When it rains it pours

Wow these past few weeks have been really crazy. First with my dad getting his knee surgery and then all the times of him going to the hospital for the horrible pain he was going through. Jeff's cell phone rang early in the morning, we let it go to voice mail because we didn't recognize the number,it was my brother Brian, Jeff listened to the message. He scared me because he started out saying "Tiffany it's your dad, he's being air lifted to a hospital in phoenix", It was so shocking to hear, not my dad, my dad is superman and can't be hurt or in pain. That's just not how it's supposed to be .I of course started to cry and Jeff was trying to comfort me, I think what scared me the most is my Dad is not a complainer when he's in pain so I was thinking this has to be really bad if he's in that much pain.

They found out it was a kidney stone and it was blocking the passage way to the bladder, so it was getting backed up and causing horrible pain. Due to an idiot of an urologist, my dad was then taken care of by a wonderful urologist. I was talking to my Mom and I told her maybe that had to happen with the jerk so that my dad wouldn't have him as a permanent urologist and have to deal with his attitude and stupidity, and maybe they were meant all along to have that great urologist. I can imagine God having it all in his plan.
My dad is out of the hospital now thank goodness! They made a stint to bypass the passageway so that all that stuff would drain and in 3 or 4 weeks he'll have the kidney stone removed.

Prayer- This has been amazing lately for me, I was praying a lot when Jeff didn't have a job and asking for God to show us the right job for him, then it seemed like a couple days later is when he got the call. It was amazing, sometimes this job seems so good compared to the other jobs he has had that sometimes it seems to good to be true. Jeff really loves working there and he has NEVER loved a job this much.
Then I began praying for comforting about my Grandma's passing, for some reason it has been really saddening to me, I know it's because I want her here to talk to her and tell her the neat stuff that's happening in our lives. I really wanted to tell her about Jeff's new job and hear her excitement and her comforting words. So I began praying that God would give me comforting and then I went to the library last week and picked up a Max Lucado book, it was titled When Christ Comes. It was amazing how this book was perfect for me, it was so interesting to read about how heaven is and all that fun stuff. It also talked about how we shouldn't grieve so much about our loved one's passing if they are saved, that a farmer wouldn't mourn about planting seeds in his ground- so we shouldn't mourn our loved one's passing because they are going to go to heaven with a improved body and we will see them again. It went on to talk about how there's no pain in heaven and that made me think about how wonderful Grandma must feel, her toes and feet won't hurt, her back, her hearing will be awesome,she probably has a bright white smile, dancing around, doing stuff she hasn't done for along time. It's fun to think what her and Grandpa,Grandma Dickson and Uncle John.
Grandma probably would like some Taco bell or Boston market up there :)

I've also been praying about what to do about Dane when I start school, I really don't want to put him into daycare, I will miss him so much and will miss out on all the fun stuff, like him learning new words. I was praying that God would give me wisdom to know what to do, I went to go register for Tyler and came home looked at his school ours, he's all day till 2:20 and wed. he gets out at 11:15, my school goes till 2:30- mon -thur. I can't be 20 minutes late to pick up tyler from school. So I talked to Jeff and showed him and he said well maybe you can wait to go to school to Dane is a little older or in school. Later in the day I was thinking wow maybe that was God's answer to prayer, he knows how much I love being home with the kids. I'm really happy!
