This Week....

Hey y’all!!! Sorry for the delay, this past week has been a week none of us will ever forget. Let me start from the top. We started the week out sick with colds and allergies, typical for us this time of year. I prayed healing prayers on everyone in my house and my mother in law’s house too. This string of illnesses has hit both homes with a vengeance. I refuse to let that lil demon of sickness take us down when we are working our way to the top. And praise GOD for bringing around some healing this week, by Thursday we were all on the mend!
Hayley kicked butt on Wednesday in speech therapy. Most of you who know me and Hayley know that she was born with cleft palate. Last July, Hayley had her surgery to repair her soft palate and a deviated septum. She has been in Speech Therapy since last October and has come leaps and strides with her speech. She is my angel child. Even her dentist is praising her surgeons for doing such an awesome job!
Now let me get to the BIGGEST day of this week: Friday, March 18, 2011. Pastor Joel Osteen from Lakewood Church in Houston brought Night of Hope to Nashville, and I had the honor and privilege of not only being able to serve but also attend with my church family. My church, Oasis Worship Center here in Nashville, was one of the sponsoring churches, helping to make this event possible. What an incredible night!!! I highly recommend to all of you that if the oppurtunity comes up in your area, GO!!! Those of us who attended from Oasis I can tell you know how to make some noise!!!
A pastor from each sponsoring church opened with a prayer and a declaration. When our Pastor Danny Chambers stepped up and starting speaking, I swear the rafters were shaking!!! Our Oasis family cheered and clapped with such power!!! We are blessed to be a part of Oasis church and family. And of course, Joel Osteen and his family were FAR from disappointing! So many lives have taken a new and awesome turn its amazing to see it happen. So like I said, if you get the chance, GO!!!
And to end this week, today, Saturday has been productive for all of us. This morning was spent scrubbing down the house and playing catch up on things that got skipped over this week. When we got done it was like kids on summer vacation! LOL! We headed out to Cracker Barrel for lunch and stopped over by the lake after we were done eating.
My 2 yr old dog, Hazard had the time of his life. He LOVES diving in and chasing sticks in the water. He kept on going til he couldn’t go anymore. Hayley loves throwing the sticks for him and investigates 95% of the rocks she stumbles upon. You see, in our house, we don’t collect flowers. We collect rocks: FROM EVERYWHERE!!! LOL! Not sure the reasoning behind it, if there is any, but Hayley has been collecting rocks for the past two years. She has found some interesting ones. Besides, they last longer.
So I wanted to share some of the pics with y’all from the past week.
