Good weekend

Whew, what a whirlwind of a weekend!  Friday night we grilled steaks and spent the evening holed up in the house just enjoying spending time with each other.  Saturday we celebrated my BIL's birthday with a huge party at their house.  I made a new recipe (Margarita Cake) and it turned out really good!  We spent most of the evening hanging out with "A's" family and friends.  It was a really good time and truly exhausting. 

Today we went to Sunday School and church (more about that later) and then hung out around the house.  I decided that I really wanted to make some homemade bread, so I did!  I made 2 loaves of bread and they were fantastic!!  We also spent some time with my parents out at the pool relaxing.  It was a great way to spend they day. 

Church today was pretty awesome.  First, let me say that I have yet to go to a service where I haven't cried.  I can't really explain it, but every service I just get overwhelmed and feel even closer to God and the way I express every emotion I have is to cry.  When I am angry...I cry.  When I am sad...I cry.  When I am happy...I cry.  You get the idea.  Anyway, sorry for the rabbit trail.  Today, at church I started to get upset and "A" put his arm around me to comfort me and I whispered to him that I wish I knew why.  Then the special music started and the young girl sang Better Than A Hallelujah by Amy Grant.  (If you have not listened to this song...Go now!! )  I felt such a peace.  Throughout the whole service I just really felt peaceful and felt like God was reassuring me more and more that He loved me and that losing Ella Grace was not punishment, but it was a way to bring me closer to Him.  I know that to some people that will not make sense, but I get it.  Do I wish it didn't have to be?  Absolutely.  But I am so thankful that God loves me enough to want to draw me closer to Him. 

It was a good weekend!    Now, time to face the week!!
