As most of you know, I had eye surgery last Monday. As of Saturday night/Sunday morning, I have regained some vision in my left eye - it is still very hazy (as expected) but continuing to clear. Dr. Jablon expects my vision to clear significantly in the next couple of weeks and told me I should be able to return to work after my next office visit which is August 5th. Can I get a HALLELUJAH? (On a sour note... the "diva" can't wear eye make-up or contacts for another week.)
At 6:00am this morning, Dalton left with our youth group to attend M FUGE camp in Nashville, Tennessee. This is his first time EVER leaving home to fend for himself and he was SUPER excited. When he returns home, I will let him high-jack my blog with a post about his adventure. Please pray for his safety. I would like to share with everyone that as we were excitedly packing last night, I asked him which Mission Project did he find interesting and he said "That's easy - I want to help put on Bible School for the little kids". I thought he might choose to paint or work in construction... What man doesn't like a hammer??? Then he turned and looked at me and said, "You know mama, I love the little kids - I'm gonna be a great youth minister one day".
With that being said, I am SO looking forward to spending some one on one time with my baby. Jarrett and I have an awesome week planned. We rarely get the opportunity to spend time with each child seperate from the other.
Charles and I just returned yesterday from Spartanburg where we helped Hub City Church with two seperate events. One was a Movies in the Park event that they hosted. I would guess that there were over 2,000 people in attendance. Susanne, Keishiah and I served soft drinks and water for a couple of hours while our men were spraying bug spray, picking up trash and setting up equipment. Then, Sunday morning, we helped this same church with their very first morning worship exerience! How exciting is that? We helped serve in their children's areas, set up equipment, greeted their guests, directed traffic... we learned so much to take back to Revolution Church. I am so thankful to Jonathan Everette (Hub's pastor) for including us and allowing us to be a part of such a special time for their church.
Stay tuned - More Russell family fun will be posted soon!
