Road trip

We are blessed enough to have a husband and father who loves his family so much that he just had to have them come with him on business to the Washington DC area. We took off Saturday morning on our fourteen hour trip. Day one was eventful and stressful rolled into one. Titus does not like to travel and he really doesn't like his car seat and I mean REALLY. We pretty much knew he would be a bear on the trip since our road trip to Texas was almost the same distance as the one we were going on. He proved us right and then some. He is quite the determined guy screaming for two to three hours at a time in between a biter biscuit or two. Or three. Let's just traveling with Titus is enough to make anyone go mad.

And then there was this.



Oh no not us. Our car was blocked by the Ambulance. Some man eating either passed out and hit his head or cut himself or both. We got several stories. It was a man in his later years out to a meal with his wife and grown Son. We used this as an opportunity to teach the kids about prayer and we stopped to pray for him while we sat on the front porch of the Cracker Barrel we were eating our lunch at.


we passed the time by posing for pictures. You can never have enough pictures!

Bedridden

This weekend has not gone as planned AT ALL! Friday morning my back went out and it went out good. It was the worst pain I've had EVER. I could barely walk and when I did walk I was literally screaming in pain. Thankfully I was able to get to the Chiropractor and start treatments. Praise the Lord for Chiropractors!  The whole back issue has reminded me of Paul and his thorn in his flesh. My back has been an issue since I fell down the stairs in college. The Emergency room diagnosed it as a sprain but years later I would find out that I had fractured a vertebrae and it had healed improperly. Not only that but the trauma to my spine and pregnancy had caused a herniated disc in my lumbar region. Talk about ouch!

So I've been in bed this weekend, well actually on the sofa trying to heal up so I can enjoy life again. I have a new found desire to get in shape and get these muscles stronger. Just the motivation I needed. I hope you are doing well but if you are struggling can I encourage you to spur on. Easier said than done I know. Can I lift you up to the Father? There is nothing I like more than to be down and praying so if you feel led to leave a request I will pray for you. Eyes on the prize! Keep running the race!
