What a LONG day!

We are babysitting Erica's dog, Aspen for the weekend, and because he's not here all the time, the boys (dogs) just want to play and play and play and play.  We ended up putting Minnow and Mater downstairs in the office, and had Aspen in our bedroom overnight.  By 4 a.m., Aspen wanted to go out, and Mater was getting stupid and barking to get out of the office.  Greg had his earphones in and music on, so he didn't hear anything. While I wanted to get up and put some overtime in, I wasn't planning on starting until 5:30 or so.  Because of the dogs, I ended up starting to work at 4:15 a.m.!   It's now 7:30, and I'm pooped! 

Once I was done working at 10:00 a.m., I spent the rest of the day cleaning and cooking.  Rachel's mom (Rachel is Aaron's fiancé) and some other folks are coming over tomorrow, as we have "stuff" to do.  Obviously, I had to get some cleaning done!   I spring cleaned the small bathroom, cleaned the kitchen, washed the floor, went to the grocery store, and made some munchies for tomorrow!  

I made a low carb cream cheese dip with dry Ranch dressing, green onions, cream cheese, sour cream, bacon and cheddar cheese.  This one will be eaten with cucumber slices, to keep it low carb.  Then I made a Reuben Dip, which is just what it sounds like!  Diced corned beef, cream cheese, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and Swiss cheese.  That is a hot dip, so it's in my little crockpot.  I also made some Salsa wraps with cream cheese, salsa, Mexican shredded cheese and minced onion.  I mixed all that together and spread it on burrito size tortillas and then rolled them and sliced them.  The last one I made is my famous spinach dip!   I basically use the recipe on the package of Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix, but tweak it a bit.   It's amazing!  

I was listening to my Christian Music Favorites on Spotify while I was working, and I must say, with everything that's going on right now, too many of them really made me emotional.   The other day at work, I was listening to the same music in my headphones, and I just sat there with tears pouring down my face as I listened.   Fortunately, no one saw me!   I don't think I've had enough time to process what's happening with Greg. I'd been so involved in the battle with the insurance company, that I wasn't letting the reality of everything set in.  I don't know that I'm even at that point yet.   I'm pretty sure I won't be at that point until after we see the oncologist on April 11th. 

One of my favorite new songs is by the Sidewalk Prophets.  I saw them in concert about 4 years ago with Matthew West.  It was incredible!    The song is called IMPOSSIBLE.   Here are the lyrics. Once you read them, you will understand why this song is resonating with me right now.   

They tell me that I can't
Tell me that I won't
Tell me that I'm washed up
Tell me that I'm broke
They tell me that I don't
Don't have what it takes
Tell me that I'm crazy
Hanging on by faith
Tell me I'm a lost cause
I'm a hopeless soul
Just stand back watch my God do

The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible

Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible

Some would say it's foolish
Stepping on the ways
Some would say it's over
When you're buried in the grave
We're calling all the dreamers
With passion in their eyes
Calling all believers out into the light
Even when it's hopeless
Out of our control
Just let go, watch our God do

The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible

Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible

When our God speaks
The mountains roar
The whole earth trembles with the throne
Though this life can be
His glorious break enlights the sun
When our hope is lost
When our strength is gone
He is rising up
We will overcome

The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible

Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible

When our hope is lost
When our strength is gone
He is rising up
We will overcome

Here's their official video.  I hope it moves you the way it moves me. 

We serve an amazing God.  I know that what appears impossible to us is entirely possible with God.  My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is on the throne and will carry us through everything!   There is nothing the enemy can do that will stop us from praising God!
