Pray.

I've been distant this week because I've been at the hospital with my sweet, adorable, precious niece Lilly. She went to the doctors Tuesday because she was sick and they found fluid in her lungs and sent her to the hospital. Now she is in the ICU recovering from the surgery they did to remove the fluid from her lungs.
She is so strong because she was smiling when the doctor came in to check on her after surgery. My heart was melting. She didn't even flinch when the doctor put the IV in her arm. If it was me, I would not have been that cool.
She is so brave and Garth and I just adore her and love her to the moon. We love you, Lilly!
She is still recovering so please keep her in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it. Love!

Watching Over Us

So I'm the biggest wuss when it comes to scary movies. Not only can I not stand them, I also believe they are a waste of time. These horrific scenes go on in real life and you can watch it - it's called the news. There is so much violence and hate in the world, why do we need movies to emphasize this? But I especially can not handle watching movies where something bad happens to people at night. I don't know why this is but after "The Sixth Sense" I couldn't sleep. And then there was "Frequency" and I couldn't sleep after that.
Garth rented an action movie for us this past weekend and I was looking forward to relaxing after a busy weekend. The movie had a deadly robbery occur at night that left me sleepless Sunday night. Monday night I fell asleep from sheer exhaustion from the night before, but awoke in the middle of the night really scared. I started praying to God to give me peace and to keep me safe when Garth randomly put his arms around me. I felt so much safer and as I looked over at Garth, I saw he was still sound asleep. I fell back asleep quickly thanking God for watching over us.
