a tree

waveland is challenging me right now. andy is sick, i'm getting over a cold, kate has a rash and she is starting to get sick. i called in a prescription for her tonight, and after 2 hours i went to pick it up. they laughed at me, like, how could you think it could be ready after 2 hours. it's going to be 4 hours. so i'll get it tomorrow. my poor kate. i was so mad at them. i waited in line for 45 minutes. and to come home with nothing to help my poor baby.
andy has been sick at home all day. it's so sad. he has a sore throat, cough, congestion. i'm glad he's home but i want him to feel better.
i've been working on kate's 1st bday party. it should be fun for her.
i've been pretty sad about things down here today. you drive around, and there's chaos everywhere. nothing works. everything is slow. there's a concrete truck in the middle of the street you are trying to navigate-you just have to wait until they are done. dirt, fema trailers everywhere. sadness. brokennness. you drive down the middle of the street-dodge the piece of metal that fell off the truck in front of you. dodge the big pothole that was made. dodge the other potholes that can tear up your car. dodge the debris.
i took rosie to the vet today-he was so surprised at the fact that she did not have heartworms. they treated her for fleas, so she's good to go to become a wonderful inside dog. she's so tame. i'm glad we got her back.
lagniappe church is hurting. we need prayer. we need encouragement. we need money. we need your thoughts.
i love living down here. it's not easy. i have no friends my age. no new babies for kate to play with. i need that.
i miss having a normal life in louisville. i miss my junior auxillary meetings, the normallness of life there. i miss the predictablily of life. here, things are so different every day.
i need your encouragement and prayer. kate is so happy although she is sick. please pray for her little sickness. she is so sweet and such an encouragement.
God is good to me. how can i repay Him? i am a bare tree. i have nothing. my hope is in Him and that He will sustain me and provide for us. He always does and is always so good and will bring me the encouragement i need very soon.
