A Process of Change

Nov. 18, 2006

All Moved and lots more!

We are all moved in (mostly) . We do need to get a lot of furniture we have discovered though! That is kind of a nice problem to have though, since we haven't had any room for anything for so long!

We have a lot of stuff happen since the last time I posted. So I will do my best to catch up.

Jordan was found to have some kind of problem with his heart. There was a possibility of surgery and we were very worried. It turned out that, though he does have a valve problem and a small leak it shouldn't effect his life in any way and lots of people have the same problem and never know it. So that was a huge relief and a great time of praising God!

We lost another baby just two weeks ago. This time I was 18 weeks and the baby got to 14. Another boy we named Seth. And no I don't believe God is telling us not to have any more children. The amount of times I have heard that in the last two weeks is amazing! I get a bitbut I suppose people are only thinking of me. I had a lot of tests done (approx 25!) and the baby has has a few tests, we just have to wait to see if there are any answers. We may find out nothing but the Dr wants to figure it out as he has never seen this before ( three 2nd trimester loses in a row). I know, I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt though, that God is in control and He has His hand on me and my family. I know He was with me through the whole thing, even when it was really difficult. Sometimes God seems far away when stuff is happening and you feel out of control of everything but you know what? It is only because WE aren't in control that we feel the distance. He is there, just call. There will be peace beyond understanding. My Dad was saying how he is glad I  have a strong constitution to get through this last year. I can honestly say it has nothing to do with me. Jesus was with me even when I was angry with Him and I was questioning what was happening. The Lord is my peace and my strength. While I wouldn't want to have to go through this again ( I might have to though, there is no guarantee) I am grateful for the surety I have of God's guidance and strength.

 

We have a visit from the head education curriculum guy this week coming! Not too happy about it but I will be asking him exactly what he wants to see so that they will get off my back! Not in those words of course but I will be honest and say how annoying this is getting ( the constant visits) and how we have had an exceptional year maybe they could cut us some slack?! I don't think we will get any though so I had better be prepared for some humble pie I suppose. It doesn't taste nice but it is good for you! I have to say though that the boys reading has come along heaps. I jsut hope that this guy will see that and not just see all the ground that is still to be made up. I think I am going to move to Alaska!

 

I suppose I had better get going. I have church tomorrow and I have to go to the markets before that so I need some sleep!

This is a random pit stop and I just had to comment. No God ISN'T trying to tell you something. We live in a fallen imperfect world where life--and death--happens. Period. I have just gone through a year where I have lost my Mother, my Uncle, my cousin, two cats and two dogs. I could choose to believe that God is trying to tell me something--like life isn't sustainable around me--but that would be nonsense. It was their time to go and God has been my strength through it all--not because He wanted to teach me something. When life happens, it's nice to know that God is there as a buffer zone. Have a blessed day.
