Quick Update

Just a quick update:

Andrew is doing okay.  He is very tired and not feeling like himself, but we are still working on getting his thyroid medicine right. And he has increased his seizure meds to where they were before the insurance gave us fits.  He is working hard and running hard.  His days start well before 6:00 am, so I am glad spring break is coming soon for him!  He can rest and watch Net Flix and rest some more!

Peter got his leg brace today.  It fits from the top of his lower leg to the end of his foot.  It will keep his leg/foot straight so his foot will continue to be in the proper position for healing or to keep it healed!  We were fortunate to get to Hickory and back before it started snowing...again.  So now, it can pour.  We got that checked off the big list!  Peter goes to DECA on Sunday, and we will miss him.  He will be back Wednesday.  His senior year is flying by way too fast.  He goes back to the foot doctor mid-March to see if his foot has healed.

Will got a new bike...again.  Only this child could sell his bike and then buy another - in an ICE STORM!  I had to fuss at him for wheeling and dealing on his own.  It is a pretty bike, and I hope it stays around for a little while!  We have talked and walked and talked about settling down and being satisfied with what we have.  It's a problem a lot of us have these days - we need that good deal!  (It runs in my family - not naming any names!)

Sam is doing well.  He has a long check list that he is not aware of...yet.  It consists (and is still in my head) of all of the things that bother me.  The things he is behind in, the learning difficulties he has, the goals he has not met.  I am just going to tackle them - with God's help.  His sugars have been mostly good.  He has a little cough but has not been sick.  We are so thankful for that!  He said one night out of the blue recently (I put it on FB already) that I would not have to remind him in Heaven to check his blood sugar because his pancreas would work!  He understands more than we think!  And what a great reminder!

Pete is not sure when he will be going on another long trip - maybe not until fall.  So I have started bugging him about finishing up the bathrooms and moving on to some other projects!  Will is still on standby too!

I cried all the way to work the other morning.  Pete drove because it was pretty icy.  A song came on, and I don't remember which one it was, and I just had tears rolling down my cheeks.  Pete prayed with me and for me.  He reminded me to keep casting all of those cares and worries.  And I keep trying.  It felt good to have reminders everywhere in the past two days that HE is with me.  There were so many things that I know were sent from Him directly to me - reminders of how He cares and how He provides.

Today, I heard a Quick Word with Beth Moore THREE times!  The scripture was Jeremiah 33:6-16.  I am going to go back and read it a few more times.  There was a reason I heard her three times today when I miss her most days.

There are so many things that make my heart heavy - so much sickness and so much sadness.  I have been reminded over and over that He is in control.  He loves us and cares for us.  I praise Him because of Who He is!
