Tackle it tuesday! #7–you are gonna laugh

This picture has nothing to do with the rest of the post!
Ok so My tackle for today is simple. I am to just plain and simple tackle life….original huh? Well let’s explain why this is such a big feat for this week! Friday night we had a Welcome home party for Hubby’s brother and wife who will be the co-youth leader’s with us! So Tornado and lady bug were unfortunately out to 11 pm! Then Saturday morning at 10:30 am we left (without kids in tow) to drive 4 hours to see a friend of our Master’s thesis be presented in concert form. He is in a music composition Master’s program. He is a music genius and we have been waiting for him to complete this for 2 or 3 years. That was when he was supposed to complete it but had woman trouble! (ROTFL) Anyway so we visited with some other friends while we waited for 7 pm! The concert was fantastic! He did things with a piano I never knew could be done! We then went back with our other friends! We had donuts and coffee! We had a great time and finally left around eleven! About 25 minutes into the driving two things happened! We hit some of the worst fog we have ever driven through and I got sick! The fog caused us to drive at a whopping 25 miles an hour and the sickness caused two pit stops (the sickness c was caused by the caffeine in the coffee- I had no idea I was putting into my body 4 times the normal amount of caffeine) So in having the first pit stop resulted in us missing an exit and swerving a slight bit and being pulled over for drunk driving! Yes drunk driving. The police officer was so nice! So despite all of this we had a great trip home which took a whopping 6 hours instead of four> You got it we got home at 5. Got in bed at 5:30 and up at 7. We had church. You guessed and remember my husband is a pastor so he was teaching Sunday school. Praise the Lord the kids weren’t along for the ride. So needless to say. My tackle this week is Life. I am still quite tired today after two nights of sleep. they weren’t the greast but it was better than we had on Saturday/Sunday–oh yeah and we still lost an hour cuz of daylight saving time!

A young mom

I know of a mom who is not doing so well. She has two kids who are VERY close together in age. She tried committing suicide yesterday and most importantly she doesn’t know the Lord. She is getting help, but what will really give her peace is becoming a child of the King. I will share her name later on this week but what a perfect time for Christian women to come together through the Ultimate Blog Party to pray for this mom, her children, her salvation and those she comes in contact with. I will tell you she has been diagnosed with post-pardum depression and is truly struggling with life in general. As fellow moms and women won’t you bond together and pray for her!
