Good morning friends.
Welcome back. I am sorry for being away from the blog this past week, it has been a week, let's just say that. I am actually getting this post up on Sunday afternoon to be ready to go in the morning, because I'll be heading to Oklahoma with my husband early morning for a dental appointment.
He has an infected tooth and the VA set up an appointment for September 28th. I would cry if that didn't make me laugh. But, we have the option to go to the army base and do an emergency dental visit, which is what we will be doing. Hopefully we can get him fixed up and feeling better.
I hope you've all had a blessed weekend. Mine was not very good, Saturday was my Nicholas' 23rd birthday, I can't believe he is 23 and 6 foot 2. Wow! Much as we tried to give him a good birthday, my poor husband was in excruciating pain and did his best to join in, but we felt awful for him. I ended up convincing him, and it took a LOT (please tell me why men are so stubborn when it comes to doctors?), to go to urgent care Sunday morning and be seen. He fought me on it but finally gave in and he was able to get a steroid shot, strong pain meds and antibiotics, which helped tremendously until we see the dentist.
Anyway, I've babbled enough. Let's get this post up and then move on with our week. Have a blessed week my friends.

*** Right now I am ***
At my desk, I just checked on Curt and he is finally pain free and fast asleep. He was up all night with horrible pain, so I'm thrilled that he is finally sleeping.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
On the blessings that God provides. As much as the tooth situation is frustrating, not just from the standpoint of seeing him in pain, but the fact that the VA gives him an appointment for September knowing he has a tooth infection, but in the middle of all this, God came through with a blessing.
The visit at the Urgent Care Clinic came to nothing. We didn't have to pay a single cent because of our Tricare Military insurance and the VA insurance for him as well. What a blessing!
*** How I am feeling ***
Tired, but thankful. Although I was able to sleep last night, the stress of seeing him in pain wears me out.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
Cup of coffee, not sure what else because we will be on the road pretty early. Will probably grab something after the dental appointment.
*** On the lunch plate ***
Not sure either, will probably be in Lawton still.
*** On the dinner plate ***

I am finishing off Mary Magdalene. I didn't get as much reading as I would have liked because I took the week off to finish my crochet blanket, which I'm happy to say, is finished. ♥
In the Bible I am finishing off reading Exodus.
For a book review I have Nero and Paul by Kathie Lee Gifford and Dr. Bryan Litfin, and also God Won't Leave You There by Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright. It is a book about Joseph's story and I am really looking forward to this one so will start this one first.
In Christian fiction, I have the second book in Connilyn Cossette's Out of Egypt series, which is called Shadow of the Storm.

I finished the Solstice Star Blanket. You guys, I debated last week whether I would just stop where I was or go all the way. I wanted to stop but then something just said, don't, just go all the way you are only 6 rows away from completing it. So I did. It is beautiful and well worth the time and effort it took to make it.
I have just started the Universe in Bloom blanket this weekend and am enjoying it as well, I'm working with new to me yarn. I've always stuck with the Red Heart Super Saver because, well, because I'm cheap to be fair Hahahah
However, I found cheap yarn at Michael's and decided to try that for this blanket and am really loving it. I might try and stick with this one for a while. They are the Soft Classic which is an Acrylic Yarn but very soft and almost like a cotton feel to it. It is lovely to work with.

God promises that when we face challenging times, He will be with us. He wants to be our teacher and guide, but we must position ourselves to respond to Him. We need to ...
