Sweet sisters... thank you so much for praying for my family this week. I can't share any details of where we'll be today, but just know that we'll be relying on your prayers big time.
We'll be sharing our family story with a large audience.
Eventually, I will be able to tell you all the details and invite you into the craziness called my life. But I suspect if you've been reading here anytime at all, you are well aware of the 75 shades of crazy that dot the scenery of the TerKeurst family.
Anyhow...
Here are just a few random things that have helped distract my otherwise wacky week:
1. We took Mark to Red Lobster for his birthday this week. Y'all do you know what sits front and center of the lobby where you have to wait for a table? A very large tank full of live lobsters. Something was a bit unsettling about that for me.
It is not fun having those things staring at you with little black eyes pleading.
I could not eat the lobster y'all.
Therefore, I had to partake in Satan's plan to wreck every diet there ever was--- the deliciousness known as the Red Lobster garlic biscuit. No little block of pure fat has ever tasted so yummy.
2. Some birds have built a nest under our back deck. Our dogs have just about dug a hold through the wood trying to get to them. Yesterday, Brooke was convinced that she heard chirping mixed in with the barking and became very concerned.
Something about how boy birds sing so their favorite girl birds can find them. She was afraid the birds under the deck would be so upset trying to sing over the barking dogs that they'd lose their voices--- thus making them unable to sing their love home.
I'm not so sure how much of this is correct bird knowledge.
But I do wish that God would have hard wired man cubs to sing their love home. Something about this just makes my heart flutter y'all.
3. He is Risen. And for that I will be eternally grateful. The theme of my heart this week has been "No Compromises." None. Don't even flirt with slight compromises. This one thought has empowered my heart to draw some hard lines this week.
And to avoid any future trips to the place that serves those biscuits that proved too much for my best intentions.
