God can renew your strength


The whole family enjoyed my dad's visit. However, I forgot to take Sophia to the Riley show and she quit gymnastics. I was sick on the day of the church yard sale after throwing up the previous night. Can you tell that last week was very hard for me?

Sophia did end up enjoying a great Riley Show and a great afternoon playing with Lauren and Olivia. Elena and I ate at Chick-fil-A and went shopping together. That was the calm before the storm though. On Tuesday, Sophia had the stomach virus first and then at 2:00 am on Thursday morning, I did my own throwing up. Raul only worked on Wednesday, which was a relief. He was home when I was sick. That was a major blessing. He ended up with a mild version of the stomach virus too. I am thankful he did not throw up like Sophia and I. Elena did seem to feel a little under the weather today. I hope she doesn't throw up next.

Sophia had lots of fun with Gymnastics and maybe she can take it again later, but they are practicing the recital program now and that includes a dance. She did not feel comfortable dancing because she knows that dancing is not an activity that Raul and I want her to be doing. Dancing is not bad inherently, but some dance is aimed at being sexy and so we don't want her involved. No one needs to be sexy, especially a five year old child.

This link has really raised my spirits today and helped me put my troubles back in perspective. My outlook is so positive, because God is awesome. Check it out for yourself. It is so worth the time you will spend.

Papaw is coming!


Papaw is coming to visit today or tomorrow. He told Sophia that he would return in April, so she has been asking me for months, "Is it April?" I am glad it's April too. Spring is so refreshing and yes, I am glad that my dad is coming to visit too.


We are going to a play date at Bonita Lakes today and Sophia has gymnastics class in the afternoon. We haven't gone anywhere in days, so today should be fun.


Community Seventh-day Adventist Church is having a huge yard sale on Thursday, April 14, 2011. Come catch some great deals. They usually have everything from furniture, to clothes to toys. If you need directions, check out the link "Life Changing Adventure" on my website: PlantPassionPlace.webs.com. It's on my calendar too.

Another Spring Day

I read in a book that you should write down everything, because you don't know what will be important until later. I am at 18 weeks pregnant and I now look pregnant, at least to me. I played the piano for Elena's Sabbath school class today. We ate lunch at church and it was delicious, as usual. Now, we are home and I don't want to give the computer to Raul, but the day is warm with sunshine and lots of flowers are blooming. Perhaps I will give up the computer, after all. Daffodil Trio #2
