I believe in miracles

Yesterday I took the kids swimming at the second shoot.  That is what they call a section of the canal.  It is pretty fun. They go under a bridge and it pushes them out.  They love it.  But Mayah pushed off and ended up hitting her head against the metal bridge.  She cried and I could tell it really hurt her.  So we headed home.  She didn't eat dinner and was very tired and fell asleep.  I had her sleep with me.  She woke in the night asking for medicine because she said she had a headache.  And then again this morning she said it was still there and wanted more medicine.  It wasn't going away and it was making me a bit nervous.  She was laying in bed and trying to stay at still as possible as to not jolt her head.  I was thinking about taking her in to the ER.  Head injuries scare me.  I checked her eyes and watched her for concerns and everything seemed fine except the horrible headache.

Then Ethan had a 103.5 fever.  UGH.  I wanted so bad to go to church.  A young man in the ward was going on a mission to Hawaii and I didn't want to miss his farewell. 

I knew what I had to do.  I prayed with as much sincerity as I could possibly have.  I asked for a miracle.  I asked if there was anyway that my children could be healed so that we could attend church.....even if we could just go to Sacrament Meeting.  Then I could bring the kids home.  After I prayed I went out of my room.  When I came back in Mayah said that her headache was pretty much gone.  WHAT?!!!  MIRACLE.  She got up and got some cereal.  Then I asked Ethan how he was feeling and he said he was feeling better.  We took him temperature and it was back in the normal range. 

I immediately got back on my knees and offered a pray of thanks.  I seriously witnessed a miracle.  I didn't think we would be able to go.  Not only that..........the kids felt good enough to stay the whole time at church.  Another wow.  But as soon as Ethan got in the car I knew he was starting to feel yucky again because he gave me his M&M cookie.  Who gives up a yummy cookie just like that if they are well? :)

When we got home we took his temp and it was up again.  That just proves to me that the Lord was very aware of us and answered my prayers.

Don's brother and wife came today.  They are on their way to moving to Wenatchee.  But his brother will be heading to Iraq for a year and his family will be close to his wifes mom.  It was a nice visit and they will be coming back tomorrow for another visit.  SO great that they will be here for Mayah's baptism.

 I love being a mom.  Today was such a great day and my kids were so full of sweetness.  I am thankful for them.

A lady that works at Lakeview called me to let me know that there is an opening.  She wanted to know if I wanted to apply or keep subbing.  UGH.  I am so tired of making decisions.  What do I do?  Sub or permanent job while going to school?  I don't know.  I have all sorts of things floating around in my head that concern other areas too and I just don't know what to do.  I guess I will be back on my knees.  I wonder if the Lord gets tired of hearing my pleas.
