Just Keep Swimming

Quote seen in a Pinterest post:
Sometimes God calms the storm.
Sometimes God calms the sailor.
But sometimes He makes us swim.

What a crazy weekend we just had!!!!

Here are the highlights:

Original Plan - Friday/Saturday help my sister move to AZ, back home by Sunday morning for daughter to speak in church. Nat and Henry go with me to the doc on Monday.
Revised Plan - Sister works things out so she doesn't need help, so finish canning apricots and nectarines and go to RPG Summit to listen to Nat on Saturday. Go to church on Sunday and hear daughter speak, Pokemon Community Day and family dinner. Rick to doc with me on Monday.
What actually happened: Saturday: Canning and blender died, trip to store to buy blender, made it to Nat's presentation, finished apricots, nectarines in fridge. Rick won one of the grand prizes at the RPG Summit. Sunday: Daughter spoke in church, sibs came to support her, Wil wasn't feeling well and ended up heading to doc leaving Henry with us. Seems he had appendicitis, so Rick and I at the hospital with Nat while he has surgery. Nat's mom watches Henry, and girls pick him up for bedtime. Surgery went well, Rick and Ann home at about 10:30pm, Nat brings Wil home at midnight and picks up Henry. Monday: Rick to doc with me. Nat and Henry at home with Wil.
We did a lot of swimming this weekend. Good thing there are so many lifeguards in our family. Prayer is a powerful tool, our faith sustains us, we strive to listen to and follow those promptings of the Spirit, and we are grateful for all our family - Wixoms, Loosles, Burdicks and Halls. Heavenly Father knows when we need to swim, but He also makes sure we do not swim alone.
