So excited for tomorrow!!

Woohoo!! Sean comes home tomorrow!!! Oh how I miss him! I know Hailey misses him too. The other day she went into Sean and my bedroom and peeked around the corner into the bathroom where she normally finds her daddy cleaning up after work. He wasn't there so she ran out the room and looked around.

I can't wait to hear what God did in Ecuador with this group of guys that went! My conversations with Sean have been very limited. Last I heard, over 200 people have gotten saved from the crusades they were doing!

Hailey has had a tough week. Very, very clingy and fussy. There have been moments that we have had a lot of fun though. Like tonight, we were playing with cardboard boxes and laughing. But this morning was tough. She had her first time-out. She dealt with it pretty well for not understanding what was going on.

Yesterday was tough too. I wasn't feeling to well and then Hailey started screeming and flailing herself everywhere for a very long time. Nothing I could do would make her happy. I have no idea what set her off. It was so frustrating. Some friends of Sean and mine invited Hailey and I over for dinner. I thought it would be good to get out of the house. On the way there, I looked back at her and her forehead was blotchy, eye was swollen and red, nose was red and around her mouth. It looked bad. She acted okay though. But a couple hours later, she puked. Oh it was nasty! I still am not sure exactly what was going on... maybe a reaction to something?

The heat is ridiculous down here in Fla. When it FINALLY gets cool around here, I want to try this recipe. I heard it is really yummy!

Café Mocha

1 cup of instant coffee, I like Tasters Choice best
2 cups of Nestles NESQUIK®
3 cups of Carnation Instant Milk I have tried other brands and they don't taste as well.

To make your cup of Café Mocha; boil your water, pour into your cup and add 3 tablespoons to your cup. If you have a big mug you will have to adjust the number to tablespoons you add to it. I like mine creamy.

Ecuador

Sean is in Ecuador right now!! Today is his 3rd day gone from home. Hailey and I have family staying with us which is fun to spend time with them that I normally don't get to! Please be praying for Sean as they travel about Ecuador and minister. The enemy is really trying to attack them by telling them lies. Please pray that the Holy Spirit empowers all of these guys and moves through them - all for God's glory!

The Count down....

Sean leaves in 3 days for Ecuador! I can't believe it is finally here. We have been talking and praying about it for months. I would like an itinerary so I know exactly where he is going and when but that is all up in the air. They have some places set to go on certain days but it is all subject to change. They also will be asked while they are there to make detours and go preach somewhere they hadn't planned to. This is really going to be a me trusting God thing!

We have pretty much everything Sean needs. I think he will have his bag packed by tomorrow. Wednesday morning I will drive him to Apopka to meet with all the guys going on the trip. They will leave from there and drive to Miami airport.

Sean was planning on taking his guitar with him so the guys can have devotional/worship time in the mornings but he was a little unsure about it. He was concerned that the airline may not let him carry the guitar on the plane with him but instead put it in cargo. So we thought we would put on Craigslist that we are looking for a guitar to take down there and give away to a needy church worship band. Before anyone responded, Sean found an acoustic guitar someone had given him, not expensive but in pretty good shape, that he had totally forgotten about. Next he was looking for strings and found some that he didn't know he had! WOW!!! God had it right in front of us and we didn't know it!! That is going to be so exciting for Sean to be able to give that guitar away to someone who needs it. Thank you God!!!!!
