Thank you Lord for first glances. Thank you Lord for second chances. Lord, tonight I am praising you in the most high from a place that could have easily been my most low. Lord, I thank you for your hand of protection around Carson, Lord I thank you for your eyes with the driver of that truck, Lord I thank you for your arms and strength with me.
Tonight I am reminded of 2 verses: "Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8 and also "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Tonight, I have seen that the Lord is good, that He is our protector, and that He gives us strength of all kinds, and that He is always, always with us. It may sometimes seem like He isn't there, but He is always with us. And apart from Him, we can do nothing. With a joyful heart I sing the praises to my King.
That is all I can put for now, as I go to snuggle with my precious gifts from God.

Off To Iowa We Go...
So Tue we were leaving for Iowa and our plan was to leave at 11:30am. Here is how the day played out:
8am Dalton went to school
8:30 I went to work for one client/friend
*Apparently, during this time Jason not only packed everything and the car, but he also cleaned the entire house! Spotless! (I have been slacking a little lately)
11am Dalton out of school
11:30 I came home from work and last minute Wal-Mart trip.
*Finish packing car and last minute things.
*Stop at McDonald's and Radio Shack
1:30 Finally on Highway headed out of town for a 10 hour trip!
4pm While driving down the road Jason and I realize that my fully packed roll-up bag has been left at home. (Due to a little miscommunication) This bag contained all children's meds, my meds, band-aids, toothbrushes, shampoos, skincare, make-up, deodorant, etc. AAAAGGGGHHHH!
6:45 Arrive in Wichita, KS, eat at Cracker Barrel
8pm Stop at Wal-Mart and buy meds, band-aids, deodorant, toothbrushes, a little make-up to get me by for 5 days. (Which by the way, they do not carry Bare Minerals) And I was trying to be cost conscious.
9:30 Finally back on road-Wooo-Hooo!
Driving......
Driving......
At some point, Jason and I switched so he could rest a little...
More Driving...
1:45am about 10 minutes from Grandma's house, we pull up on a road crew-guess what? Road closed! They are moving farm equipment (or something like that) So we have to go about 15 minutes out of our way- up and around)
2:12am Arrive at Grandma Mildred's house in Iowa! Only 13 hours!
Did I also mention that I spent most of the trip crawling back and forth over the back seats to help the boys with their video games and movies-all the while trying not to squish the dog. Yes, you read right-Levi was with us! While he is a pretty decent dog, he remains a thorn in my side!
Needless to say, we decided to re-evaluate the seating situation on the way home.
