Laughter is good for the soul!!!

Can't believe how fast this week went yet in other ways seemed long.

From what we've heard, this week was supposed to be Spring Break.....so we did what any awesome homeschooling parent would do...... We took them out on our way home from an appointment!!!

~Multitasking~ people, at its finest!!

Thankfully it was a huge success, memories were made & had a blast!

First let me refresh your memory... anything we do, it always has a story to go with it.. That's just the way we do!!!!!!!!!

We stopped for dinner@one of our favorite mexican resturants.. The place was not busy at all upon our arrival.

We ate, talked, laughed, and laughed&decided we should hurry(we had another stop to make)

So we finish eating dinner and are preparing our belongings for take off, without noticing the dinner rush had "arrived" (we were seated in the far rear corner booth)
So off we went single file through the maze of tables&people TRYING to get out.....
After backing up&trying several different aisles (that were blocked by pleasantly rounded people stuffing chips down faster than angry birds on crack sipping cocktails) we spotted an opening&made a mad dash towards it.
I felt like we were dancing with the stars, except we don't dance&last I checked a few stars short of insanity!
I noticed a gentleman had his elbow sticking out from his booth&without missing a beat I twirled to the right, to minimize contact with the frontal area of my person..........
ALL the while muttering........
"excuse me, oops so sorry, oh dear didn't see that, pardon us"
Anyway, after a VERY akward brush of one said stranger on my lower hip, I made it!!!! YES!!!!
Yet as I turn to watch&laugh at my dear husband&darling girls, they were instead laughing at me&pushing one another to get OUT&make a run for the boarder!!!
With a look of puzzlement I asked what was so funny(apart from the scene we must of been winding around people trying to eat, and doing it rather quickly at that)

We all made it outside&with bursts of hystericals, they proceed to fill in the blanks.

So the dude with the elbow in the wrong place at the wrong time, ended up getting smacked up the right side of his body, including his face&back of his head......
BY MY HAIR!!!!!!!

I didn't even feel it, had no clue!!
I guess the women he was with got a good chuckle at that as well.
So we got a good laugh out of that one on the drive home.
All that twirling must of got my hair going &that last twirl trying to miss his arm ended up doing awhole lot more!!
Steve said he looked dazed&confused&jumped&started looking around for what hit him.
He had been in the middle of trying to describe something to these women&lost his train of thought!!

Never a dull moment with the Wiseman family!!

Guess the activity of the day was a bit much for me....

So thankful Jesus has been near..
It's been a rough week, but God has been so good&His mercy endures forever!

Praying we can make it to church tomorrow.. There is a church dinner after the AM service.

Hope everyone had a great week&weekend,
have a Blessed Lords Day!!

Update on my Cardiologist Visit

Yesterday( Tuesday)  we went to see my Cardiologist!!     
I really wish we could see him under different circumstances.. lol...   
He spent an hour in the room talking with Steve and I about my options, meds, and so on so forth. 

He ABSOLUTELY wants me on the 200mg's of my main med, and added in a 2nd med of 120mg's to take in combination with the 1st.
 Because my case is so complex ( imagine that.. me complex? ha) We do not have a clear course of action in any one direction without a road block of some kind. 

For the first time since I have been under his care, he was VERY perplexed, and usually he is VERY confident.
He is working together with what the Neurologist, hematologist, electrophysiologist, and whoever else has come in on my case ( lost track at this point) 

So the short version goes something like this, from the human stand point


             BUT GOD
 has the FINAL say!!!!!

I will not live much longer with this heart rate doing what it is doing 24/7 without something MAJOR and life threatening taking place.  If these medications do not start controlling my heart rate better, I will have another heart attack. 
My heart can not take much longer of this.... I told him I felt it, I am exhausted, worn out, and it hurts.. 
So if I were to have another heart attack, or they go in and burn out the rest of the nodes in my heart, I would need a heart transplant. 

