Today I brought Alex out after church and saying goodbye to our servers at Carlos OKellys. We had a nice time and she didn't complain about knees in dashboard. I complained about the smell of her though, many times. Don't feed her beans and then travel. We had a lot of laughs once we got near Waterloo because as my mom would say I need a navigator device. We made it to Sarah's and Don's after using a half tank more than needed but if that is what it takes to have laughter with my daughter I am more than happy to do so.

Yesterday, was good and unpleasant. I got an unpleasant note in mail and I am praying for God's guidance in that as far as if I should meet with her. Mom and friends planned a going away/custody party for her grandkids and they had a nice time except a little episode with Anthony and mom feeling bad afterwards because I came across the wrong way. But, both of these issues got worked out. One of my family members also talked to me in a way that shocked me. It was uncalled for and I felt like this person was putting God in a box, if God does this then I will...

I am shocked that I am not feeling overwhelmed or much nervousness. I feel bad because I read that my cousin is. I can say that I can't wait for this to be done and we don't have to travel back and forth and work out when and how to move things. I appreciate all that they have done for me like setting up appts and schooling issues and looking into uhaul and even taking time from their projects to help. I can't thank them or my family enough for their help since Chris' death.

I am lucky to have a daughter who has a big bladder like I do. We only had to stop once to get gas and take a break. Which is usually at the Iowa 80 truck stop exit. It was so nice to ride with Alex but as she would say I am not safe to drive alone because I will get lost. But the both times I went wrong she has been with me. I traveled fine last time when it was just me. :) Looking forward to bike rides and walks with her and cousins and friends. Just a relaxing time after many days of packing and moving and driving.

I better get some sleep for tomorrow. I have to unpack my car and check mail and tour school with Alex and call phone company. Then head home to be at work early Tuesday.

Be praying for those who the enemy is after. I found out today that one of my prayer partners and a friend from church is struggling with Bi-polar and hearing things like Chris. I went up to see how she was doing and she said fine but I sensed differently so after a couple of are you sure she told me. I also found out earlier this week about my jeweler's step daughter having it as well. I prayed with my friend today and I am asking as God lays it on your heart to pray for these people that the enemy will be bound and that God's promises and voice will overcome the enemy's. Having lived through this with my husband I know that this is not a light matter. It is very real and takes a toll not only on the person but those around helping them get through the rock bottom of despair and voices. Pray that God will send many strong godly people to be their support and together conquer through.
