....that the Lord hath made. I am glad, and I am re-JOY-cing in it!!! Today is one of those days. I am overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit working in my life. As I move boxes & furniture between rooms, I feel the strain on my muscles. The aches & pains which will soon ensue. I thank God for them. That I am able to do such work. That He has given me strength to get done what I need to do for my family and for HIM. He has graced me with patience & wisdom t oday. He has reminded me of His presence in my heart, my soul, my mind & my body. I am playing the music that I have here on my blog LOUDLY (My playlist is located at the bottom of the blog).

The top was crispy (I used saltines instead of bread and used 1/2 the amount dried parsley since I don't have fresh). YUMMY!!!!!

This was my Sunday, June 22. We got up, did a few things around the house, left at 11:15 to go to my Mum & Dad's house. Got there about 12:40, left about quarter after 3. We ate lunch, and my Dad & Hubba showed off their new vehicles to each other (my Dad got a new to him Escape). Boys!!! LOL... Got to MIL's about 20 mins later, hung out, ate dinner, and I was already e.x.h.a.u.s.t.e.d. because I'd been up the night before because it was storming bad!! I wanted to leave by around 6. After dinner I looked up & it was already 6:30. I told Hubba it was 6:30, and he said "We'll eat dessert & get out of here." About 10 mins later, I hear Kee scream & start crying & I RAN from the kitchen to the room he was in, Tris was in the doorway & I was screaming at him "MOVE!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!" As I came into the room, there was blood going down Keenan's nose & I screamed "OH ****." So I swept him up & ran in...
