I gotta tell you, the last couple of weeks have been two of the hardest weeks the Dameron clan has experienced. Every time we turned around there was just something new popping up. Sickness, something breaking, some kind of bad news, ... something. After spending most of last week on my back either in bed or on the couch getting almost nothing done because of some strange strain of feverish infection (I ended up on both antibacterials and antivirals), I was really praying that this week would be better.
When Abby Rae has her "quiet time" every day she listens to her clock radio/CD Player. As any 7 year-old does, she has her favorite songs and bands now. Her favorite is the Newsboys, and her favorite song is Million Pieces. Whenever we drive down the road, listening to WPER, and the Newsboys come on, I can hear her singing along.
So a few weeks ago, when we heard (rather, when Abby Rae heard) that KingsFest is coming to Kings Dominion and Newsboys are headlining the show, she's done nothing but talk about how much fun it would be to go and how we need to listen for the song of the day on PER since they were giving away tickets and a grand prize family package.
On Thursday, the song of the day was, none other than, Million Pieces. Carrie called and won a free day's pass for Friday's show but was also entered into a drawing for the grand prize: family 4-pack of tickets to all the shows and the Park plus hotel accomodations. The grand prize winners would be declared this morning at 7:21am.
As I came in from feeding the dog, Carrie and the girls were sitting expectantly on our bed listening to the radio for the announcement. Just about that time, our phone rang, and guess what... It was PER giving us one of the grand prizes!
Gotta say... I feel like this week's gonna be a better week. Thanks God! Thanks PER!
