What I’ve been up to
I’m still here. I’m still writing. I’ve just been super busy. First of all I have been loving the new TobyMac cd, Eye On It. Blog entries to soon follow. My husband bought the family tickets to the TobyMac concert for my birthday. The concert is next week and I am SUPER EXCITED!! I just know it will be awesome and my kids are going to love it!
Next, I have had the privilege of spending some time with my Grandma. She had a stroke the first week in August. Grandma stayed with me for two weeks and then went home for a few days. Now she is staying another week with me. She has been making strides in her recovery. Her and I hadn’t spoken in over a year because of issues with my parents. I know she may not always agree with the choices I’ve made but she respects me and understands. We have had the chance to get to know each other better and reconcile. I know she loves me, accepts me, and has a better understanding of who I am as do I her. It has meant the world to me. I am so grateful for this. We’ve had a great time watching The Voice, reading books together, singing hymns, talking about life, and talking about our Heavenly Father. The kids have been enjoying her visits as well. They’ve introduced her to Harry Potter. They are now on the third movie. We’ve also introduced her to TobyMac and chocolate gravy. And grandma has watched a football game or two with Brent. Grandma will be celebrating her 80th birthday this Saturday. I am told that she would love to enjoy a steak dinner. (I should also mention that she is one tough cookie, because earlier this year she had heart valve replacement surgery as well.)
Well that is my update for now. More blogging to come soonish.
Peace, love, and Jesus,
