...bloopers and Praises :)

...looking forward to getting to see my mother for a week, my beautiful daughter and I made our way to the airport on Friday... just to realize that between my almost 75 year old father, his travel agent in Germany, who only reluctantly uses modern technology ( as in emailing me :O ) and me on the other side of the pond.... our departure date had been changed ..  ultimately my fault, I should have checked the dates when I finally got emailed my eticket....
so back home we went.. stopped by Michaels to buy some scrapbooking things for the album we want to make for my Mom of this trip, had a bite to eat....
this is where the second blooper happened... took my wallet out of my "packed for travel" purse, that, with my suitcase, stayed in the car... long story short, a dear friend of mine kindly took us to the airport and lo and behold... my wallet didn't make it... still in my car, in my garage.... great...
thanks to modern technology and my daughter's wallet in her possession I transferred some money into her account,  thanks to "RBC app for my iPhone :)"
feeling yucky fighting a head cold, I had asked for prayer, knowing that my poor mother, being on Chemotherapy can't really have a sickie around...

arrived safely, had only dosed off here and there for a little nap all night, or what remains of your night, when you lose 6 hours traveling east... only to have to drive the 220 km to the final destination...
did that too, arrived safely again.....
head cold much better to pretty much gone, thanks to the One who hears our prayers.. I had some cool conversations with my mother again... so thankful for the fact that she really is getting it now... seeing and understanding things, so obviously a result of the Holy Spirit in her... Hallelujah...

since I left on Saturday evening I have been listening to "The Promise" one of the songs we sang with Michael W Smith at Carnegie Hall.. on repeat obviously... over and over and over again..
I have been in bed, wide awake after a 3 hour sleep, it is 1:45 am here right now... WORSHIPPING my Jesus, oh How I Love Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fear not

Oh, Israel

For there is peace

Still to come

A word to break

The silence

A promise

Set to bloom

The promise

To redeem us

One to free us

Break this silence

In the violence

In our lives

Emmanuel is sure

To find us soon

The mighty rule

To Jesse's

Star of truth

And bring us

Unto glory

Tell His story

Heal the broken

And restore

Thee to His name

The star

Will guide us

To the humble place

Where Christ

The King

Reveals

His earthly face

And we

Will see Emmanuel

God is with us

God is for us

God is in us

We will see

We're

Singing Hallelujah

We're

Singing Hallelujah

Emmanuel

Our God is with us
