So many thoughts

running through my brain. I am having some trouble focusing on any one thing. It’s like the craziness of the holidays has engulfed me. I have schoolwork to correct, a house to put to order, a tugging pain in my heart for a unknown child in the Father’s arms, a rebellious son wreaking havoc, thoughts of inadequacy, and physical ailments to top it all off. In short I am exhausted, cranky, frustrated, angry, sad and my back is killing me (ice is my friend right now). I hopefully will be able to form a coherent thought in the next few days. Right now I just want to point out I have some reviews coming up, we had a lovely Christmas that turned into something  atrocious, and we were all sick with head colds. Happy New Year everybody! May this year be the last year I give Santa credit when it is God who is Glorified.  We are so very blessed by the Almighty even in (especially) our times of suffering.

Letting go and Letting God

Recently my family and I have run into some financial problems and are in very real danger of losing our home. I have in the past few weeks give my worries to God and have been realizing all the things he has blessed us with. As some of you know I had scheduled my IUD removal for May and after only 1 month had a normal cycle. Craig & I had decided to let God plan our family and I admit to being a bit apprehensive, especially as our house payments got further behind. I kept to our decision though and put my trust in the Lord. I am now pregnant! The Lord has some wonderful plans for us, I also have felt him speaking to me as to what my spiritual gifts are. I have so much to be thankful for. We truly serve a wondrous, almighty God! Since this is early on I am praying that a full term pregnancy will result (miscarriage risk is increased within first 3 months after IUD removals).
