I'm BACK!

Woke up knowing immediately that I felt better.  Hoping it wasn't a fluke.  Did a little cleaning and took my time getting out the door.

It was great to see the kids.  They are still sick too.  I got lots of hugs from the sick ones and left the few healthy ones alone.

My friend Marlin is having her cesarean on Wednesday.  She said she is scared, but prepared.  She has reason to be nervous.  It is a high risk pregnancy because she has lupus.  But she has done so well outside of a flu bug a few months ago and her swollen feet.  I am excited for her and feel confident she and her baby will be healthy.

We scrubbed the kitchen in preparation for tomorrow's 31 year anniversary celebration for the church.  I'll be honest.  I mostly watched.

Things are falling into place.  I am not frustrated about the things I was frustrated about.  There is nothing I can do about one of the situations.  The other situation may fall into place eventually.  Or it may not.  Either way I need to continue on.  I had a good talk with Belinda today and felt better afterward.

Lorenzo is starting individual therapy.  In his first session he apparently revealed a lot of problems in his life.  I really don't know anything about it and couldn't share if I did.  All I know is it was sad to hear.

Next week I hope to meet with Ethel about her ideas for ways I can serve outside of the Breakfast Program - maybe in other parts of the Plentiful Life Program.

I think I am officially bouncing back from this flu.  I can rest tomorrow until our church celebration in the evening.  Then I have no plans for Sunday or Monday, which is a holiday so we won't serve breakfast.

Please pray for Lorenzo and keep Marlin in prayer as she prepares to bring her new baby into the world!  Our friend Clara is still in the hospital with Leukemia, placenta previa, and 26 weeks pregnant.  She needs prayer too.  The hope is that she can keep the baby inside for a few more weeks of development.

I am watching pictures of snowfall in the US and thinking about the upcoming ski season
