Splitsville

OK, today was the first day I had to preach with my mind someplace else. So when I left the house this morning I had to get my mind right because with C.J., sick or not, God's word must go forth with power and clarity. And PRAISE be to God, that is what happened.

I will admit that the drive to church was solemn this morning. I longed for Mommy's nagging and C.J.'s periodic sounds. Somehow they make me feel at ease and ready for anything I encounter. So this morning I had to settle for KISS Inspirations to get me ready for church this morning. I made sure I lifted my baby up in prayer, too.

Now today I actually felt separation anxiety. I was not too worried about C.J.'s health because I know she will be fine. The issue I had today was being away from her. Now I am away from her on most days and a lot on weekends but today was different. I was so antsy with being away from her that I did not even stay at Ma's house for dinner. I got some plates to go and back down to the Bridge I went.

So the stage is set and the sitters are all in place. Daddy will be able to go to work but you better believe she will be on my mind. So I will deal with my separation anxiety. I think I can tame it to make it through the day though. So please you all keep me in prayer and do not forget to pray because as we all know Prayer changes things.

Note to C.J.: Daddy wants you to know how much of a trooper you have been during your little sickness. You remained tough and active even though your body was weak and you were coughing more than smiling. I am very proud of you and know that you are already a strong girl that will turn into a strong woman.
