In case you were not convinced...

of the reality of Spiritual Warfare as mentioned in Monday's post here -

let me bring you up to speed.

There was an amazing response to my post Monday on Discerning Adoption... I was contacted by many families wondering if special needs adoption was the path for their family and seeking further information about Reece's Rainbow and the waiting children...

there has even been interest in sweet Malcolm, although no one has committed to be his family yet...

did you see his grant fund is over $7,000??!?!?!?

and there is MORE coming...so much more....we will start another fundraising BLITZ for him on Monday, March 26!!

So flush from the success of the early part of the week, here is the rest...

I was bashed by a woman making an illegal U-turn in the middle of a block heading home yesterday. She had an expired license. She did not follow me to the police station to make a report as the police instructed us over the phone. According to the police, her license plates do not match the car that hit me. It is likely she gave me false insurance information...we will know more tomorrow.

This crazy 5 yo boy jumped off the highest playground equipment on Wednesday....and limped the rest of that day....and all day yesterday....and this morning....and so we are heading into the orthopedic doc to see what he did to his foot...we will know more this afternoon.

On the Henry front....I cannot get anyone to send me the results of his sleep study...and we have not confirmed a new date for his cleft palate repair yet...and I cannot get his teeth fixed at the same time as the cleft repair/ear tubes NOR during any of the 3 sedated tests he will be having at CHOP the first week of April.

So there is my week.

I am not looking for dark shadows behind every corner....

and I realize bad stuff can "just happen"...

but when all this happens and I hear a low seething voice going "Stop blogging. Malcolm is not your responsibility. You are busy enough. Take care of your own first. Let someone else advocate, someone with more time.... go watch some TV, you deserve it......"

I realize that I need to do the OPPOSITE.

So I blogged instead of having a coffee break....and now it is off to therapy for Henry and x-rays for Logan and insurance calls on the car and call after call to the hospital to find sleep study results so I will know if Henry is stopping breathing while he rests....

What is it for YOU today???? 

That you know God is calling you to do but you are scared or tired or under attack about???

Maybe it is going to www.reecesrainbow.com and donating to that child whose face keeps popping up in your head??

Maybe it is tackling a project that would make your spouse happy that you have procrastinated....

Maybe it is thinking about what to make for dinner NOW instead of at 5:30pm....

Listen to the still small quiet loving voice that calls you to do what you KNOW you need to do.

And start your weekend off convinced and convicted!!! Have a good one!!!

I will....

no matter what....

take that Screwtape.
