Was good to be in the house of the Lord!

Thank the Lord for His touch on me so we could make it to church this am. Steve wasn't feeling well so it was just us girls... Was a very encouraging&uplifting,also food for thought... Thankful our impossibles, are possible with God!!! 
Didn't make it tonight, to much pain.... But am holding on, I know&believe God is in control. Couldn't make it without Him!!!

So the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped. http://bible.us/Exod4.31.NKJV

Shania read the Bible to us tonight. Out of James 1 & Psalm 107 , Gods word is full of hope,promises,and is a solid foundation to stand on. Throughout His entire word He tells us He never changes.. We can trust the road we are on if it's the one He has made for us. All other ground is sinking sand for sure.... Why we strugle is not His fault,its ours...
With having several different health issues going on,it gets dark&overwhelming,I'm human. There are things I'm use to doing& I can't right now... Sometimes I get frustrated that people still expect me to be a certain way,but in all reality I am the hardest on myself. So so so very thankful to have a wonderful caring loving husband&three wonderful girls. We are truly blessed!  I couldnt do it without them. I am thankful for the lessons the Lord has taught me/us during this time in our lives, it has helped us to be&show more compassion to those around us.  I am striving to become a better Wife&Mother... It certainly is a learning process that I believe is a life-long journey, one I wouldn't trade for the world!

God is so good!

So thankful for a prayer answering God!! He is never late,always on time.... Knows just what is best,doesn't run on our time clock,leads steps by steps,and ya know He doesn't get worried when it takes me a bit longer than what someone else thinks it should take. He is in control in&over all.. Never sleeps,never gets tired... Never puts me on hold when I go in prayer to Him,always there as my ALl sufficient Savior!! Bless His name!! So undeserving that's what we are. I love my Jesus!! Nothing else in this world has ever,or could ever love me like He does!

One eye open!

Wow! I have so got to slow down&work on just the most important tasks@hand... But life has a way of throwing curve balls in the mix... I need more than 3-4 hours of sleep at beST!

This am, taking my mother for a surgical procedure, follow up tomorrow, and another surgical procedure on the 16th of this month.

I was in so much pain@2am,had Steve&the girls pray over me. I honestly knew without the help of the Lord,I could not go today. My heart rate was up to 150 ....felt horid! Have had a rough go of it with my blood pressure&heart rate,with meds....just going to take some time to settle down'..it's all in Gods hands. My heart&my back.

Still working on the details of our school year, so much I want to do but know we can't do it all....so what we can,we can.! I always over plan ......there is just so much neat stuff to learn. The good Lord has just helped the theme,goal,and vision for this year to come&fit together as only He can.!
     
Steve found more of our old homeschool things from way back to our first year,WOW is an understatement....God has brought us so far. I'm so thankful for the awesome foundation He gave us in TN. The group we were in was amazing! It set the bar&have never wanted anything less. Am very encouraged to read back over those early lesson plans, I didn't have a clue what I was doing,or how to do it. Couldnt figure out how giving up my career would benefit our family,was an foreign concept to me. But ohhhhhhhh thank God He knew just how to help...and He did!! Steve being 100% involved has been a HUGE blessing!!!!!! To have my best friend,partner,to plan&dream for this journey!!

Well better get going, wow,didn't think of sharing all of that.... Maybe will share more later on..

Have a great day in the Lord!
