We went to Madison, Wisconsin for a Tae Kwon Do tournament last weekend. Big Rex, Isaac and Lilly entered. Big Rex and Lilly got first in sparring and third in forms. Isaac got third in sparring and fourth in forms. There was a large group of people from our school in the tournament. It is nice to get away for a couple days with the kids. We had fun swimming in the hotel pool. I hope to have pictures up of the tournament this week. When I say Big Rex I am referring to my husband, even though Little Rex weighs almost as much as Big Rex now.
The first and only night in our hotel room we had a phone call from the family watching our dog, Winnie. Winnie had gotten loose and they could not catch her. She had been missing for almost four hours then. A lot of their neighbors had been involved in her apprehension. She had stopped traffic at least once by running down a busy street. So we told our friends to keep praying and we would call them back in an hour. We prayed together as a family, called our pastor to pray, and I also called my Mom to pray. Rex and I sent the kids to the other hotel room because we had two rooms. We had basically decided to skip the tournament and leave early in the morning. The family called back before the hour was up and told us Winnie came back to their house. God answers prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was completely unbelievable for her to go back to a house she didn’t know. With God all things are possible. There is no other way for her to have gone back there but by God sending her there.
I took a short trip to my mother’s new house and painted her bedrooms. I took Ethan, Lilly and Geneva with me. Ethan was a big help. I haven’t been home much in the last week so I haven’t really been able to exercise. It felt really good to go to Tae Kwon Do practice tonight.
