Today is day 7
Thursday- media fasting day/ talking/praying  day

Have you ever had a day when everything went OH SO WRONG, and yet it was all ok?
That is how today was. We woke up really late because Michael wanted me to get some sleep to get well. And the old (now deceased) coffee maker was not working well and over filled my cup and it spilled everywhere. I dropped a huge jug of water on my foot. I had things fall out of cupboards, the freezer, AND the fridge would not stay closed and kept popping open for no discernible reason.
I spilled Michael's breakfast and when I was trying to fix it I dumped mocha all over me, the counter, everything on the counter, and the floor.
Lets just say that by noon I was standing in the kitchen just hysterically laughing. Michael comes in with a concerned look on his face and says, "Thats a girl. keep laughing, if you don you will just cry."

I had spilled so much on myself I ended up taking a shower cause I was sticky from the mocha. By the time I was out of the shower it was late. It felt like the day was flying by and I hadn't DONE ANYTHING yet.

I was eager to read our devotional because we were one day behind. We never got that far.
After my shower I started talking with Michael about life at this point. His thoughts, fears, where he thinks we are going/should go and everything imaginable. We shared our hearts, our fears, and frustrations (as there are many right now) and just ended up talking together for HOURS.

It was kind of how a week ago Michael had listened to me cry about where I was in my life and how I wasn't getting what I needed done and he gave me a serious pep talk and some ideas of how to fix it. Today was my turn to listen and give him a pep talk. I gave some hard truth like he had given me. He is so wonderful and instead of being offended by some of the things I said, he thanked me for my honestly. Isn't he amazing!

By the time we stopped to take a breath it was 4:45pm and I had to start cooking dinner. After the botched kitchen attempt this morning we both hadn't eaten all day.

I am happy to say dinner cooking went mostly better than my early kitchen fiasco! We had a new meal from the Sugar Book. Zucchini noodles and Marinara sauce with baked chicken. It was good! Michael really liked it. He says so far everything has been good on the diet.

After dinner it was my turn to have a bit of a melt-down. (AGAIN) I'm clinging to Michael and sobbing, "I don't know why Im such a basket case all the time." He's the best.
He calls me his "fragile little scrambled egg" :) I like that.

He says when he can get me to change my focus in my rough moments he feels like he just hit a three-pointer in a basketball game. And when we take the time to stop and pray in the moment its like taking a time out to regroup and strategize. I love that man!

We were supposed to have our media fast night tonight. But after all day of just being so DEEPLY intensely in conversation and then later in prayer we needed a bit of time to unwind and have decided to just skip tonight and continue on. Besides by this time it was already 10 at night. I played on my computer, and he watched sports center and we, exhausted went to bed shortly there after, at midnight... Felling, both of us, strangely much better after our very communicative day.
