Psalm 24
The King of Glory
A Psalm of David.

24:1 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, [1]
the world and those who dwell therein,
2 for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob. [2] Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah

Book of Common Prayer

The song above brings back many memories.....When I here many of Don Mclean's songs I think of my Dad. In his study listening to music and reading books.... I am taken back to the time after my Mom left my Dad and visiting my Dad and brothers during the summer or Christmas. Both joy and sorrow penetrates me as I listen. Good thoughts of my Dad and Gods goodness in him. And then the pain of brokenness.

Recent visit from my Dad brought me back to the days back when....the ups and the downs...To now. My relationship with my Dad the back and forth blame of the divorce going on within me through the years. Then our beliefs and different realizations. It is OK if I don't see everything in the manner that he sees them. It doesn't make him or I any worse of a person. We all (children of God) have our journeys that we travel different roads take us different places and God can actually be guiding us different direction but yet together with a common goal. My Dad is such a beautiful person, As an adult it use to pain me if I found that I viewed things different or if he found he viewed something differn't than I. I am learning to let go of that and continue to travel as well as continue to learn from him in so many ways. Also learning to listen to God soft voice in where he would have me go on this journey we call life with my children as a mother and wife as well as child of God. Yes the voice is soft many things of this world crowds it out....Where Lord would you have me go today??

Today I feel as though I am in a Crossroads. Choices, which way to go?? Do I continue to home school my children or not. Where do I go with carrier and home life?? What is the best for my children?? What should I do?? Can I do it?? I believe God is putting a lot of things in my life to help show me the way as well as give me the strength. Much uncertainty right now, taking one step at a time. One goal for sure for me right now is to get my house in order, me in order (seek God in all things) and my household. Get organized, de-clutter, get in better routines and help the children do the same. By this summer I intend to have much of that accomplished...And maybe by then or before then I will know what road to take on different things. Hope you will join me as I travel and may we travel together where ever that road takes me or you.

Thanks for stopping by R road we travel!

When my little man was much younger I introduce the potty to him I wasn't in a hurry since he wasn't that old. He was taking to it pretty well but then as life happened I stopped encouraging it and he was on the diaper 24/7. His 3rd birthday just recently came around. That is what I decided to wait on since we had issue about his health to focus on. Anyway here we are at potty training. He was not to happy about the whole idea and I new this was going to be tough, Potty training Yipee :) He did finally give it a try and said the potty is scary. LOL So I decided to get him a new special potty for him to use. He gave that a try and said it won't work, nothing happened LOL.

Now my creative juices started flowing I got to get this guy excited about the potty he wasn't wanting to try anymore. Since he loves cars I told him he would get cars if he would go potty. He was really excited about that so he kept giving it a try and guess what it worked, tinkles and poo, poo's!! Now it was a tiny bit and he would sit and get back up and sit again. Then I ran into a promblem I can't possible give him a car every time. So now I give him tickets 1 when he trys 2 when he goes tinkle and 3 when he poo poo's. Then he trades in so many ticket for a toy car. We are on our way to a well trained pottier :) Yippee, Happy dance,Happy dance!!

Wow how much more could we reach others with the gospel if we Christians stop pointing fingers at each other and start pointing at truth only, the light our savior Jesus Christ? To just allow the Love of Christ move us and through us. The rest would follow the deeper things would be revealed in Gods time by the Holy Spirit. Lets speak the word and let God breath the word!! Let us unite with all our differences by the love of Christ for the love of Christ and reach the nations even if only by our daily walk. We are all on a journey let us journey together even if we are at different place in our walk. United we stand other wise we fall.........May we bring glory to God as we walk in His Love Amen.

Today we took our 16 yr old and 2 yr old boys to their endocrine check up. The little man was in such a good mood. I thought after Monday he may not want to go to the doctor. Since lately the insulin shots have been something he has tried to avoid all the more. I think he is beginning to wonder hey why am I going with this, Protest! Anyway I have been asking my soon to be 3 year old if he would like to use a pump like his big brother? He seemed excited about that. I told him we would talk to the doctor about it. Maybe that brought some excitement about the Dr. visit. He did mention the pump a couple of times. I did mention it to the doctor and will soon be talking to the diabetes educators. Anyway he read books while we were waiting and really didn't complain the whole visit. Check up went OK. Their A1C diffidently need some work. My teenager as well as I really need to stay on top of the BG checks really need to do that more often. More changes will need to be made. My teenager had some blood work done to keep track of his Addisons disease and Hashimotos and make sure he is getting the right dosages as well as watch for any other things that might pop up. I did ask the doc if she could see if results from labs in the GI department came back yet. She said they did but since she didn't specialize as GI she wouldn't know what it all meant. She did say that both boys result showed allergens or something. Not sure what that means. So we still wait for results to see if they have celiac disease.

Monday 2 of my boys 16 year old and soon to be 3 yr old, had biopsy done of their small intestine to see if they have celiac disease. They went through the mouth and down the throat took pictures and took 6 pieces of the intestines. Its considered a day surgery. The procedures for both of them went very well. No complications. At Children Medical center in Plano they were very nice and took well care of them. They explained to my 16 year old all that they were going to do and made sure he felt comfortable. They did all they could do to prepare my toddler and help him not be afraid. They even gave his Mickey somethings they would do to him while he was awake. Since he has a hard time parting from me they allowed me to go with him and stay with him until he fell asleep. I was glad my husband was able to be there so he was able to stay with my 16 year old while getting IV while I was with little man. They finished with him pretty quick. While they were trying to put an IV in my 16 year old before they were even done with that they were done with my little man. They had to give my 16 year old cortisone through IV because he also has Addisons disease. So when are adrenaline is pumping extra during surgery his is not so he has to have something extra to replace that. He take cortef pills at home and needed it through the IV for the procedure. Both boys also have T1 diabetes so they had to keep close watch of their BG. They also gave them both IV to keep fluids in them to make sure they did not get dehydrated. I held my little guy when he woke up and waited for his brother to come in. They both had water and Popsicle to get fluids in them and help with sore throat. After they saw that they were able to keep fluids in them without getting sick we were able to go home. Oh I forgot right after the procedure was done with each of them the doctor showed us some pictures that he took of the small intestine. There was three or four pictures of the intestine taken from each child. My little man had one picture that appeared to have some damaged tissue and possible ulcer. Ulcers are sometimes due to Chron's disease. My 16 year olds look really damaged and seemed to have odd color but the color could be due to his meds that he has to take. The doctor said you really can't tell from the picture to be sure we would need to wait for the results from the lab. The pictures at time can be hard to really tell. Like what appears to be ulcer may not. He said that we would get results as late as a week but could get them before then. He said typically you get results before then. It is Wednesday and we continue to wait........we pray that they do not have an added thing to their already full plate. My 16 year old has three autoimmune diseases (Addisons disease, Type 1 diabetes and hashimoto's disease already and my toddler has Type 1 diabetes.) Oh how I love my children and wish I could carry their burdens!!!!

This song just says it all for me....I really can see the new day coming and it is going to be a beautiful one!!! Everything is going to be alright!!
