• Friday, June 16, 2006 - What a Whiner!

Posted in homelife

Thanks ladies for you encouragement .  Y'know yesterday when I posted I was feeling so overwhelmed.   After I posted I went to the kitchen to clean up.  I was scrubbing a pan that I burned supper in two nights ago.  (It was STILL sitting there).  When I realized what a fool I was.  I thought of two of my friends who are going through some hard times. 

 

My friend J- homeschooling her 6 boys, ages 16 to 4.    A few weeks ago her husband is diagnosed with cancer in his kidney and there are some suspicious spots on his lungs.  He had his kidney out (second kidney seems fine).  Then they did tests on his lungs and yes it is also cancer.  They are out of town right now seeing specialists to decide what to do. 

 

Then there's my friend T - homeschooling her 5 kids ages 10 and down.  Her youngest was born with a deformed foot and ankle.  He is starting to pull up to stand and they have realized that his ankle will never support his wieght.  They had to make the hard decision to amputate his foot so that he will be able to get a prosthesis (sp?).  Can you imagine having to make the decision to voluntarily amputate your childs foot?!?  It is the best decision, he will now be able walk,  but it is a hard one. 

 

And here I am whining and feeling overwhelmed!!!!!!!  Excuse me?  Just who do I think I am?!!

Y'know... I bet we all have those moments. I certainly have had times of frustration when things weren't going well and I say "my life is so HARD!" Which is just laughable!
Don't be hard on yourself! Just say some prayers of thankfulness (and then some for your friends!). Which I'm sure you have done w/out my prompting! :-)

Oh! Please don't feel bad. We all need to vent and share our struggles- big or small, they still count. You should never hold those kinds of things in- although I do it myself all the time. We are only human and always remember that there is no concern or pain too big or too small for God- He cares about them all and He wants us to come to Him with them. And of course, He also gives us friends, also known as "His tools" (as we allow ourselves to be by being open to His love) to help each other.

You are not alone- I am feeling much the same. I see so much around me that i need to catch up on and it is overwhelming. We just need to keep at it, do our best and always ask God for help. And when needed- reach out to sisters in Christ for comfort and encouragement.

So sad to read about your friends !! Praying for God's healing and courage for them.

You are a child of God, and we all have those days when we are a wee bit frustrated. Don't be too hard on yourself.

BTW, how did both of these situations work out for your friends?

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
Is 54:13-14
