With the weather being predicted as an oncoming Blizzard last week, Tom decided to postpone the trip to Ann Arbor. We are now schedule to meet Dr. Worden on January 6. This appointment is at 1:00 so we should be able to manage the drive to and from in one day. We also decided to cancel all of Tom's other appointments and begin again in the new year. January may be a very busy month for my hubby. So for now we are concentrating on getting ready for the holidays. We still have major shopping to do and the kids only have 1 week left of school. This is going to be very tricky as our time becomes more limited.
The kids are excited about their upcoming parties at school and the thought of being off for 2 weeks! They have already been sledding most of last week and loving the cups of hot chocolate they are able to consume when they come back inside. Ready or not, I believe winter is here for a while.
My presentation on The Anatomy of Hope is behind me and I am glad to say that I did pretty good considering that I forgot my notes at home. Luckily I had my USB drive in my purse and was still able to present. Those of you who know me well should not be surprised that I forgot it (I have been known to leave suitcases behind :) I have one more class and then am looking forward to enjoying the holidays with our families.
I would like to share one other thought. Our church is studying the Psalms, you know I can't resist going to hear them! A few weeks ago our pastor was talking about Hope. He stated that it is very important where we go for hope. I agreed at the time, but as the days past those words really hit my heart. As in my presentation about Hope and the importance of having it....it is just as important of What you Hope and in Who. It truly does matter. It's almost like the commercial, "What's in your wallet?"
Psalms 25:15-19 "My eyes are ever looking to the Lord for help, for he alone can rescue me. Come, Lord, and show me your mercy, for I am helpless, overwhelmed, in deep distress; my problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! Se my sorrows; feel my pain, forgive my sins."
