Please Send TP

I've said it before, I'll say it again...ya'll are such a tremendous blessing!

When I felt like God was leading me to blog land, I didn't know the amazing blessings that would be waiting. Your love and prayers and encouraging comments bless me more than my words can express! Thank you just doesn't seem adequate.

In the midst of this uncertain season, so many people have been asking what they can do. I love it that Lana offered to bring me lots of chocolate and then added "If you don't like the stuff, (I'd think you were totally weird) then I'd bring you some other scrumptious dessert!" That cracks me up. And yes, I LOVE chocolate. So, I guess that I'm not weird, but that's debatable.

What our family really needs, besides prayer, is...um...are you ready?

We need toilet paper. Yep, I said it...good ole TP. Soft, triple ply, it doesn't matter.

Let me explain.

I bawled my eyes out driving myself to class yesterday. I didn't want to go because my heart was home with Rachel. Good news! The video techie stuff didn't work and the professor had to let us go early. Thank you, Lord!

So, I decided to call Rachel to check on her and then swing by the grocery store on my way home. She was crying. Her headache was severe and she just needed mom.

So, naturally I threw caution to the wind and flew home at the speed of light.

We now have a new house rule. Only 2 squares of toilet paper, 3 if its absolute necessary until Momma can get to the grocery store. Our home is blessed with 4 bathrooms. Between the 4 we have 2 rolls left. But good news! My oak trees have shed their leaves and provided us with extra help if the need arrives.

I always liked Little House on the Prairie shows, I just don't care to live it.

So, hopefully, when my Rachel wakes up, I can make a run for the TP.

'Cause Momma is not using leaves.

Yes, thanks to your prayers and words of encouragement, I have my sense of humor back today.
In the middle of the night I was feeling a bit helpless. I'm doing all that I know to do, but still feeling helpless. As I was pouring my heart out to the Lord, He seemed to encourage me to stop fretting and start thanking and praising instead. Of course this is just what I needed to be doing.

I had already poured out my requests for Rachel but I still had a lot of thanks to bring before the throne (Sorry! Bad choice of words w/ a picture of toilet paper at the top of this post. I meant The Throne...I hope you know that). God is so good!

Thank you for standing in the gap for me yesterday. I love ya'll so much!!!!)

As my friend Leah says, "Smoochie holy kisses" to all of you!
