Clarification...

Ok...I got scolded for my last post. Apparently it was taken that I am putting all trust in man and not in God - The PERFECT HEALER. I did not intend for it to be that way. I know God can heal in the blink of an eye should he choose. I know God is aware of Stellan and his heart as well of each of us - even down to the number of hairs on our head. We don't know why this is happening to baby Stellan, but I do know that God has a reason. I also know that God uses people in their jobs to help each other - as in the case of baby Stellan and his doctors. God can give the doctors the wisdom to figure out how to treat this baby - should he choose. It's hard for our minds to understand how he could not choose to heal him immediately or even after all of this. But God does not make mistakes and His reason and purpose may not be for us to see on this side of heaven. Same for 9/11 as well as any other situations that we can't grasp. So please know that I believe and trust God and his plan for each of us, thought honestly I may not understand. If you want to get a personal perspective on this - take a look at Stellans Blog and use the button that says "search my blog" - I couldn't say it better when it comes to staying strong in your faith in the storm.

Now that the air is cleared on that...

Operation "get your room cleaned" worked. Saturday (after we went to the movies to see Monsters vs. Aliens) he cleaned his room. And it was a good clean too! By 8pm it had passed inspection! He even vacuumed it - well, not that he had a choice! So last night was his "all nighter" to stay up as late as he wants. I think he made it till almost 5am. Michael let him sleep until 11am so he would sleep tonight. Oh and he leveled his toon on Wow to 80 so he is all kinds of happy.

I decided that I love my Q-snap. It is wonderful for the right size project. It was silly of me to think about using my 8x8 for my big project (which still only has 12 stitches in it) - but I used it for my second bookmark and it worked perfect. My stitches look great! I'm going to finish it this week and get it in the mail! I'm nervous and excited at the same time!

I made cookies tonight - yes Tammy, chocolate chip ones and they were good! A guy at work shared his ultra top secret recipe (butter flavored Crisco) and I can actually make them! I packed a few in Michael lunch for tomorrow. And we had Spaghetti Pie for dinner, Andrew voted that he likes regular spaghetti better.

That is it for tonight. I've taken my leg medicine and off to bed I go!

May God above give us His peace in the storms of life. There is an awesome song out there that has a verse like this "Sometimes He calms the storm, sometimes He calms His child" - May God hold us close and give us His understanding on things...or at least enough light for the step we are on...
