Aj informed me today that when she feels better she was going to read this to keep up with what all has happened while she was "out of it"...Yikes! I better be on my best behavior! She has been a super star today. She took her first outing since I have been here to the Deer Park famous Morning Kaloches (spelling). We drove through the drive thru...but mainly because I was in my PJ's. But, she did great. She has ate better today but slept more as well. Maybe the two things she needs the most.
I got to be on "babysitting" duty while she slept most of this afternoon so me and the Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech had a date...to which turned out with a great win making Tech 7-0!
Once Mom and Bailey got back and Bobby was back home Mom and I took Bailey out for lunch. It was a great girls day. The only thing that would have made it better would to have had my KK here. I miss my kids so much but, my heart is here right now. Thinking about leaving Aj on Monday leaves me a little teary eyed every time I think about it.
Tonight I got to meet one of Aj's sweet, sweet friends. She came and hung out with us while we watched a movie. She has been a wonderful blessing to Aj and her family! I am so thankful that God goes before us in every situation to make sure we are taken care of!
Things to pray for ---
- Aj's church family is having a hat and scarf party for her tomorrow. Please pray that she will have the energy to go and be a part of this sweet thing they are doing for her. Or that she will have a peace to know it is too much and she needs to miss out on it at this time.
- Pray the rest will keep coming. She is getting good rest at night. The best part of her day is in the mornings and each morning is lasting longer and longer. So, I think that is a move in the right direction.
- Her stomach is still giving her some issues as far as pain and such. Please pray this will cease!
- And selfishly...Pray for me that I will have a peace about leaving her. I hate the distance. I hate the thought of not being here to hang out on her couch, wait on her hand and foot, rub her feet with lotion...just being with her. But, I am ready to see my sweet hubby at home and my two wonderful kiddos!
God, we know you are preparing great things for Aj and her family. We know you are already working in her body to heal her from this ugly virus she has and the cancer. But, God tonight I come to you asking you for her strength and endurance. Please restore those things in her tonight. Be with her and Bobby as they rest tonight. Help them to not only sleep well but to get the rest they need. Be with Bailey as she adjust to this change in her families lives. Mom is here to help please show her the ways she can be the most useful but help her to find rest in you as well. Father, we thank you for the wonderful things you have already done and we thank you for all that you are going to do. Thank you for blessing us and for sending your Son Jesus. Amen!

Now it's Sunday.
This is the day.
This is the day that the Lord hath made, that the Lord hath made.
I will rejoice.
I will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it.

Father, we rejoice in all the things You have done, are doing, and will do in the life of AJ and her family. Father, today we pray that if it would be Your will AJ will be able to attend the hat and scarf party her church family is having for her because they love her and want to express that love to her. Father, please be with Katie as she is already anticipating the sadness of her departure tomorrow, but also the gladness of being with her hubby and children again. Please provide travel mercies. Father, please be with Sharon as she stays for awhile to assist in any way she can. Give her wisdom and compassion as she cares for AJ and family. Give her rest and strength both physically and spiritually as well. May today be a day of resting in You. Thank You. Amen!!!!
