Sunday, October 28th Catching Up

Hello Everyone.  I'm so sorry it's been a week.  I didn't intend weekly installments, but I can't do daily either.  So maybe in between.  That being said it's been quite the week so let's catch up!

• I forgot to add last time that I got to assist an officer while out Ubering.  She needed a man out of house before a domestic violence episode happened.  I absolutely did a short cash ride to help her diffuse the situation.
• I went to last Sunday service alone as David was at a show.  Always feels weird at first but then our tribe steps in and it's better.  I sat with my sweet friend John.  
• Monday night I was doing airport rides; I gave a ride to a very good friend of my vet.  I give him so much praise as he has always taken such good care of my sweet Zoe.  Small world.  
• Then I had another ride for a rockstar grandma.  Her daughter had to move to Texas from California for her husband's work.  So she flies in every 2 months and stays two or three weeks to see her grandbabies.  I was able to give her fresh ideas for some activities.  You just can't keep us grandmas from our babies.  We will not be deterred. 
• Tuesday the weather turned and was cool but not rainy.  The backyard was still flooded so I loaded Zoe up to go run errands with me.  I had a field inspection in Paradise.  I felt bad when I got there as the clients mother was in her final days inside.  But she said no worries a few moments away outside to look at her car was a welcome diversion.  She didn't mind so Zoe ran around her big country yard.  She was amazed that she never ran out of my eyesight and came running over when called.  After that we went to David's shop and oil change.  This is a monthly chore for him.  Zoe loves hanging out there, she would go everyday if he let her.
• Thursday started out driving a wonderful Christian Indian family from FW back to Dallas.  They are here from Charlotte, NC for a wedding. Ride turned out to be an hour due to traffic.  I love Indian people they are so kind.  We talked on so many topics.  I was also able to show them where a couple more sites were they wanted to squeeze in while here. 
• Yeah Friday finally here and the weather is gorgeous.  Kendall and I took Myles and Trevor to Boo at the Zoo.  The boys had so much fun.  They are almost 3 and 5 now ... wow so fast.  It is so good for cousins to hang out.  The zoo was super crowed but since its so big it wasn't too bad, plus we don't worry about seeing everything just go at their pace.  
• Kendall had to head to work so we only stayed till mid afternoon.  I got a text and call from Families to Freedom that a lady needed a gas card to get out of town.  So we took care of that before dropping Kendall at work.  She was headed to another shelter in another state where she felt she could start over.  As she has no ties there she didn't think her abuser would find her there.  I pray she is right.  
• Myles went home and Trevor asked to stay to have dinner with his Big Dave.  This meant a trip to the country later that night to drop him off.  Totally worth it, he loves his time with his grandpa.  
• Saturday brought Payton's funeral.  It was a beautiful service.  An awesome choir.  Several pastors spoke.  A poem read by a friend.  Amazing Grace sung by another friend.  Even though I was heartbroken over losing her, I felt revitalized after the funeral.  The Holy Spirit showed up in a big way.  This little one in her short life was such a warrior for Christ.  No photos or media was let in but the family did outside.  I hope the camera picked up on all the shades of skin that were there.  Racism or anti racism was a big thing to Payton.  She truly never saw skin color, she care for it when others did either.  
• Saturday night was a blur of activity driving Uber with three big concerts in DFW and festivals everywhere.  I had a great time people watching in all their silly costumes.  There are some creative people out there.
• Sunday evening we had our Lifeline dinner honoring single moms.  Everything turned out perfect, it was an awesome event.  Nicole had a word from God on this and was obedient.  Perfect.
