hard to believe.

It's hard to believe that its barely going on 9 in the morning and I've already got three hours of work behind me.
This week has been a learning experience, to say the least. For those of you just checking in, Lezlie and Chris were in a head on collision 6 days ago. Liz was in a car accident in Jamacia three days ago.  I promise, I'm  not planning on getting into any accidents today. No thank you.

Lezlie and Chris are both home and resting. Family and friends have been in and out of  the house bringing food, conversation, and laughter. Laughter may not be the best medicine, since Chris has a bruise over his heart the size of Texas. Lezlie can laugh, just shy of killing her broken rib(s).  They both complain that they never get enough time together. No problems there, they'll be sharing the living room  lazy boy chairs for the next two weeks together. Watching them  has the potential to make one sick. The mush is so thick, mom  has to mop it off the floor twice a day.  Imagine two cripples, standing on crutches, bending only at the joints that are still working, trying to kiss, trying to hug. Kissy Kissy Smoochie Smoochie. Yes,  I had to leave the room..

Liz survived her accident just fine. She and the Jamacia team  are on their way home tonight. Grandparents are also on the way into town.  Kim  & Krista, two of the greatest girlfriends I could ever ask for, just made their way back to Florida yesterday. We had a great time this last week, despite the hospital visits, random  trips to walmart and the house. We hiked Amicalola on Friday and I can still feel every single one of those 425 steps, (the equivalent of 21 flights of stairs).  Saturday we truly hit the town (after a random  trip to the hospital and walmart). World of Coke was the coolest place ever. You never realized how brilliant Coca-Cola's marketing team  is, until you realize that 1.6 billion cokes are consumed everyday.  We hit up Atlantic Station for some good girl time shoe shopping. Flip Burger Boutique definitely ruled as the best burger (& atmosphere) in town. Sunday we met up with Charlie Dawes, an amazing leader and mentor friend from  Southeastern.  He spoke truth to our leadership team  and I truly appreciate him  taking time out of his schedule.  Sunday night (after more girlie shopping) we hit up the famous Stone Mountain Laser Show. If you haven't seen this one, it's not the best its ever been, but it's still a load of fun for $10.00.  The fireworks definitely make the show spectacular. It's like the fourth of July :) *wink*

This past week could have been a disaster. It could have been insanity, and though it was busy, it turned out to be a beautiful week.  The Lord was present in every moment. He sent me my girls to hold me up when I wanted to cry. He knew everything that was going to happen this last week and through it all, He's been holding us all in the palm  of His hands.

Continue to pray for healing for Lezlie and Chris, safety for the Jamacia team,, strength for Pastor Gabe & Tami, and increase for the church.  Oh, and I'm  sure mom  could use some prayers for rest and strength.

You are beautiful.
