| "So I was thinking as I was driving my stool sample to the doctor today..."
I was having a serious thought with God in the car. But when I came home to share that deep thought with my sweet friend and that was my opening line, well the hilariousness of it all erased any deepness that I was about it impart.

| Coherent moments don't come often when you have the flu. I've been sick since Tues. I thought today would be the day. The day that I could break free & run outside my front door. But alas, if you want to find me you'll have to come find me on my couch.
I laid awake from 3-6 am Wednesday morning. I was so sick yet could not sleep. I prayed. I thought. I attempted sleep. I found a peace in the dark hours of 4:30am. There was nothing else to do but lay there and talk with "my man". It was so calming I thought "I should get up from 4-5am more often" Why do I doubt so quickly? That is what I asked myself over & over. It's funny how analytical I can be because the personality charts say I shouldn't be. God answered some of my prayers from that night this morning in an email! He swooped down & surprised me from all sides. I am grateful! If I didn't feel so icky I would go out into my garden & do a dance of joy.
Now if He would just swoop down & clean my apartment... |

| Pictionary- that's a great youth group game, one would think. Well that's until you include an American who is not versed in the animals in her new country. Pictionary with the youth group could not have gone anymore awkward. I pulled the card that read "blue tit". I did NOT know that a blue tit is a bird common in Ireland. Yes I drew something else... |

| I’m starting a club called “Little toes of faith”. Only your little toe has faith for you cause sometimes that’s all ya got. Your faith is running low but you haven’t lost hope. We will make comfy sweatshirts 2 wear. Sweatshirts will be made with chocolate woven 2gether by the carbohydate of your choice! Memebers come & go from the group as needed-depending on life circumstances.
It’s one of those weeks where I wonder if I have enough faith. It’s been one of those weeks where things started going wrong on Sunday & then Tuesday when I re-gained perspective & thought myself “better” another thing slammed down. Then this morning (Thursday) yet another blow! So I’ve been thinking. I’m thinking about needing to be surrounded by friends sharing the burden. I’ve been thinking about how we need to pray each other through things. Can some one else have faith for us when we are lacking?
Trusting is hard. I think that we think we have to feel a certain way if we are "trusting correctly". Or at least I do. But I don't think that's right. Sometimes the only thing that has the strength to trust is our little toe and the rest of our bodies are screaming out. I think that is okay. I think that it is honest and mustard seed obedience...I don't think He expects more at those moments. So this week my little toe is trusting as to let the rest of me scream out my struggles.
