Lessons learned the first 50 years

I hit a milestone. I turned 50 years old. I am thankful that I don't feel 50.   I am thankful for things God has taught me throughout those 50 years. .  I have learned that God loves mercy and when I feel a sense that justice needs to happen over mercy, all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for when God gives me mercy instead of a just punishment.   (Micah 6:8 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) ( Luke 6: 36  Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ) I have learned that hurt people end up hurting people.   When I am able to see that I didn't hurt them but I am bearing the results of that persons hurt inflicted by other people, it helps me forgive whatever hurt they pushed onto me and move on.  (Romans 12 : 18  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. )  I have learned that anyone who thinks they have God

Fifth's Disease

-
On July 12th, Noah (my 11 1/2 year old) got a virus. July 16th, I began to run a fever. That fever lasted 4 days. I went to the doctor on July 19th and she said it is a virus, "come back if you still have a fever in a few days". July 20th, I developed a lacy rash all over my torso. The next day, the lacy rash moved to my arms. The next day, the rash looked just like a very bad sunburn. It was the weirdest thing! All the while, I felt just wiped out! I have been training to run a 1/2 marathon yet, I couldn't even get off the couch. I went back to the doctor on Friday, July 23rd. After buckets of blood work, they tell me I have Fifth's Disease ..a nasty virus and the my liver is in rebellion. My white blood count was also way too low. Please pray when I go give them more buckets of blood today, that my counts will be heading towards the normal ends. My poor husband has been pulling double duty for almost 2 weeks. I am ready for our regular normal. :)

Starbucks before Bedtime

Well, I had to do it. I had the Vente Mocha about two hours before bedtime. I suppose having completed 60 minutes of P90 X with my sweet husband a few hours before, I still had no problem going to sleep. However, I woke up at 3:30 and now I am not able to sleep. I still think the coffee...and the company I had at the coffee shop...was worth it, but ask me again tomorrow when I am juggling Bible Study, 3 kids (one of which is sick), preparing dinner, training for my 1/2 marathon in November (I have to run over 5 miles tomorrow). ...I think I hear another Starbucks calling...
