Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all had a great day with your families. I made it through my testimony this morning and I was overwhelmed by so many people praying for peace over me this morning. I woke up this morning with several texts telling me that they were praying for me and received several more as I was getting ready giving me encouragement. I made it through the testimony without crying! I think my voice cracked once, but I kept my emotions in check and I was thankful. I know God wanted me to share my story, but I have to be honest, I am glad this day is over 😌. I have spent a lot of time today being thankful for my mom. I am so thankful for her love for me and my kids. I have thought a lot about my Grandma today who I miss terribly. I am thankful for the legacy she left behind in her granddaughters. One of the best compliments I got today was on my writing of my testimony. I love that I inherited a knack for writing like my Grandma. I have thought about two Korean women who made a loving choice to give me the opportunity to be a mom. I have thought of the countless women in my life over the years that have poured their lives into mine to make me the woman that I am today.
After church today we grilled out and then I got some much needed rest. It was a pretty rough week. One of the teachers at school had a death in her family and another teacher needed to take a day, so I was subbing most of the week. I think I have mentioned before that I get called to sub sometimes. I really try to be flexible and help when I can, but it really is exhausting for me and when it's most of the week it really took a toll on me. I didn't sleep great this week and I got sucked into a Netflix series so I had a few late nights 😏. I had hoped to sleep in on Saturday, but about 5:00 Saturday morning Samuel woke us up because he had a terrible bloody nose. He gets nose bleeds once in a while, but he always just handles it and only mentions it to me long after he had one, so to come wake us up I knew it had to be bad. He was scared and I had a hard time not being scared. It was bleeding so bad and he had tried to get it stopped but didn't know how long it had been bleeding.The bathroom downstairs looked like a crime scene. Jeremy had to send me out of the bathroom because I was about to take him to the emergency room. We applied ice and Jeremy pinched Samuel's nose for awhile. I applied some essential oil that is supposed to help stop a nose bleed (which I believe it did help, Jeremy not so sure). It was almost 6:00 by the time we got it stopped and cleaned up. I made him go back to sleep on the couch and I laid back down on the other couch. I wanted to be close in case it started to bleed again, Saturday was spent running some errands and fighting the crowds at all of the stores. Looks like this week is going to be another busy week. I am subbing again tomorrow. There is a high school open house on Tuesday (please continue to pray). Wednesday is our community group. Thursday night and Friday night is the school play which Samuel has a part in. My parents are coming in Friday to see the play and then staying the night. And just like the week is filled 😲.
Thank you again for your prayers and love! Hope everybody has a fabulous week!
