Trying to stay positive . . .

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I am so trying to stay positive right now, but I am in so much pain. I got sick right after finishing emptying Chrystal's house it has been over a week. Then a couple days later, a week ago I popped several ribs out that the chiropractor can not manage to keep in. I see her again tomorrow, please pray that they will stay in.

Beyond exhaustion

Sunday, April 14, 2013

Nutshell version

Josiah Allen

Born April 10,2013 sometime around 10 am.
Weighed in at 8 pounds 15 ounces 21 1/2 inches long.



Start caring for twins while continuing packing up their house to move.
4/11 daddy, mommy and baby released and move in with us.

4/12 dd and three grandson arrive to help, so we now have three two year olds helping.

My 94 year old aunt dies.

4/13 move day to new town for belongings get back home just before midnight.

Tomorrow, baby's daddy goes back to work, hubby goes to Montana to work and I continue caring for twins, mommy, baby and finish packing/cleaning rest of house so renters can move in next weekend. They are also hoping to join daddy next weekend which also means unpacking the new house so mommy doesn't over do.

Also next week my sister-in=law fighting cancer has a transplant.

There have been sweet times with my all my grands singing to me as I drove them home late one night and then had to cook dinner for all at two different times.

This morning sermon on Job. I am suffering physically as well as spiritually right now and just have to work through some offenses I have taken up, so the emotional and spiritual exhaustion is also there. Thanks for the prayers I know that so many of my friends will immediately offer up for me when you read this. I appreciate and treasure all of you and can't wait to find time to Spark again.

4/15 update: house is empty ready for new occupants and I am really sick. Please pray that the little ones and new mommy again do not get sick.

    Keep praising God through it all. Job trusted God and came out with far more than he started with. You have a beautiful boy there. It is hard to see the blessing in the midst of exhaustion, but at the other end you will feel so wonderful and blessed that you were able to be there for everyone. Lord, I ask that you give Leona rest and encouragement. Comfort her in her losses and bless her socks off. Thanks you, Father.

Updates

Tuesday, April 09, 2013

Currently on baby watch. Baby is waiting on God's special timing. Sil is suppose to be closing on their house tomorrow. She gave him power of attorney so she can stay nice and close to the hospital. There is still so much to do before Saturday (aka moving day). She has made the decision that they will probably stay with us a couple of weeks after baby is born because of an outbreak of the RSV virus in the town they are moving to. I expect it to last a week or less. We have her room ready the mattresses washed that the twins are going to sleep on.

Click on the link for 16-month update on Noelle. God has done amazing things in her life.

Powerful Life Changing Video

Monday, March 04, 2013

Came across this video today and usually don't take the time to wait for it to download on my slow Internet connection. I am so glad I did today. This message is so powerful and just what I have been needing to here for awhile. I think it is about ten minutes long.

Now that you have listened to it what is your plan of action?

    If is wonderful that you chose to share that with us! Many people see God as weak when it comes to solving our problems or as distant when we are in the midst of a problem! (me too) But we forget that before we were created, HE IS! Every aspect of our world is a result of his power, wisdom and grace! As He waits for us to turn to Him for His solution to our problems, we struggle as though we are alone!

I will have faith that what I am going through is what it takes to chisel away what doesn't belong an realize that when He is done with me, that what will be left is His Master Piece!

The 1 thief next to Jesus admitted that his reason for being placed on the cross was for crimes he had committed! Jesus responded that on that day he would be with Him in Paradise!

I too recognize that the struggles of my life are due to my failures! I seek God's guidance daily and when the work is done, I know that what He had planned in the beginning will be what I shall receive in accordance with His grace and Love through Christ Jesus! I lay my burdens at His feet as I take up my cross to make the changes to become more like Him!

Thanks for sharing! Great inspiration and a wonderful reminder!