He wants to do a T?? test ( go down my throat with a scope) to check for a hole in my heart they may have missed. 
Even if that is the case, at this point, closing that would still not fix the electrical issues. 

I know people are praying, I SO , WE sSOSOSOSO appreciate them!!! 
Without them, it would sure be a lonely road. God is so good!!

I have taken a little bit of time to get the details out there, for a chance for us as a family to process this, pray it through, and just spend some time.....

We need Gods direction, discernment, wisdom, and strength. He has been and will continue to be that for us.. I DO NOT DOUBT..

Around 2am Wed morning, as we were finishing up our family alter time, Steve got an email from a daily devotional he gets. WITHOUT a DOUBT, Steve KNEW it was a direct answer to prayer, and another PROMISE to stand on. It is found in Matthew 21:22

God has a purpose, and a plan for all of this. It has drawn our family closer to HIM and each other even more. He has shown mercy and grace so many times, and HIS strength, and HIS peace that passes our understanding. 
My personality is a problem solver type, get to the point, there is always an answer, and move on.
This has NOT been one of those situations, and I thank the Lord for this teaching trial, this purifying trial.. 
I never thought back in the day as a back slider, that God loved me in such a personal and intimate way, and to experience HIS presence, and the pressure of HIS mighty hand over my life and heart, is more than I can put into words. 
It has shown me exactly how weak I really am, and without HIM I am just a speck of dirt, but with HIM, I am loved, and cherished, and a changed life. 

Below is the devotional Steve received ( by the way, it came at a time it usually does not come, and was not the theme expected) 


 

Answered Prayer By Paul Chappell

Wednesday,Mar7,2012

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22 While crossing the Atlantic on an ocean liner, the preacher F.B. Meyer was asked to address the first class passengers about "Answered Prayer." Later, an agnostic man was asked by his friends, "What did you think of Dr. Meyer's sermon?" He answered, "I didn't believe a word of it." That afternoon Meyer went to speak to the fourth class passengers. Many of those who had heard him in the morning went to the afternoon service as well. Even the agnostic went to the second service, claiming he just wanted to hear "what the babbler had to say." On his way to the service, the agnostic put two oranges in his pocket. He passed an elderly woman sitting in her deck chair fast asleep with her hands open. In the spirit of fun, the agnostic put the two oranges in her outstretched palms. After the meeting, he saw the old lady happily eating one of the pieces of fruit. "You seem to be enjoying that orange," he remarked with a smile. "Yes, sir," she replied, "My Father is very good to me. I have been seasick for days. I was asking God somehow to send me an orange. I suppose I fell asleep while I was praying. When I awoke, I found He had not only sent me one orange but two!" The agnostic was speechless. Later he was converted to Christ. How long has it been since God has answered a specific prayer request for you? God desires to meet our needs and show His power by answering our prayers, but so often we forfeit this blessing because we neglect our communication with God. Perhaps your hectic schedule has crowded out your daily prayer time. If so, it's time to make prayer a priority again. Your faith will become stronger and your walk with God closer as you see God answer your personal prayers. Today's Rooted Principle:  Daily ask God for specific requests to experience the blessings of answered prayers.

Well, I sit here on the couch waiting for the mud mask on my face to dry!!
Hubby just got home, and praying we make it to church in the AM....
Been a busy week, but Jesus helped us!!
K- is officially registered to graduate, registered our family for the home school convention, and girls registered to participate in Generation Joshua's IElect program during the home school convention.
Now to get her pictures done! Trusting Jesus to help us with that.

Didn't make Sunday AM service, but did make it for the PM service, and GOD showed up and gave the encouragement that was needed and Bro.Daniel preached a very good message.
I do not want ANYTHING down here to hinder me from making it to Heaven!!!
Thank the Lord for this good old fashioned way!!!

Go to the DR Tuesday... Not overly thrilled about it... praying that Jesus gives wisdom, and strength!! and I know HE will!!!
