He had been snoring that night and waking himself up every once in a while to say that he wasn’t really asleep and that he snores when he’s awake sometimes. Sandra came in bright and shiny telling about why she went in her room and how she fell asleep. She was overjoyed to find a hot spot and read something she was led out of the Bible after getting a picture of a reed waving in the wind. I’m a bit hazy on where she was when I woke up but at some point she started getting together some breakfast snacks. I enjoyed the fruit and bread but had been hoping for some a hearty meal of eggs and such… But who wants to cook a bunch after staying up most of the night? Others started to wake up. Julie had not gone to sleep at all and she shared about the tingling feeling she got in the extremities of her body. Uncomfortable and scary for her but her attitude has changed from a “This is really strange!” to “OK, God whatever you want to do” I prayed again for her to be able to press in. I’ve got to type up a list of prayer requests for my family. We ate and Julie wanted to go home. Brian had gone to church. Betsy got ready and eventually took Julie home. Mom and Dad went to church. Sandra took her girls to church, leaving a key for Kim and I if we left so we could lock the door from the outside. Kim and I slept until Brian came home. Then we continued to lie around. I think I woke up before her and was praying for her but she may have been awake at the time. Sandra came home with the girls and went to sleep. The girls played around and Brian asked them to stop playing their small keyboard while he rested on his chair. They climbed on me for a while; I told Kim I would need a back rub after that. (I had been wanting one the whole night and I found out later that she had been wanting to give me one the whole night but the time did not come until just before I left) After being “locked” in the girls room with the bored, clingy, Hanna, who just needed some love, I broke out of jail, went in the living room and sat down on the floor in front of the fireplace. I got my sketch kit together and tried to get something to draw. I figured if I drew, she’d settle down and draw some on her own. She marked my pad with a pencil which I wasn’t too happy about but she erased it when she saw me shake my head and I drew a young lady with her hands held out down to a child off the page. Then I drew butterfly wings on her in the rest of the page’s space. Hanna all the while kept asking me what I was drawing. Eventually she got some paper of her own and drew several drawings placing each one on top of my paper as I was trying to draw. I set each one aside and continued to draw in silence. I drew the couch and Kim sleeping on it next. Toward the end Hanna began to climb on my back and look on as I drew continuing to ask what it was. She didn’t mess me up too bad but at one point she tried smudging the drawing, as I was (to get the effect of smoothness on the couch) only she did it lightly over Kim’s face and I stopped her from doing it anymore. She didn’t do much damage and I only had to touch up the face a bit. I was able to finish the drawing in time to get my things together and change into my work clothes except for what I left in the car. Thankfully, Kim got up and asked me if I needed a back rub and I said yes. She was able to finish just in time for me to leave and get to work on time. Then of course I couldn’t find my keys and wallet even though they were in the same pocket that I had put them in and for some reason I just didn’t find them in that pocket until at least ten minutes later. So I got to work 9 minutes late, wasn’t able to actually start working until 20 minutes after that because I had to wait for someone to get done with what they were doing in the kitchen. I was very tired and did not get a break though I was scheduled to have one. I went home finally and typed up the answered prayers on my Blog. Kim Schmidt was online and wasn’t able to talk at first but later on, we talked and I felt I was to focus on praying and talking to her rather than typing up this massive entry…
Well Dad has asked me to get on the computer so he can check his Email, so this is a good place to take a break and take my brother to Game Stop like I promised him and then on to Home group and then I’ll finish this later on.
