Temprano yo te Buscare

I came across this song…that I totally love. I fell in love with this song when I first moved to Chile. And I clung to it during happy and sad times. Marcos Witt wrote the song from one of the Psalms. I really miss Chile this week. I don’t know what it is. I just miss it.  If you don’t speak Spanish then you better get your translator out. Or maybe tomorrow when I am not so tired I will translate it for ya’ll.
Temprano yo te buscare
de madrugada yo me acercare a ti
mi alma te ahnela y tiene sed
para ver tu gloria y tu poder

Mi socorro haz sido tu
y en la sombra de tus alas
yo te buscare
mi alma esta apegada a ti
porque tu diestra me ha sostenido
oh tu diestra me ha sosteni i i do

Moments in Time

Well today we had to call 911 cause my baby girl put something in her mouth and was choking. I was at a friends house when it happened. I was freaking out, she was getting red, and gasping. I was trying to pull it out with my finger, then she had some blood come out. Tried flipping her over and hitting her back. Nothing, so I said, we need to call 911 NOW. So we did. By the time they got there she was starting to do better. We did find a piece of something that looked like velum paper that was in her mouth. It was so scary. I have been holding her all afternoon. I can not even let me mind go to the “What If’s!” I am just happy that the Lord was watching over her. And me so I would not have a heart attack. I am CPR certified. But when it is your own baby in distress…all my reason went out the window. If it would have been someone else’s baby I would have been calm. I am just praying that nothing like this ever happens again. The Lord watches over all who Love HIM. And I am thankful today that he did.

So today I have been reflecting my friendships. Past and Present. Have you ever felt like there was something in the way of one of your friendships, but you don’t know what it is.  I feel like that with one of my friendships. It is the strangest thing. I can not put my finger on it. I cherish my friendships that I have. If you are my friend then you are a friend of mine for life. And when a friendship is hurting, it makes me hurt. Or have you seen one of your friends start down a path that did not make sense. And you on the outside could see where it was heading but they couldn’t. And when you try to talk to them about it they just get upset. And you know you are right. And they are just trying to rationalize to make themselves feel better about what there doing. So what do you do, just sit back and watch, try to intervene. I am a fixer. So my first instinct would be to try and help. Or what about if your friend starts doing something and then it starts to really interfere with your friendship. Friendship can be a complex thing, or maybe I am making it more complex than it should be. Or when a friend hurts you. Hhmmm, maybe I need to listen to one of my pastor’s sermons called a Pebble In My Shoe. So today I am feeling a bit hurt. I normally am able to just shake stuff off, but this one thing is really getting under my skin. And it is making me upset. And I feel like I have lost a friend. And that is down right upsetting. So what am I going to do…well how do some homemade chocolate chip cookies and a big glass of milk sound??

Root Canal

So my root canal went good. Was not nearly as painful as I thought it would be.But my jaw really hurt when it was all done and it still hurts actually. Thank goodness we live in a country where you can get Advil. Me and my  new porcelain tooth look interesting. At least it is not silver and it looks like I have some bling, bling in my mouth!
Today me and my sister in law planted our garden, we have so many wonderful things growing. I am really anxious to see things sprout up. She also helped me to plant the rest of my bulbs in the front of the house. And I cant wait to see all my flowers come up. As soon as they do you can guarantee that I will be posting some pictures.

We had Ben’s party. He wanted a bug party. So we made a snake cake. Or I attempted to make a snake cake. It was lots of fun. My sister brought her boyfriend Kyle to the party. It was good to see him interact with all the family…and he interacts good….I like him lots, and am happy that my sister is so happy. He sent her flowers today and she was so excited. I told him he scored lots of points with that…..Cha-Ching!!!!!!

I am seriously thinking about opening an online store. I want to Call it Simply Baby. I want to try and sell some things on there that I make. So I am processing it all right now, what to sell, how much…. Tony said he would build me a store off this website. I am really praying about it. We will see how it all goes.

Right now we are having some issues with Bryce. I know it is his medicine he is on. I have a call into his doctor to see about switching it. He has got to be on something else. Or better yet, Jesus please just heal him. I have total confidence that he can.

I also really want to go on a missions trip. Missions is in my blood. I was raised doing it. I love it. I love giving people the hope that I have in Jesus. I would love to go back to Chile. I love the Chilean people. They are so kind and loving. They are so receptive of the gospel. It makes me upset how everything is so self service here in the USA and people just think they don’t need God. Or they just want him to be there sugar daddy when things get tough and then when things are great they don’t need him anymore. What kind of relationship is that???? Jesus is there only Hope. I better stop or I could right a sermon.

Going to lay down for a nap. Have a great day!

Isnt she the cutest baby ever?

Benjamin and his Snake Cake

This is my FAVORITE drink at Starbucks. I do not recommend this sugar free. If you are going to drink it enjoy every bit of fat in it! IT IS SO GOOD. I could drink one every single day!

This is Kyle and Holly. Aren’t they so cute. I know it is a bit blurry….I like the way he dresses. And Yes Holly I like the way you dress to!

More cake goodness. Of course he only ate the icing all off the top of it! What a big boy he is. And don’t you just love his curly hair. I hope it always stays like that!
