My Strangely Great Week, so far!

This has been such a strange week and it is only Tuesday. It hasn't been all bad...not at all...just strange. Actually, some of the strangness has been good-strange. I think God has provided some little "make-up blessings" since I was so sad about having to miss church on Sunday, and still don't feel well. Okay, so that sounds goofy...but hey, you never know?? First of all, I have actually felt like a married woman this week. Not that I am not always aware of this fact, but one might wonder if you were at my house for long. Jason and I see very little of one another during a typical work week. This week, though it is only Tuesday, I have seen more of him than I have the rest of the month. It has been quite a nice change...the boys have been so excited, too! Last night, he was home for dinner and had over 2 hours before he had to leave for his 9:30 softball game. And...thanks to a member of the PCF "J-Crew"..who will remain nameless...the game was cut short and he was back home at 10:30! (Come on boys, we really don't need to be getting ejected from our church league softball games...no matter how out- of- line the umpire is!!!:) but thanks for sending my "J" home early)
Another strange, but nice, thing was a longer than normal conversation with my friend, Juni, from Belize, yesterday. He is so funny and gives me such an interesting perspective on life. I love our friendship and how similar our lives are...while being totally different, all at the same time! It is nice to feel so connected to Belize, the home of my heart, even when I am so far away!!
Jake has been refreshingly cooperative, too! He got home from school yesterday and was SO helpful. He has had a bit of an attitude problem since beginning 3rd grade. He has been a little too big for his britches...Not yesterday though...Nope...he was my sweet Jake again! He came home, fixed him and Jaxsen a snack, and played whatever Jaxsen wanted to play. As if that wasn't plesant enough, when I asked him to do his homework, he got right to work...THE FIRST TIME I ASKED! I am really praying that that is the kid who I pick up after school today.
I have had several other things happen...I have gotten "random"emails from old friends, phone calls from precious people, who love me and just wanted to check on me, and have had some really cool and entertaining dreams! (okay, so that last one may be the pain meds, but they have been really cool and vivid dreams)
So, while I am still feeling really crummy, God has surprised me with many unexpected blessings! Oh, and there is atleast one more blessing still to come...Karen Talley called to check on me and is bringing me dinner on Thursday....YUMMY! She is SO SWEET, and a GREAT cook, too! That is going to be a huge blessing...My mom is having a heart cath that day and will be coming home to my house...With me still hurting, she is a huge help...now I can aviod the grocery store for a few more days...Yippee!
So...Here's to a continued really cool week...full of more unexpected blessings...and hopfully some much needed answers to my sono and blood tests! Let me know what God is doing in your life...He is blessing you, too...even if you have to look past some of the crummy stuff to see it!
