…to the airport at least.  I'm nervous about flying to Atlanta.  I get motion sick really easy and it's windy today.  The last time I flew I think I cleaned the plane out of barf bags.  It's the worst feeling….being trapped and having to get sick in front of strangers.  Oh, please pray for me. 

I have a long layover in Atlanta and don't leave there until 7pm EST.  I leave Greenville SC (where I am now) at 2:45.  I think it's maybe a 30 minute flight.  So I'll peruse the Atlanta Airport for a while before heading out to Palm Springs.  Talk to you from Atlanta.

PS….Those of you who know about the Robert's Quads please pray for Casey.  He had blood in his diaper this AM.  The Roberts's Website

I guess I should make that a little hurray!  I took middle son back to the doctor today.  They tested for the flu and thought maybe pneumonia but alas, it's strep.  I don't think I've ever been so happy to have a kid with strep. 

Two things:
1.  It's completely curable with a round of mild antibiotics.  (I'll pump him up with probiotics when I return.)
2.  AND…….Since it's not the flu or some unknown virus I get to go to CA to see my hubbie!

Can you say “HAPPY DANCE!!!'

Now, may I ask for prayer for a safe flight and a delicious time with my hubbie.  Thank you to all of you who prayed for us.  Your prayers worked.

IN HIM and EXCITED.

We had another rough night.  Middle son's fever is very high again this morning although I haven't taken it since he's still asleep.  I had all 4 in the bedroom with me last night.  Baby girl was up at 5am.  What's up with that? 

I got oldest son off to school and hope to have a nap.  I'm making a few preparations for leaving but I'm torn with middle son.  I guess I'll call the DR as soon as I can and ask them. 

Keep praying.
Julie

Well I continue to hold onto HOPE that I will be able to join my hubbie in CA on Saturday.  The kiddos continue to battle illness and the miraculous healing I'm hoping for needs to come soon.  Maybe God just knew I really needed a week of sickness to be MORE THAN READY to join my DH for a few days by ourselves.  When was the last time we had that?  Certainly not since baby girl has been born.  She went with us to CA last year. 

For you praying folks out there…..PRAY!!!

IN HIM,
Julie

Well, I just thought we were out of the woods.  Oh, IIII know!  It's because DH left!  That's why we are all sick again.  It never fails!!

Baby girl threw up all over me this morning.  Middle son ran 103 degree fever all day and looked like death warmed over.  And youngest son has coughed like he smokes 2 packs of Camels a day.  Will Saturday ever get here?  Will I get to meet DH in CA? 

Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode of As the Worthy Turns!!!

   

Do you know I have searched my town and the one next to us for a Globe……no one sells globes anymore.  The teacher's store didn't have them.  Neither did Stuffmart, Dollar Tree, Dollar General or Staples.  Doesn't anyone use a globe anymore?????
Good Grief!!!!

A STORY IN PICTURES OF OUR DAY…
(and a few words)

After scaling great heights…

He takes the time to teach little sis how to play Tball

Then they explore underneath the neighbor's car to find the dog…

and chase the cat inside to the plant shelf….

after playing in the leaves on a gorgeous SC day…

Blessed, blessed and beyond blessed.

Recently my 7 year old has gotten up at night and says he is scared.  When we inquire as to what he’s scared of he says he’s scared men will come in the house and get him.  After the usual soothing, then dishing out consequences for waking us up several times a night, then allowing him to sleep in the floor of our room my husband got up last night and read Scripture to him.  He seemed to be able to go back to sleep without too much trouble after that.

So today God gave me the idea to put scripture around his bed.  So as my husband looked up scripture on the computer I dug into the concordance.  And we came up with several that seemed to work.  I had my 7 Year old draw pictures on cardstock and I wrote the scripture below.  Then we taped them on his bed.  Here’s the finished result.  I hope this might give some of you who may struggle with the same thing a neat idea.  IN HIM…..Julie

Stars and “night time” picture to go with the Scripture

God watching over Joshua as he sleeps.

A face that's scared with a cross mark over it and pictures of birds for the scripture “Do not be afraid” and “He cares for us more than the birds” from Exodus and Luke.

Our really big angel with really big swords and big ole boots to stomp Satan.  Those yellow things on the side are wings.  And that little fuzzy looking thing on the bottom of the page with a really little sword is Satan.  I think this one was Luke 2:10 for those of you who wanted to know.
