The views are spectacular
They say the light comes at the end of the tunnel or the rewards come after the trial but in this case it was the views that came after the climb were worth every aching limb afterwards. My sister Bonnie, my friend Mary and I backpacked in to Summitt Lake last week and despite the bugs I enjoyed every moment I had to myself. It truly was inspiring and thought provoking. Self renewing and breathless- not just because of the hiking and extra physical exertion. Take a look...
A band-aid can't fix this
well- it was bound to happen since the summer has been relatively injury and sickness free. Nicholas was climbing the fence- when he shouldn't have been and because Xander had been- he couldn't get down and called for me- I didn't hear. So he tried it on his own.... Here are the results
Nicholas holding pressure on his owie!
Mommy keeping him company
Not for the faint hearted and weak stomachs
10 stitches later
He came into the house holding his hand and I was puzzled as to what had happened. While Xander is trying to explain, I ran to the sink to wash it off...I immediately saw that I did not have the medical capabilities for this "owie"! I told the kids to get my purse we were going to he dr. Natalee instantly telling Nicholas that stitches tickle..."the first shot hurts, but after that the rest tickle." I am not thinking clearly and realize I need to get things under control. we get in the car and i take a deep breath and announce we are going to say a prayer. Everything calmed down and i was thinking clearly. I realized the other kids didn't need to go to the ER so I called a friend. She took the kids and we were off and back home 4 hours later. But the rest of the story I found out on Sunday. She tells me tha, when I called, she had friends over that normally keep her from answering the phone but she felt a prompting that she needed to answer the phone. She was an answer to my prayer and another testimony that my Heavenly Father knows me and my needs as an individual. He is truly watching over me and will answer my prayers.
