Prayers out to your and your family. Sounds like comfort food is in order. There are times when that just does the trick. Bring on the spagetti and a chocolat cake. If you can take a hot bath. (ya I know, with little ones in the house that is always not so easy) It is amazing what a little quiet "you time" will do for you.

Did someone say "comfort food?"

Does lunch at the local pizza joint count?

Well, when all the NEW muck started on top of the old muck...my dd informs me on the way home from school that she was saved. (christian school) I inquire about it but don't get much more info about it. I tell her that I am very happy and it was great to hear that that she had asked God into her life... but as soon as I got home, I had phone calls and this and that to attend to because of the muck. So it pulled me away from tending to my girls and the joy I felt we should have been sharing on this occasion. And when I asked her more about it later...something else happened regarding the muck that pulled me away....ugh.

We had already talked about salvation through out her life and I was confident that she knew what she needed to know at her level of maturity and was sure she understood salvation and was saved...but when she came home with the "good news" and the declaration she was saved and was so happy telling me...I felt it was a pivital moment in her life and cause for a celebration. Hence the pizza and buffalo wings lunch at the "funny pizza guy" (owner and silly dad we know from church) restaurant today...two days after the fact.

Yesterday I was able to talk to her teacher about the crowning moment.

And so through all this muck and mire...a very beautiful and wonderful event happened and I am sad and happy at the same time.

I'm sad because I feel like the muck over shadowed a time that I should have been very attentive and rejoicing with my daughter. But the muck blew up on that day. Darn that muck. It makes me mad and sad...that muck.

I used up what very close to we had till the first of March to be able to eat out today...and it was worth every penny. We walked into the restaurant and my kids are jumping up and down and pointing and yelling at the pizza guy, "You funny pizza guy!" and the guys from the firehouse were there and a middle aged couple who want to buy one of my extra roo's (cuz "theirs died and thier hens are lonely"

) and funny pizza guys wife and one of his little boys were eating and VERY amused at the sudden RUSH of EXITEMENT that entered the place. ha ha ha. It was a really great lunch.

Thanks for your continued support and prayers my crazy chicken friends. God bless you all.

Love in Christ,
Gretchen
