Hi Everyone,
I just got home from the Women of Faith - Amazing Freedom Tour. We went Friday night and spent the night and stayed all day today. If you have never attended one, it is one of the most awesome experiences you will ever experience. There was wonderful singing, testimonials, comedy, and even dramatizations. They have a website, check it out. Sandy Patty was there, she has the most powerful voice that you will ever hear. The conference really touched my heart, there were powerful messages about God.

I debated whether to call my H and tell him that I was going. My oldest D was coming home from college so I knew that she could stay with youngest D15. But I thought the right thing to do was to inform my H and to make sure he would be in town if they needed anything. I told him he could spend the night at the house to keep an eye on daughters if he didn't feel comfortable letting them stay by theirselves.

When I called him to let him know about me going out of town. He was real friendly and chatty. He asked where I was going and who with. I love that he wanted to know - ha! While I was talking to him his cell phone dropped the call. I didn't call him back because I had told him everything I needed to tell him. About 5 minutes later he called me back and told me his phone had gone dead. I was surprised he called back. He asked if I needed cash, if so he would go to the bank and get it for me. When I got home from work that day he had already brought the money over and left it on the counter for me! I did not even ask for it. I suggested to youngest D that she should ask her dad to take her out to eat since I would not be home. I thought it would be a good time for them to spend quality time together since they haven't been together much lately. He ended up taking her and a friend out to eat. He did not stay the night with her. There ended up being a little drama at the house that night, but D took care of it (uninvited teenage guest). I was really glad that I had called H and told him I wouldn't be in town that way if they would have had to call him, he couldn't have gotten mad at me.

When I called him on Thurs. night. He told me we could do something Sat. night. I called him when I got home to see if wanted to make dinner plans. He said he and his dad were busy cleaning up around his business and wanted to try to finish it and he would call me later. We shall see, but I will not call him.
