Last night I was very tired yet Brian still fell asleep before I did. This morning his alarm went off at 4am and I have been up since.
Last night before going to sleep I started having those thoughts that creep in from time to time thinking about something fatal happening to my children. I hate those thoughts. The fear and pain those cause are silly, aren't they? My children are fine right now. I shouldn't think about what could happen and focus on enjoying the present.
Yet I do occasionally.
I had to use the only weapon I have and that was to think about how great God is and soon enough I was asleep. But here this morning my thoughts drift again......
So many people need prayer. A friend's son in Texas. A little girl's teacher in Arkansas. A mom fighting stage four breast cancer in Maryland. And all of the "little" things that happen to us all every day that can affect our lives and effect others. (I hope I used the "e" and "a" in the right place.)
I ask you to pray for someone else today. Pray for someone you know who is sick. Someone you know who is scared. Someone you know who is hurting. And then give praise in all things.
And isn't that the toughest part of all?
Finally got caught up on your blog. Love the game pictures. Wow! Hasn't time just flown??? Love the dress you made for Ruth! So sorry to hear about your pains over looking for a new church. It's hard because it's like looking for a new family. I'm praying that you guys will find a place where the style is right, the people are loving and welcoming and like-minded, and where you can be challenged to grow! Loved all the updates. Your kids are so so cute!
