week in review

We've had some crazy days around our house lately. Here is our past week in review

Monday-This was a typical day around here. I cleaned, grocery shopped, played-the usual. That afternoon and went to the Lighthouse for my internship. Typically, on Mondays, I go to Zumba and host a Highschool girls Bible study at our house but that got cancelled. I got to just enjoy the evening at home. It was so nice. I made tacos and we all sat around the table to eat. (We usually do sit at the table but, since our schedule got thrown out due to all the sickness in our house, we haven't gotten to do it as regularly)

Tuesday-nothing to special here. Lucy and I made cupcakes for the Lighthouse Kids. I love that she loves to bake with me...even if it does mean doing twice the amount of dirty dishes.

Wednesday-I got my stitches out of my finger after my nasty run in with a food slicer. My appointment was at 10 AM so I went out a little earlier and returned a couple of things at Wal-Mart. That evening we went to church and after the service we went to The Setter's house to have a service since Chris hasn't been able to attend since his surgery. Our pastor was sick and Thom preached. There were cookies and cake and Lucy enjoyed herself there, as always. Thom spoke of Moses taking his shoes off because God said He was standing on Holy Ground. There was nothing special about the dirt He was on, dirt is dirt. But, Moses was in the presence of God-that is what made where He was at Holy. It's not where we are at, it's who we are with. Chris didn't have to miss out on "Church" because he couldn't go to a building. God's people are the church. If our church building burned down, Oak Ridge Baptist would still exist because of the people, not the building. I'm thankful for that, that our God is bigger than a building-no building can house Him.

Thursday- Lucy had to go back to the doctor for a check up on her Bronchitis last week. She was 27 lbs. and 36 inches. We had to wait an hour before we went back and she was perfect! We got called back to the check up room and she sat up on the table like such a big girl :) She let the doctor listen to her chest (a far cry from last week) and all was well.

After the doctor, we met up with daddy and burger king and had a little lunch. :) We love lunch dates with our favorite guy.

Friday-Saturday - I attended the Lifeway Girls Conference with two of our highschool girls and another youth worker. These girls are so inspiring. They desire to be different than the culture that they are surrounded by and truly follow the Lord. They are so hungry to learn. I wish I had been like that when I was their age and I'm so glad that Lucy is surrounded by role models that are a great example of being a girl in this world, captivated by God. We had a wonderful time at the conference. I was exhausted but, it was worth it. We also visited GiGi's cupcakes-wonderful doesn't even begin to describe it.

We've been incredibly busy lately but, I'm not sure I would know how to function if we weren't :)
