this week... wowers!!!! good, but boy have I had to be on my toes!!! The Lord has shown me 3 times (like the blinking florescent lite) that you must be ready!!!!....
It started on Sunday morning this past weekend. I got a call from the lady I co-teach Sunday school with and her kiddos were sick (have we not ALL been there that our kiddos seem to be sick like in an instant) so she was to teach and the Lord had me elsewhere in the scriptures so I had not even looked at the lesson... BAD!!! He reminded me that I will be prepared every week :) then on Sunday morning I got a call from one of the other teachers that she was gonna be out, the other had just had a baby, and the other was in Texas and the other was not suppose to be there... sooooo that left me with all the girls to teach something I was not prepared for!... I laid in bed and prayed, the Lord gently reminded me that "Angela you will be held to a higher account for what you teach, how you handle my word".. I put my book down my book and begin to think of my quiet time ... so that morning we studied "what is man?" I did get a surprise call from one who was suppose to be out of town and she was able to be with us!.. it was a BLESSED time with all the ages of girls!..
second thing was on Thursday I get a call from a friend who sells real estate and says "Angela, can I show your home??" WHAT???? our house is not even on the market!!! so I called Doug and he said "sure!" well it showed today and the couple who looked at it had no kids, did not like to do yard work, and did not want stairs.... hmmmm our house is not for them! and that is OK!!! we love our home, we have been able to bless others when they walk in... what I took from this is: you never know when you need to be ready to sell your belongings... God reminds you that it really belongs to Him anyway!..
third was this morning.. we were getting the last touches on the house when I heard Doug yell... it was a change in tone so I knew something was wrong... he comes running in the house with blood EVERYWHERE and holding Andrew who was screaming.. NOT GOOD!!! Doug says I think he needs stitches.. OK... get ready Lane, Maelee and Caleb.. jump in the car and stop drop and roll out of the Hendrixes driveway.. oops we let Doug hold Andrew in his lap... at that point we were not even thinking about the law.. I repented! we get to the ER and they take us immediately... we were in and out in less than an hour... for the record this is the first kiddo with staples... 5 in that noggin!!! he did great and was such a trooper!... so after we promised ice cream.... this was hilarious as we were pulling into McDonalds to get the ice cream Andrew starts singing "Old McDonald had a tick" a tick??? where does he come up with this stuff???
as I have glanced back at the week the question comes to my mind "Are you ready???" ready to meet Jesus??? Do you know Him??
through His grace and mercy I was ready for all these things that transpired this week!!!... I can confidently say I know Jesus and so thankful that he saved me!!!!
