Today is the day

I should be on on my way to the airport, but no. I want to capture all of my thoughts right now. The name of my blog is grace-appears, and its only named that because grace like rain was taken :(
Long story short I LOVE the song ( Grace Like Rain) I find myself listening to it often, in fact at the end of this post I will put the lyrics. This morning as  I was scurrying around making sure everything was tidy for grandma I found myself having the oddest fears. 1. will she accidentally use Elias tooth brush? 2. Will she not want to watch the view with me , its my one stay at home mom guilty pleasure.... forget soap operas the View is it ! 3. am I gong to have to explain that she should wipe front to back and not vice versa to avoid infections, this is a grown woman after all, who by the way change my diapers. 4. But the biggest fear, is my fear of alienation from friends, I love my friends & church so dearly and I don't want to have to choose! ,maybe I am being dramatic and it will all be copacetic, but that's the worst ! I DON'T KNOW how any of it will work , the unknown is always scary but this effects, my son, husband, me, our household, and the outreach I feel God wants me to do in our church. However on a  positive note...... I know at this point you were wondering if their was one =) I met with TWO wonderful woman one, is Lynn who heads up the healing prayer team, if I could legally adopt her as an aunt I would! With our without her permission ;) Her prayer for me was that the Lord would go BEFORE me, man what a truth that I needed to hear, and need to REMIND myself of, we prayed about taking her into our household... not Lynn although nice, but my grandma, so wouldn't it make sense that GOD would go before me?? I need to put that on the fridge, the bathroom you name it, only grandma will prob be confused seeing as how I told her I would put notes on things like cereal pantry, she might wonder whats behind the door that says " The Lord will go before you " that would be pretty cool to open =) The second AWESOME encounter was Jolee W. she recently took care of her mother in-law with Alzheimer's and has to small boys, she reminded me its ok to be mad or frustrated, and that it doesn't make me less of a christian. For some strange reason I thought my blog should be all the triumph & glory of it all, and maybe some time it will, but you know life is REAL, and their will be struggles, So Jolee if you read this THANK YOU!! I should probably go, since she should NOT have to wait at the airport. ~ Z       p.s below is the song

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly
Chorus:
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Chorus
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun
Chorus
Chorus
