Sirens and other thoughts ...

Ok, this one is long and random ...

Last night while I was upstairs in Gracie Lou's room, I looked outside and noticed how dark and scary the sky looked ... not the entire sky, but just to the North West ... I was walking out to my car on the phone with my Ma and she asked if I could hear the sirens ... Sure enough, I did.

Tornado sirens.

I decided going out wouldn't be the smartest choice and I went back into the house. I had the weirdest feeling in my tummy though, listening to those sirens ... then the National Weather Alert thing came on the T.V. too. I looked at my family, sitting together at the table eating cake for Caloy's birthday without a care in the world ... when outside the warning signs were clear.

The storm passed and nothing came of it, but it was such a weird feeling.

Certainly different than growing up in CA with earthquakes ... they would just happen, no warning signs, no sirens ... just shaking and rolling ... sometimes I would get up and make it to the doorway and other times I would just think, oh, another earthquake ... and continue on ...

Weird.

Things we can not control, which really is most of life. Yes, earthquakes and "tormados" (as Matthew says) are things that I can do nothing about ... but all in all, besides the silly choices I make moment to moment, what else do you do when you hear the sirens? Be with my family, stay safe and pray.

I have 6 days left of Y Camp ... 6 days ... 6 ...

I got to meet with Nancy today. I love meeting with Nancy. I am so thankful to know her, to be in her presence, to hear her affirmations and to share with her the deepest parts of my soul. I love Nancy. I am doing some great work with her. Today she brought up past relationships ... and as much as I laugh them off or think, whew, that was a bad choice ... they were all significant in one way or another. I have grown so much and for that I am so filled with gratitude. I am praying that with our new insurance from Caloy's job that I will be able to see her more ... Really though, I would pay her double what we pay her now, she is amazing, Heaven sent and just what God wants for me at this exact moment. Thank you Lord for Nancy.

My in-laws are coming tomorrow ... short and sweet visit, I'll put a smile on my face for my husband and I will go with the flow. They are just here for the weekend. Certainly, distance has made this relationship easier ... better? Hmmm ... easier ... yes.

I love America's Next Best Dance Crew on Mtv. I love dancing, watching dancing ... and this week it is all about the 80's ... really, could anything be better? I love the 80's music ... the dancing is awesome. I love dancing.

I have 6 days left of Y Camp ... did I say that already?

Tornado warnings, time with Nancy, in-laws on their way, dancing and 80's music ... Random thoughts but such is life.
