I have been overwhelmed at times in my life. I am sure everyone can empathize with that feeling. At times it can seem that everything is bearing down on you at once and the air around you gets a bit hard to breathe. We have had some days like that as of late….
The past few weeks have been bit of a blur. There has been doctor's appointments for Andy (his health has not been at its best in the past couple of months), caring for Brieanna as she heals and then a second surgery and hospital stay for her just 4 weeks ago. We even had a procedure for Andy in the same hospital, AT THE SAME TIME as Brieanna's surgery! Andy's mother has been in and out of hospital and Andy has been extremely worried - especially with not being able to be near her. We have been planning for our church Couple's Valentine's dinner as well as company coming to stay with us and then a baptism and "all church dinner" as well. These are all necessary, needed, and even fun things to have in our lives.
The Cashner family arrived on Friday, February 7. Saturday, the day of church Valentine dinner, was crazy but so worth it as the meal and activities went so well! The folks had a great time and Bro. Keith Cashner brought a very needed and applicable devotion for the night. Dinner was so yummy and the whole spirit of the night was sweet! God really blessed the fellowship through the evening.It was late when we finally got the community centre back in shape and headed home. Pulling into our drive, Andy got a phone call that Emily had fallen and gotten hurt! We rushed out of the car and into the house and upstairs to find the Brieanna sobbing, and Emily, poor girl, naked and screaming on the floor. I expected blood, but what we got was VERY pink legs and rear-end area. While running their bath, the kids had turned on just the HOT water and Emily had fallen into it trying to climb into the tub on her own. I had no idea our water got THAT hot!
