure I have a moment of frustration (why now!?), or perplexity (um... What are you THINKING?), but it doesn't make me angry with God, or at Him... I believe there is purpose in everything that happens to us, because, maybe, in the event of a tragedy, I know that I will NOT have any answers as to why this happened to me... But I have faith that through my experience it may draw someone closer to HIM who loves us all, unconditionally... Life is hard, and sometimes even harder... I can't fathom moving away from Him... especially when that is when I would need to experience His comfort the most. I can see, though, how someone else could find that infuriating, and identify tragedy with punishment, or anger. I guess I'm lucky I don't see it that way... I hope I never do see it that way. So, that is why I pray for my close ones to have peace and to develop a relationship with Jesus. It helps... for real... I promise...
