Samuel is doing fantastic! Healing really well and quickly too. We went to the Cardiologist last Thursday (September 15th) and he said that everything looked great, no fluid around his heart or swelling. Samuel was also up to 13lbs 4oz...I couldn't believe it! He really has changed a lot sense his surgery, it's amazing! He's more energetic for sure, but thankfully not in a bad way. He's eating and sleeping really well, he took 8oz for the first time in his life this morning...Praise the Lord! It's funny to watch Samuel do things that he's never really done before and be more active than I've ever seen him. It's such a joy to watch him grow and develop. The Lord is so good!
The house is coming along nicely...we've had a few issues arise sense moving in. The laundry room had a leak that Scott fixed, but not before mold decided to grow in between the drywall and soak the wood. So, the laundry room is out of order at the moment due to repair and deconstruction...haha We also had a few things like the garbage disposal and dishwasher that need repair. So, for me the house is lovely but also kinda a pain in the butt, the joys of home ownership. haha I told Scott that if we ever move again, many many many years from now that we are building so I know I won't have to do anything for awhile.haha
But all in all things are coming along nicely. We've painted the master and guest bedrooms as well as the hall bathroom and part of the hall and everything really feels more like home. We still have a lot of work to do, but I'm really enjoying making this house our home...it's easier being in a ranch style, no stairs. :)
I'll try and add pictures somehow in a different post, I'll check with my computer savie husband to see the best way of going about it. :) So check back soon to see if I have them up yet.
Nona, my mom, was here for a visit. She arrived Sunday and left again on Wednesday. A short visit but it was so wonderful to see her and have her help unpacking some boxes and to love on Samuel when I was occupied with a large task. Samuel really enjoyed his visit with Nona and is looking forward to our Thanksgiving visit down to Georgia when we can see everyone and show them how big we are getting.
It's been brought to my attention recently, thanks to my amazing mom the truth that we cling to the Lord more in the tough times than in the everyday mundane. How true this is, especially for me. I find that the hardest times to cling to the Lord are when I get frustrated or upset with my amazing husband or Mr. Samuel. Lord, teach me to cling to you even in the mundane! I've also been finding it hard to make the Lord a priority in my life, making time in my day to just fellowship, abide and just fall more in love with my Savior. I do desire to grow and learn but am so easily distracted by the things that need to get done in the home and unfortunately Facebook. I need to make time in my day somewhere so please be praying for me to use my time wisely and to the glory of God.
I'm looking forward to being back in church this week, I've missed fellowshiping with our brothers and sisters at Sojourn.
I pray everyone is well and that the Lord is working in your life in amazing ways, even if you can't see it yet.
Love to all!
