the ghosts of situation past

the last time I was in the situation I am in tonight was Jan. 2012

I was in Illinois getting ready to care for Sarah's children 

she was going on a cruise she earned through Gold Canyon

Kourtney had to work

so being the good grandma I am

I volunteered to babysit

I got to her house and I was sick

in pain that sent me to bed in tears

it was so bad Bill and two of our football boys drove 7+hours to get me

Bill and I stayed the night

the boys started back immediately so they wouldn't miss class

that has been in the back of my mind for a few days now

lurking

taunting

threatening

tomorrow Sarah has to have surgery

Kourtney will have to go back to work Thursday and Friday

being the good grandma I am

I volunteered to babysit

tonight I am in Russell Springs Ky

thankfully I am not sick and in pain and in tears

but I would be lying if I said I am not a little nervous

the "ghosts" of the past

rise up to haunt and to threaten

the Holy Ghost is my only defense against them

prayers for all of us would be more than welcome

for successful surgery, complete recovery and awareness of the Comforter

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. "

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
