God is good, ALL the time

So we've been out of touch for a while now.  No excuses or explanations this time, I'm just thankful to have made it through this last shift we went through with my family, my sanity, and a little bit of joy.  One word sums it up: Sonic.  As much as I hated this brief stint, it seemed never-ending at the time, hindsight is 20/20 and I learned a lot.  

I learned that I can handle my children and my household on a day to day basis as needed and do a good job by myself.

I learned how much I miss my husband when he's not here and how much I appreciate what he does when he is here.

I learned to be patient and wait on the Lord, that He really is ALWAYS faithful (that's one of those things you know but at times wonder)

I learned that the phrase "this too shall pass" applies to even the most bleak and hopeless looking situations.

I was reminded that staying in God's timing brings blessing upon blessing and makes things much easier in the long run.

I now know that we are doing what God wants us to do, at least for right now, and we are moving forward in joy and peace and blessing.

So, to sum it up, no more Sonic, whoo hoo!!  The next chapter has just begun.....more to come soon.
