yesterday and some random thoughts

Yesterday had the potential to be a lot of fun, but in reality...not so much. Adam had to teach so B came with Kelly and I on our trip to Austin. On the way there she started scratching at her face and saying she couldn't stop and that she itched really badly. Then, she started to cry and. didn't.stop. I turned around to look at her and quickly realized her impetigo was coming back, again, for the third time. Big sigh. Poor girl wouldn't stop crying and here I am driving to Austin with virtually no idea where I am and hours away from her medication at home. My patience is quickly gone as there is little I can do and a crying child in the back seat who can't relax. I get to Austin, call the closest Walgreens and plead my case for prescription cream for my daughter. Thankfully the pharmacist had mercy on me and filled the prescription without a doctor's note and we were able to get things under control fairly soon. Whew! A tad stressful for sure. Later in the day I'm driving Kelly to the airport and a strange number shows up on my cell (I know, shame on my for answering while I was driving, bad Molly! I know I know), anyway, it was Adam, borrowing some random stranger's cell to tell me he had a tire blowout on the freeway and would possibly not be home when I got there and he didn't want me to worry. SCARY! He said he was a foot away from semi trucks whizzing by as he squatted on the freeway changing his tire (thank you Jesus for keeping him safe!). Needless to say, not the best day for the Winns. We're home now, safe and sound, B quietly sleeping in bed and Adam and I taking some deep breaths. Life is funny isn't it? You really never know what each day will bring. I feel like my posts lately have sounded so pathetic and "poor me" and I'm sorry about that, its been a weird time over here. It's all about to change though! I'm going to be more intentional about focusing on the good things and leaving the lame things behind, and I truly will start taking some photos to share (something I really haven't had time for lately and really really miss). Thanks for bearing with me, I know I haven't been the best read for sure! More to come. xo

I cannot express how grateful I am to God that you are all safe and for how He watched over you. Enjoy the Texas sunshine today and bake some yummy cupcakes!

Impetigo on top of chigger bites?? Adam a foot away from semi wheels? Wow. It's a good thing the mercies of the Lord are new every morning.

Praise God that Adam is ok!!! It sounds like you are having a rough few days but just remember that God will not give you more than you can bear, trust me on that one. Psalm 138:7 says Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you shall revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies and your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me! Trust God Molly & continue to praise him, even when you can't see it, He is working in your favor. Love ya!

Sharing the "lame" things is good Molly ... it's reality and sometimes it's encouraging to know that someone else has yucky stuff going on :)

Though it wasn't exactly the day in Austin we had planned, it was nice just to do everyday "life" things like the olden days. Until next time!
