Queenies Little Kingdom

On our way home last night from a day of shopping and having fun…..we passed this sweet reminder of what it’s all about! J E S U S !!

This live nativity was on the corner of the main intersection of Henryville, Indiana. A tiny little town right off the I-65 exit about 40 miles from Louisville, Kentucky. We cut through this area on our way home from the big city! 😉

Surprise….just for us!

Those words…..were just what my dear friend told me yesterday that she had prayed for me. God heard her and many other’s. Thank you to my family and friends for beating down heaven’s door on my behalf. I can’t explain the many emotions I’ve felt since last Saturday when I found a mysterious lump in my breast.

Can you say….STOP in your tracks? I literally did just that. {imagine screeching tires right now!}

From the moment I went into the hospital this morning….satan tried to throw darts my direction. But God would have none of it. I arrived to them not having MY paperwork but a lady named Jaunita who’s 30 years older than me. Thirty minutes later we were on our way with MY paperwork/referral from my doctor. Yes, Lord…Yes!

Once I was back in radiology, she told me that I would have the mammogram and then need to leave for lunch and come back for more testing. HUH? I wasn’t expecting to be there for anything other than the mammo. After we finished, she had me go back to my little waiting room. Just a few minutes later she came in and told me to come on back for an ultrasound. Did that, then they wanted to do more pictures via the mammogram.

After just a little wait….the sweet radiologist came back in and said, “We have no explaination for it, we can’t SEE ANYTHING!!”. Then she gave me a big hug and said, “This is GOOD NEWS!!”.

Overwhelming. Joyous. Amazeballs!

Me at the hospital.

God, you are the great physician. Thank you doesn’t seem adequate enough. I’m completely at a loss for words.
I trust YOU!
Amen

Today is the end of our first semester of school. Whew! Never thought we’d make it! During the night (as I tossed & turned) we had a snow/sleet/blah roll in. The result? Bad roads and a 2 hour delay! 🙁

On a day like today….I’d really rather not try to go anywhere. But, who am I to make snow safety decisions? hehe. I’m going with the attitude–I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN! Don’t judge, it’s my own form of encouraging myself. Goodness knows, I need it!

I’m excited that my mother-in-law’s sweet present arrived last night. I look forward to “trying to keep up” with the big girls (THE SIESTAS) in this years memory challenge. Eek! I’m going to have to buckle down. If you’ve never heard of it….go here! I love Beth Moore and I really love my mother-in-law! THANK YOU!!!

Let today be the day you show someone how much you love Jesus! That’s my challenge to me as well.

Today is snow day #3! 🙁 While I’m a huge fan of all things having to do with free time and pj’s….I’m not one to love an extra long school year. I think I’ve said it before, I LOVE SUMMER BREAK!! As of now, we’ve eaten up our 2 built in make-up days and are now on the count for extra days added onto the end of the school year. BIG FAT BOO!!!

I don’t want to sound like a big baby complainer. I actually enjoy staying up too late and sleeping in the next day. It’s just the later thing that gets me. Oh I’ll be all indignant come JUNE! Trust me, I’m capable of getting a real whiny attitude when we’re plugging along on the dead days of “gotta make em up” time. Can you say, baby?

I will admit. It’s so beautiful outside my windows that I can’t stop peering out. Every single flake of snow gets me excited. It has to be my Florida girl roots. I never get tired of seeing it (I say that now). Snow is just gorgeous!

Now we begin to try to balance out catching cabin fever. Since we’re on the strict budget (umm, the DO NOT SPEND A PENNY BUDGET!)…shopping is but a dream. I’m trying to figure out ways to keep my family from going bonkers. Cooking, cleaning and playing on Facebook are starting to make even me feel kooky!

If you can imagine that… 🙂

I’ll post some pictures soon. Woke up to a dead battery!

One more thing. I just put the LAST garbage bag in the can. EEEK! Either we will have to make a Walmart run or else we’re going on throw away lockdown. Haha!
