Friday Night Adventure

Long ago in a time forgotten, the Jones Family used to love to have lots of friends over on the weekends for dinner, games, tv, etc. We loved having company and entertaining, we loved the Christian friends God had gave us, and the time shared with them was a blessing. Then a baby rocked my world, (my second child). She had GERD, and was sick from the minute she was born. My body betrayed me, I had post partum, high blood pressure and headaches that turned to migraines, along with a sick child. My entertaining days were over, it was too stressful on me (literally doctors orders). I think that contributed some to me straying from the Lord, being in constant contact with Christian friends is such a joy, and to me, helps keep us on track. ( I am not blaming that, my straying was my fault, and I take total blame, but many factors contributed). Anyway, many of our friends lost their way, some divorced, some left the church, others just left God totally.

Since that time my body and I have come to an agreement. I will be as nice to it as possible, and it will let me live with some degree of normalcy. My post partum finally disappeared, my high blood pressure is kept in check with medications, and changing from a no baby pill to a no baby shot made my migraines almost non existant. Note, I say almost non existant. So, for the past few years, I have been okay in living with my body.

I tell you this because tonight, I will be entertaining again for the first time in a very long time. My friends, Daryl and Ashlee are coming over to help Jay with his job interview next week. Daryl is a recruiter and is just going to walk him through some questions. I am thankful for them that they want to help. Daryl is going to be preaching a new church for the next month and is under pressure to do the Lord's will. Ashlee is pregnant, and dealing with sinus issues this week, and probably does not feel like coming. BUT THEY WANT TO HELP, and we are SO THANKFUL for that. So, I have cleaned my house to the best of my ability, put most of my dogs up, and am ready for company!!! PRAY FOR ME!
