Come sit with me... Tell me your story... I know you have one.... We ALL have a story to tell... Tell me of your trials and triumphs, your heartaches, your joys!
I wish I could sit with you all.... hear your stories.. How God has changed your life... How when you finally just gave up and handed it over what amazing things started happening in your lives! I want to hear them all! I want to share in your glorious transformations! Your stories give me hope, strength, inspiration!
Is it not amazing how God loves us!
Oh Friends... My poor husband is still struggling! How I hate to see him broken like this! How can I stay strong? I am praying and praying and trying so hard ! What more shall I do? I fear he will lose his mind if he does not have a job offer soon... and it has only been a week. He spends hours every day, (And night!) searching, calling everyone he knows ....I try not to get caught up in his worry but I am HUMAN!
Please God! Send him some Peace of mind and Heart!
I am comforted by our Lord, I am sure that all will be okay in the end.. But I cannot portray this to him.
I fear that this is between He and God and that I cannot push this upon him any more... That it is a Peace he must come to on his own as he struggles through....
I have to break in this for a moment and laugh... my two teenage daughters, Carli (17) and Sydnee (15) are doing P90X behind me in Sydnees room for the first time... Carli,( the cheerleader..). coaching poor Sydnee ( the writer...) It is quite entertaining... Lets see if they make it through!
I,myself,am taking a break from the lo carb diet in favor of the stress diet( not really by choice!)My mind and my Body seem to be on different playing fields... although in my mind I am calm my body sometimes is a churning mass of nerves! If I find myself with any idle time at all... I start over-thinking... I guess God put me back to work full time just in time... Funny how things work out that way... I don't really have time to worry between working, running the store and trying to keep these kiddos entertained.
We are all taking a short trip to Mall of America this week.. just a short overnight-er... but as I have stated in the past... I prefer the overnight trips... too many days away from home does me no good!
So we will take a little breather...have some fun away from home and hopefully get Mark some stress relief! (my ultimate goal!!! Have him forget for a minute!)
I love my life. I love where I am right now.. and I know it is only going to get better.. I have faith.. Whatever lessons we need to learn,we will learn...As long as we have faith and keep our focus on God... He will never let us down...That is awesome... I am so happy to be able to share with you... and I hope you can share with me... I want to hear... I want to know what Jesus has placed in your heart...
As we walk through life, looking around us, and maybe maybe just wanting to feel sorry for ourselves... take a deeper look... look at the homeless man on the corner... look at your neighbor who is hurting... think of the struggles of those all around us... I can tell you, as I have before,, we all have them.... all of us...... Someone may be going through something you never even will know about.. and those kind of struggles... those kind of things where someone feels as if they can't share their burden... those are the ones we need to become more sensitive too...
I promise...as you help others... take the focus off yourself... and put that energy into someone else... you will feel a different kind of satisfaction. Of Happiness....
But first... you must fill yourself up with Jesus... For without him... you are of no good to anyone.

Thank you friends.. for once again sharing this time with me... It has been nice talking to you once again...Thank you for sharing some of MY burden... for listening to me ... for taking the time to care...

Defining Moment.....having your kids help out with everything that needs to be done... with love in their hearts..and thankfulness on their lips...... Is there anything more you could possibly ask for?
Jesus...Thank you for changing MY LIFE!
