Sweet suprise...

Got a sweet suprise this weekend...Bubba came home. He's been living with Mawmaw and Pawpaw, so we don't see him too much these days. Don't worry, he isn't there because anything is wrong.. he just got a job with his uncle and this works out well. His expenses are very little, just gas from time to time. He gets great time with his grandparents and good home cooking. His sweet doggy, Macks, is there with him. This keeps him from feeling so lonely, I think. I wish he could live here, but honestly there is just not enough space. His double bed is set up in my dining room for times just like this, but 5 people and 1 1/2 baths just doesn't cut it. Not to mention only 2 bedrooms. God certainly blessed us with this house when we moved in, but I wish we had more space. The location is PRIMO (just across the street from the church), but space is always an issue. Oh well...my God shall provide all my needs according to his riches in glory, right?!!

So, back to the visit. I had been scheduled to sing special music this morning at church. Don't sing much anymore, but I do love to sing. I totally lost my confidence when we had a change in music ministers a few years back. Later, a move to another church and a really bad experience with the music minister there basically kept me from singing for years. Sad really... I am not a good singer, but I did always enjoy it at least. SO, last night when Bubba asked me what I was singing and offered to work on something with me- I was really excited! He is pretty good on the piano (self taught, just like all the other things he does so well...jealous!!) and we managed to put together a slowed down version of "I am resolved". It was pretty good! I forgot a couple of words and sang really loud (I do not have a volume control, I guess!), but otherwise it was ok.

God has a way of giving us those little sweet suprises sometimes. The other great part of this weekend was that Andrew preached. It was his first real sermon and I just thought he did a GREAT JOB!!! I am as proud of him as I am of my other 3 kids. He is one of mine too, in my heart. Thanks, God...I needed this!!!
