Yes, I am still alive!! I have been rather lazy in blog roll duties, these past few weeks.....Well, now that I think of it catatonia has more energy than I. We went to Joseph and Rosemary's wedding, last weekend. It was just beautiful...I though, looked like a cyanotic dreidle in my bridesmaids dress. Albeit a rather large cyanotic dreidel. Anyhow, after the rehearsal dinner, on Friday night (we rode with Pastor Dave and Jill over to the restaurant from the rehearsal site) and whilst getting back into the back of Pastors crew cab, Mark slammed the door on my foot. And after I stopped screaming....... it didn't hurt for too long, but I didn't notice the little cut on my second toe and by Tuesday, it was infected with cellulitis!! So it was off to pay another wonderful visit to Dr. Hallat, at the clinic and show him my boo boo, request a 10 day supply of bactrim and hear how I need to lose some weight (Duhr, I have mirrors in my house and I'm not blind yet!!Delusional maybe, but not blind) This time, he was touting some sort of "One step up from Starvation" diet.....I think sometimes that old man just likes yanking my chord) He did though, renew my scrips for a year.....Whoo Hoo.....I had to miss choir practice on Wednesday and I wasn't happy about that. I love my time with my choir brothers and sisters. I'm still a hopeless windbag and consummate smart mouth and I still enjoy an hour or two of verbal sparring mixed with my music. Pastor Dave sent me email, though with the new song that they learned Love the Lord by Lincoln Brewster......What a song!! He also let me know that he'd chosen one of my favorite Hymns.....Day by Day, which right now, seems to describe my entire existence!! Day by Day and with each passing moment, faith I find to meet my trials here!! Last Wednesday Pastor also gave me a demo of a new song he wants to sing with me, in the future (Who'da thunk little ole me would ever be singing duets with Pastor??) This will be our 4th song together....the first was No Wonder...Easter 2009...the second, Strange Way to Save the World Christmas 2010, the third, I've Just Seen Jesus Easter 2010......I am so blessed and honored to sing with such an amazing brother and friend. I am even more blessed to have the gift of song. For those of you who just joined the party and don't know....I quit smoking 7 months ago, after smoking for 22 years....and I quit cold turkey.....seeeeee....my God is REAL!!! That's helped my voice tremendously.....I went from a raspy Kathy Troccoli to a lower range Sandi Patty......I sing mostly soprano in our choir, but sometimes I sing harmony with Pammie.
Mark and I are doing great!! I can't imagine ever loving another man as much as I love him. He was, is and always will be God's plan for my life. I praise the Lord daily for the love of my blessed husband and I just keep falling more and more in love with the man of God, he's becoming....We will celebrate 10 years together, on August 6.....
In a week and a day, our pride and joy will be with us for the summer, once more!! We pick Mariah, just before 10 pm at Oakland Airport on Saturday June 5th. Mark's promised to take me to Bancheros for dinner, before we pick her up and I'm so very happy about that.....My baby girl is growing into a fine young lady!! She is not flesh of my flesh, not bone of my bone, but desire of my heart and I (sniff,sniff) praise God everyday for her. We talk via e-mail or (more frequently) by text message, every single day!! I never knew I could love her this much, but I do.....
Anyhoo, I am not doing anything exciting, this weekend!! Laundry!! Listening to Mark curse,trying to repair his car and church on Sunday. I just now remembered, it's a three day weekend!!! Great!!! More time for Mark to fix my honey do's!! More time for Mark to get some rest!! That's what's important!! Well, I guess I should actually try and get something constructive done today......Love each other as He loves and I'll talk to ya soon!!
In Him,
Lisa
