How Was Your Weekend?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 17 - 2011

1 John 4:1-2 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God

Mine was good.

I think.

I’m trying to remember.

Yes, it was good. :)

Saturday started out with Kat having a soccer game a couple of towns over.

They lost.

Pato said one of the girls played dirty.  She did. She was pushing everyone out of her way.

Then we went to a festival for a new church in between us and another town.

It’s called Fusion Church.  I really liked their pastor and his wife.  But, though having a church that was closer would be awesome, I couldn’t bring myself to change.  I just love my church too much.

So, anyway, my whole family went minus Jordan (dad’s weekened), my sister’s family, who had to work, my niece Taylor (who had a show choir thing) and my brother’s girls (it wasn’t his weekend).  I love spending time with my whole family.  We haven’t done it nearly as much this summer.  Everyone on the go with the kids as they have gotten older and involved in more things.  I really need to just make more time for my family.

Leecy and her face paint – it’s not incomplete.  She only wanted blue.

Pato and Nano – you can’t tell we live in Iowa can you?  Probably not, there’s no corn.

Then we went home, I wanted a nap…. that I never got.  Pato took the kids shopping for dinner.  We ate, I went to bed.  It was all good.

Sunday we got up and went to church.  It was an amazing service.  It always is, but there was an extra something yesterday.  Like, angels were there praising God along with us.  It was just amazingly powerful.  I was moved to tears a couple of times.  AFTER I took Nano to the nursery and made him stay for the first time.

He always cries just going down the nursery stairs, so, me being the mama whose heart is easily broken, always holds him and entertains him during the service.  He was rolling on the floor when I said, that’s it.  You’re going to the nursery.  I met a woman on the way down who helped me through leaving him there.  I needed that strength.  I truly did.  She helped me walk away from him when he was crying so hard.

I picked him up and they told me he cried off and on but did good.

He said, mama someone made fun of me.

I said, how did you know someone made fun of you.

They said, I make fun of you.

Alright, we have a parrot over here.  To be fair, Jordan has been bullied a lot, but obviously, someone is picking up on that.  I’m pretty sure another 1 or 2 year did not walk up to Nano and say, hey!  You!  I make fun of you!

Then we were off to Jordan’s game.  It was in the town that Pato works in so I stopped to pick him up, hoping he’d be on break.

At this point, my nerves were wearing very thin.

My girls were hitting and biting and fighting.

It was fabulous.

I walked into Pato’s work and said, I am leaving our daughters with you.  He disagreed.

He couldn’t get off until 2 so we went back to Jordan’s game.

I was a little irked at Jordan because he was in as goalie and he wasn’t diving for the ball at all.  He let an easy goal go by him.  I told him that if he actually played soccer like he knew how, that I would give him back his x-box cord.

Lucas went in as goalie. :)

Left there, stopped by Kat’s best friend’s house.  Her mom had a bird cage for me.  Woodstock’s cage is not small by any stretch of the imagination, but it is not nearly as big as the other birds’ cages.  Today is going to be move Woodstock into his new mansion day.  Hope he enjoys it.

Came home, made tater tot casserole sans tater tots.  I guess that would make it ground beef with a bunch of extra stuff mixed in and cheese on top.

Seriously, do I have to remember everything?

I suppose if I am the one at the grocery store I should.

Jordan said it was actually good.

The girls were not fans of the fact that I used regular green beans vs French style green beans.

Cuz it tastes so different.

Whatever.

Then I put children to bed and sat down and freaked myself out with Paranormal Witness.

Freaky.

Very very freaky.

It just appeared on my DVR shows the other day.  Jordan’s all, it’s just like Ghost Hunters mom.

After watching it…. um, no, it’s not just like Ghost Hunters son, in fact, you are not ever watching that again.  Mom is, but you’re not.

I love paranormal shows.  Probably because of what I explained in this post.

Chuck – Against All Odds – Am I Evil?

Sometimes it’s just nice to know I’m not the only one out there, you know?

Though, if I dealt with stuff like what happens on Paranormal Witness?  I’d be on my hands and knees thanking God for this gift, but please take it back.  I don’t want it.

Then, I went to sleep.

That was the extent of my weekend.

How about yours?

Have a wonderful day!

Chuck – Against All Odds – Am I Evil?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 17 - 2011

45b7b19cb4_Chuck_S4DVD In the fourth season finale, Sarah has been shot by the “Norseman” device and only has twelve hours left to live. Chuck turns his back on the CIA and despite all warnings sprints throughout the episode to find Volkoff and the antidote. Have you ever been in a situation that despite all odds and warnings you decided to make a run for it? How did it end up working out?

Have I mentioned I have a horrible memory?  I really do.  I’m sitting here trying to think back to something that would relate to this. 

There’s one thing I can think of.  I have this talent to hear things that most people can’t.  I blocked it for a long time.  Strange things have always happened to me.  I wanted to talk to a pastor or someone to make sure that this wasn’t something evil, something against God.  I agonized over this decision for quite awhile and finally decided to call a pastor at the church I had been raised at.  I just needed someone who knew the scripture to tell me that everything was ok.

They gave me to the worship leader.

He told me I needed a mental evaluation even though I sounded completely sane.  He actually sounded shocked when he said that I sounded completely sane.

That didn’t go well.

I knew more scripture regarding this talent I have than he did.

My mom wanted me to talk to the pastor at my sister’s church.

I was like, oh no.  No way am I talking to anyone else about this.  Someone has already told me I was crazy.  Not going there again.  Heather, he is really nice.  I really like him.  If he says that, we’ll just walk out, we’ll never go back.

See, I’ve been hurt before in church and I hadn’t gone for a long time because of it but I really wanted to take my kids to church.  I was scared though.

I tried to get out of it even after mom made an appointment with him.

I did NOT want to do this.

She would have been very disappointed in me if I hadn’t gone. 

My family completely understands.  They’ve seen me through this.  My mom believes that I would talk to an angel on our roof when I was 4.  My mom believes the visions and messages I got from my grandma when my grandpa was dying.  Things like that have happened my whole life.  If it happened to a child, how could it be evil?

I went.

Let me tell you, what a sense of relief I had after talking to him.  He assured me that I wasn’t any more crazy than anyone else at church.  That he feels that there are some people, especially women who are more sensitive to what goes on around us that we can’t always see with our eyes.  And he knew the scripture.  That’s what was important to me.  I wanted someone who actually KNEW God’s word regarding this.

That time it worked out.

I have a church home that I love.

I believe this is the first time I have ever broached this subject completely on my blog, so be gentle with me please.  It is really hard to share this with people sometimes.  I’ll tell you more about how all of this really unfolded at another time.
