Life gets crazy sometimes!
Life can turn a corner sometimes that throws you for a loop and when you stop spinning, you aren't real sure which way you are facing!!! LOL
That's been my life for a week and a half.... But I am hear to report that God is STILL good and that He is STILL on His throne (as my God-fearing momma always reminds me!)
Nothing tragic has happened... just a bunch of STUFF all at once that has required me to spend extreme amounts of time and energy doing things that I normally don't have to do! And then the Christmas season on top of all of that!!! LOL But through it all, I have had an extreme amount of peace over the whole situation, more patience with the kiddos who are just along for the ride and needing more assurance right now, more calm and gentleness in my tone with my hubby.... we truly are each other's best friend and that has been such a BLESSING during the extra stress and uncertainties!
I pray that anyone reading that is facing added difficulties during this season will find HIS peace, HIS patience, and HIS calm and gentleness to carry you through.... We aren't made up of just the fun, content, satisfying stuff that comes along occassionally, but our true selves are what we are in the midst of the storm, the trial, the uncertainties of life.... May I (and you) be found faithful!!!
Praying for you all,
Patti

Noooooooooooooooooo kidding! I completely understand. I just wish that those times when I totally freak out that I would just stop long enough to allow God to show me the peace that is always there just waiting for me if I'd just lean on Him!!! Glad y'all are well. Your green gal pal, :)Michelle

Bunches of stuff.
Posted by Jaimers
I can handle the big stuff (death, birth, etc), it's the little bunches of stuff (kids sick, car trouble, finances) that drives me insane. So I can relate.
Your blog is such a delight to read. Thanks.

Merry Christmas! Passing along my favorite Christmas song
Posted by teachermom2boys
"O holy night the stars ar brightly shining, it is th enight of the dear Saviours birth; long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices O night divine, o night when Christ was born! o night o holy night, o night divine!
P.S. we can only see half of your post on your blog :{

Hope things got a little less hectic. No one likes to go through hard times, but it seems that it's there that I do my best growing (that must be where the term "growing pains" comes from) ;) .

I hope things have slowed down for you since the start of the new year! No matter which direction you are facing after your spin just keep your eyes on Him!
