The irony of remembering to blog since it is Wednesday, is that I have absolutely nothing to blog about!!!!
Our container has arrived, it has cleared customs (thank you God), but is now stuck in Cadiz because the dock workers or some workers are on strike!!!! But I figure we have waited over three months what’s another few days? Although, I have to say that I am looking forward to mashing potatoes etc with a masher and not having to use a cheap fork, that bends each time i try to mash. Having something else to wear too, will be a really good thing. I have never worn the same outfits so many times. It’s going to be like Christmas.
Gabriella came home yesterday with a swollen neck and a rash all over her body. By this morning her fever was gone but she had spots allover her face. And now they have moved to her arms. It’s the craziest thing,as she feels just fine. It has motivated me to take Ben and get him caught up with his shots. We are 4months behind and one of them is MMR. So I am going to go back to the Drs tomorrow and see what they say. I went today to try and ask if the vaccinations were free. I thought my Spanish was really good, but the receptionist told me to come back tomorrow and speak with the other lady that speak English.( so much for all that practicing in my head!)
Emma wrote a note to the school principal today,asking of she could set up a booth in the playground,and sell stuff during recreo (playtime)….she will one day be on Fortune 500 front cover.
The other night she told Dave and I that she had “prayed for7 minutes”, asking God to make her favourite stuffed dog, come to life. She asked us what we thought. So as good parents we said that “Hubble” was a stuffed toy and that it wasn’t going to happen. With tears in her eyes she told us, ” but anything is possible with God”…….what could we say? I told her that God can do anything HE wants to , but he might also know that I couldn’t handle a real dog in this tiny place…..Such faith, man I need some of that.
I really want to begin seeing God move and do something. I need to be a part of something that is supernatural. People set free, kids healed. I want to stop talking about it,and stop hearing about it, I want to see it and do it.
I want to hear the Holy Spirit more and know when to speak up and when to stay silent. When to be bold and when to stay back.
Patience has never been my strong point, but I am torn between ‘everything in it’s time’ and feeling like I am letting God down by not doing more. Its hard to explain in writing, but i just don;t want to be living this great life, but have no eternal affect…….
Maybe next week I will have something to blog about!!! or at least upload photos of all my favourite things that should be arriving, and the memories to go with them. ( lots of junkin’day memories)…
