Get Away

Ever feel like getting away from the chaos of life? Ever wanted to escape to a tropical place and feel the warm sand on your feet and the wind in your hair?

May I suggest the beaches of China??

I'm Home

It's official. Last Friday was my last day as a "Corporate America" girl. We took the step of faith, and I am now a stay at home mom/employee of Lucas Parry. It's quite exhilarating and also a bit scary, but with God's hand holding ours, we'll take this journey.

This morning we had our first business meeting with strategies, to dos, what nexts and budgets. I'm quite enjoying my new line of business. It's also great to take a break to wipe a snotty nose or dance to the Wiggles with my adorable little son.

Thank You, Lord, for this new venture. We look forward to what You have for us!!

Sick As

Well, the Parry's have not been well. As a matter of fact, all 3 of us have been sick.

It started last Wed for Liam. He had a little stuffy nose, so I took him home instead of going to youth group that night. I'm glad I did because he was a little cranky which really made me know that he wasn't well. Then Friday night, I had a bit of a sore throat that graduated into extreme chest congestion with an annoying "seal" cough. Sunday night, Lucas ends up feeling REALLY bad. The entire next day, Johny and him became great friends.

Update? Lucas was better within about 12 hours. Liam had a high fever Monday night which broke Tues night. I stayed home from work on Tues and Wed to try to fight my cough. I'm feeling a bit better now, but still on the mend.

Liam is having to take cold and cough medicine for the first time - poor tiger! Even though his fever is over, he is still fighting congestion.

So that is the tale of the Parrys over the last few days - pretty pathetic I know. My word of advice, when you have a young family, don't all get sick at the same time and esp don't all get sick with 3 different things at the same time!!! Can anyone say Lysol?

Can't Sit Down

Tonight, I was able to get away with a dear friend, Tree, to go to a concert in this little place downtown Nashville called The Basement. It was a cozy little place and smoke free!! My friend Kevin at work told me about this fanominal band that his friend plays with. The guy had a great testimony of playing in rock bands and then one day getting saved. He now plays this New Orleans Jazz meets Southern Gospel Crusade music. It's quite different, but I really enjoyed it! I loved the style! But I think the thing I loved the most is that it wasn't typical Christian music that is out there today. Anyone could listen to it. He had such an anointing as well - at one point my friend Tree leaned over to me and said - I thought we were going to have church here tonight! He was just top notch and had tremendous stage presence. Thank you Lucas for sacrificing your Sat night to watch Liam while I was able to go out and enjoy such amazing musicianship that was really worshipful!
