Praise you Lord in ALL things

Jesus is AWESOME! Crappy days happen and through the Lord they get better and we move on. Help comes in wonderful ways and in ways you would never expect. Oh, random note, I got a bicycle! Its purple of course, picture to come later. Anywho, I am believing God for no more crappy days and the strength to praise through them with new and increased zeal.

Crappy Day

Its only 9:30 am and I am already having a crappy day, how does that work? Why can't everyone just pull their own weight and work as a team?? Its not that I'm doing it all, not by a long shot, but the improvements I'm trying to make for the FAMILY and HOUSEHOLD are not being kept up by anyone but me, its makes me want to quit again! Support is key and I don't feel like I have any right now, around here anyway. I can't quit though, it would make me crazy, I tried that before and it didn't work to light a fire under anyone's butt so I'm out of ideas. I'm resolved to do what I can and the rest will just have to wait until another day. So a warning and apology ahead of time if you come to my house: its a mess but its getting better, its not dirty just cluttered, I try to put my kids and family before an orderly house so if thats a problem we'll meet somewhere. I am learning and we're in transition to an orderly home but its a learning process for all 5 of us which is going to take 5 times longer than if it were just us. Thanks for letting me rant. Encouragement is always welcome since its usually pretty scare. Pray that anyone who reads this has a blessed NOT crappy day!

Hallelujah!

So, quick update on my health. After much prayer by many family and friends we had breakthrough and I am feeling quite a bit better! Thank you Jesus! We also had breakthrough with Mayo and are heading up there the end of the month for about a week or so.

We had a GREAT time with Judah at Dog Days of Summer and saw a bunch of grown bulldogs! They were all super cute and the kids LOVED getting to pet all different types of dogs and all sizes too. Joshua loves the really bug Newfoundland we saw that was bigger than him but also ran to give a kiss on the nose to a tiny Pomeranian, so cute. Hope of course was constant "puppy, puppy, puppy" in her low, raspy, super excited voice. Noah was more concerned with the jump house and games but thankfully with Gamma and Papa there we were able to let everyone have a good time and we all shared lemonade, funnel cake, and snow cones under the shade trees. If you haven't made it out there before you should go next year, it is a great event even if you don't have dogs. A word to the wise: go early before it gets hot, I mean HOT!!

Until next time....may the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you
