The Weekend in Michigan

Good evening, Friday after work I picked up my nephew and then my parents. We went to Michigan so my parents could go visit my grandma's grave with her siblings. I took Alex and Anthony to the lake and we walked the pier to the lighthouse. They were able to play on the beach as well at the park. God gave us a good day, not too hot or cold. Most of the day I had a headache because Thursday and Friday night I only had 3 hours each night of sleep. By evening it had grown to a migraine. I did drive home and thank God I had my dad to help me drive safely. The headlights from cars bothered me and Anthony was having a spiritual welfare. We found out he couldn't sleep because his mom and aunt took him to go see the movie angels and demons (R) and he was scared the demons was going to get him. We told him to praise God and defeat the enemy by talking to God and praying in Jesus Name so he did. Matter of fact very loudly and in high pitch. Mom and I felt it was necessary to not stop him. Before this we stopped at a Perkins in Grand Rapids and my cousin Sue and husband changed their plans and met with us there. I was able to talk to them but felt like I couldn't say everything that disturbed me about some relatives on Chris' side and felt bad because I needed help on it and it seemed like I kept repeating myself on just one topic. I enjoyed seeing family and my Aunt Lois is looking good with her weightloss. Seeing Uncle Bill and Aunt Gerrie who hosted lunch was good too. Uncle Curtis and Aunt Dodie was there and surprised me with a great picture of my family from their wedding. I already have it hung up(not where it is going to stay though, I think it will go in my room). I didn't get to talk much with Pat but I enjoyed seeing her. I didn't eat lunch because I was not very hungry and was missing my better half. After lunch I helped clean and then walked to the lighthouse again with Aunt Arlona and Uncle Al. I wished we could've stayed longer but I had to work today 10am to 4. I got home last night at 12:30am and I slept. I woke up with my migraine still so I took my medication and it went away. Tonight I am at my moms and we had a cookout with friends and neighbors. It is such a great night. I am still waiting for God to reveal Himself and confirm my beliefs. Alex is showing off her new bible that Aunt Arlona won for her. She really enjoys it. I am so thankful to those who served and died for us to have freedom. I am thankful for family who are so very supportive and loving. I thank my friends for liking me for me and are there for me. I am thankful to my sister who understands my loneliness feeling and very sensitive to my feelings and needs. She has and is there for me. I thank my parents for there help with Alex and for post poning their remodel to help me do my bedroom. I am thankful for my extended family for their help and support emotionally and physically and helping with my room project as well. So overall this weekend was sweet. At the end of the cookout as we were saying goodbye to the friends and neighbors about a mile away was fireworks that we could see from mom and dads backyard. Good thing I chose to give my indy 500 tickets to his brother because it got rained out. So they will try to race tomorrow. Today was hard and had to call Alex around 2pm to just hear her voice. She sounded like she was having fun. I wrote her a note tonight and sent it to her email. Talking about God and her dad.

  1. The song "Hold Fast" by Mercy Me is very appropriate at a time like this. I am glad you were able to be out and about with the family. Sue is a great one to talk to. I have yet to meet someone with her listening skills and ability to support even when our opinions differ.
    We continue to pray for you! Enjoy your help! I am also praying your headache goes away!
