Good Intentions

When I started this blog I had good intentions. I was going to make sure I blogged at least every other day. It seems that even with the best intentions I can't get it done!

I still have this cast on my right foot. Boy, does it ache! (My foot...not the cast.) Our church ladies have been bringing dinner over the past few nights. It has been such a blessing! You don't know how sick I was of pizza, grilled cheese, and McDonald's (my DH's culinary skills)! One lady baked us a ham with apricot glaze, a salad, baked potatoes, corn, glazed carrots, and a strawberry cream pie. It was so good!!! Last night another lady brought roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and corn bread. I don't know what the next lady is going to bring, but I'm already excited about the possibilities! lol.

I was thinking about how wonderful it is that these ladies are able to serve the Lord in this way. Not that I'm enjoying being off of my feet or anything, but it is nice to look at it from the other side. If I weren't unable to do things than they wouldn't be able to be a blessing in this way. Does that make sense? I'm just so glad that they are enjoying being such a blessing to my family!

We are supposed to leave for our vacation early Monday morning. I'm still unsure of what we are doing. The doctors have cleared me to go as long as I stay in the wheel chair the whole time. Any walking could cause permanent damage to my foot. I hate the idea of going on a trip when I'm not mobile, but I also know that this trip was a blessing from God. I feel like not going would be wrong, too. I should trust that God knew I would be in a wheel chair & not feeling 100% when He gave us this gift.

I think I'm just tired today. I had to get up really early for an MRI so the doctor could clear me to go on vacation. Packing should be interesting. DH will have to follow directions. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up at our destination without any underwear or something. lol.

I should finish the rest of my computer work for church before I fall asleep...although a nap sounds really good right now. Maybe I'll nap first. Then maybe I will be able to do the bulletin without too many errors!

Don't feel so bad about blogging. I had these same intentions. But I think God teaches us balance in all our areas of life, including blogging. I know this has been the case for me. Hope your foot is doing better and hope you have a blessed and safe vacation. Keep in touch when you can.
