Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

It was a great week.  Didn't start out all that great, but it certainly ended up wonderful.  I have some sort of virus, or so the doctor suspects, that is causing me to throw up.  It has overtaken my body for at least three weeks, so he is going to refer me to a specialists.  Throwing up blood will tend to make him want to make sure that everything is okay.  Thankfully it is just a little bit of blood and not a lot of blood.  If I can ever get over this stomach stuff, I will be good to go.

Monday Hubster called telling me he found a flight home for $319.  He could get home late Wednesday and leave Saturday back to California.  Who could pass up that deal?  We certainly didn't.  We decided to surprise the kids.  They didn't know he was coming home for Thanksgiving.  The kids reactions to seeing their daddy was priceless.  It would give you a warm and fuzzy feeling.  Nothing like hearing your 4 year old scream and laugh when she saw her Daddy at 2 AM.  It was priceless, and I did video it.  It would bring tears to your eyes.  Thursday we had everybody here at my house.  I messed the turkey up.  I overcooked it.  Won't happen again.  Otherwise the food was really good if I do say so myself. I don't like turkey anyway.  Friday we did some black Friday shopping after all of the crazy people went home which means we went out about 9 AM.  We had to get a new tree.  Our tree is gorgeous this year.  *NTS post picture of beautiful tree*.  Saturday we took Hubster to the airport for his trip back to California.  BG told me I was mean because I wouldn't let her go with Daddy.  Yeap, that is me, mean Mommy.  We only have two weeks until he comes home, so this is a piece of cake.  Yes, you can hear a smile in my typing.  This is going to be a busy couple of weeks, so I'm expecting time to fly by.  Amazing how 2 weeks seems like such a short time.  Sunday though was what has made my week.  We had a special preacher, Dr. Tim Lee, *google him folks if you don't know who he is*.  I think he was there to preach at me Sunday morning.  It was just exactly what I needed to hear.  Revival starts with me.  I left that church service Sunday morning with a song in my heart, a lightness in my step, and a smile on my face.  I love having that joy, and I missed having it.  The stuff that was bothering me, I was able to let it go.  It isn't worth it.  I have wonderful friends who are there for me if I *very important note there I* would just ask for help if needed or reach out.  I know this, but Satan has a way of telling me that no I don't.  That is my weakness.  Well, I'm not going to let him have this joy.  It is mine, and God gave it to me.  Last night's service was nearly two hours.  It is amazing when you can feel God in your service.  He visited our church last night. Those that didn't make it to church last night missed out on a great service.  I have to miss church on Wednesday night because of speech class, and I'm bummed about it.  I would much prefer to go to church then  give a speech.  Oh well, I will do what I need to do.

Looking forward to a great week.  I get to see one of my best friends on Wednesday.  Friday is Ladies Tea at church.  Saturday KG has a dance recital outside in the cold, but we do at least get to see fireworks.  Sunday we are back at church, and there is a special concert Sunday night.  Then Hubster comes home at the end of next week.  Have I mentioned that "God is GOOD".  Thankful He has filled my schedule so full that I don't have a lot of free time to dwell on how much I miss Hubster.
