I asked Tatum to lead us in a HOPE study, and she took over! Man, look at her bullet-pointed handout. *wince*..who taught her that?
We each read some verses….
Then we watched some songs…. I LOVE THIS ONE! My Living Hope!
She was so professional on her new iMac. I felt so warm and loved after this. Jesus, you are our LIVING HOPE!
My favorite one in this:
but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
WAITING produces the RENEWAL!! (of strength.) This is my lesson. Amen. Thank you Tatum!
His love has been my saving grace. What would I do without Jesus? His love does conquer all! Maybe it just hasn’t caught up with my health struggles yet, but He is with me through it all.
I woke up to a lovely Happy Birthday song from Tot and joy from my Hubby.
We got ready for church, and Coopy wanted to love on me too!
Join us Tot!!
Coopy got kicked out of this one, and I removed my specs.
Church was wonderful, but more importantly, I was just glad I wasn’t symptomatic today! God was GOOD!!! Mom couldn’t come over, however, as we are putting things off until we all heal. It’s been a struggle, but we are powering through.
Later, Tot sang THREE songs to me! She sang about a woman named Stephanie Knight adopted a baby at birth and it changed BOTH of their lives. I WEEPED.
Then she did a rap with herself on the iPad and danced for me!
I was OVERWHELMED and so happy! Then she spoiled me with some gifts as well as little Coopy.
My sweet honey gave me the BEST card and pillow! I also get to purchase a “big ticket” item when I’m ready. He’s so good to me.
The pillow says it all. I AM BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF.
But first, I got a sweet text from her while I got ready.
I also got one from Austin!! I was so honored.
When we got there, of course we had to get ready for the camera, right? I love this girl.
WOW!! Anyway, Why do I love this girl so much?
Being her teacher, mom, friend, counselor, and nurse, I wear many hats. However, lately, we’ve been more friends. She’s had to watch me really suffer this past year, and for that, I’m not happy, but I am grateful that she is here. She’s become resilient because of it.
Then she was up on stage today….
She had to sit down! Then, exiting the stage in the back, she fainted. Oh my…we came straight home. She just had a bad bout of dehydration I think, but man, it put a change in our plans. So the rest of the day was really rest. But later, she put together a concert for Daddy and me.
THREE songs she made up about loving me and “that’s MY MOM!” Yeah…with the hip hop beat.
Dancing and singing. All to songs she made up from beats she created. It was amazing. The best I’ve ever seen! Then she honored me with some gifts. The card was so kind.
she mentioned our “ping-pong days” which is so true and sad (with my health) but I know they are getting better.
“I don’t even want to go on vacation. I just want you BETTER!” YES!
A whole gift box of bath goodies, candle, and the cutest cup.
Then Coopy got me something. YES! HEEEEEE!
He will vacuum for me? The best dog ever.
And my honey. My sweet HHH got me the BEST card and money for SBC cafe which has the most adorable Jesus trinkets.
I gave Tatum this because she is the best mom to Rio. He is so blessed to have her; her responsibility shines with having him.
I just felt so loved and honored. We’ll celebrate my mom next week since we all were kind of sick today.
Coopy loved on me at the end of the night as usual!
