Chaos

Posted in Family

I'm sure everyone has their own life filled with chaos. I have such chaos in my life recently that I am so ready for some peace.

You may have heard of the movie, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", we have had Four Funerals and a Wedding in the past five months. While I haven't watched the movie, my own life has been topsy turvy since last summer especially since August.

My father passed away in August, the only daughter of one of my husband's bosses passed away in October, my mother in law passed away in December, Our oldest daughter was married in January and the father of another of my husband's bosses passed away in February.

Sunday has always seemed like the close of the past and the beginning of the new with me. I finish off my week or put a close to it on Sunday and I start the new week also on Sunday. I feel so refreshed and ready for the week after going to church and feel drained and withdrawn when I miss.

This coming Sunday is the start of a new week and new month. I like to think of a new beginning too. I would like to go through the rest of this year without anymore sadness, illness or tramadic events. I would like to see happiness, peace, things falling into place, and great things take place.

My husband's birthday is Monday. I am planning a nice dinner and family time. We all have to watch our budgets but I think we also need to make sure we don't forget to do all we can to live. Spend time with your friends, your family, your self and especially with God.

I have a busy year this year but I am trying to get my self organized so I can have "Me Time" along with spending time with family and friends but most especially with God.

I started a Bible study on Daniel. It is a Beth Moore Bible Study, which I will write more later. I wanted to share that with this study I have learned that 1. We can be delivered FROM the fire 2. We can be delivered THROUGH the fire (or) 3. We can be delivered BY the fire. God has gotten my family and I though so much these past five months. I praise His name. I could not haven't gotten through my dad's death and funeral or my daughters wedding without Him. Nor could my husband have gotten through his mother's death and funeral without Him. God is faithful and is with us through our trials and tribulations. He is with us in the fire.

About Me

. I have been home schooling our children since 1992. My oldest graduated in May 2008 from Northern Kentucky College. My second oldest is still in college. I am still homeschooling my only son and youngest daughter. With many ups and downs both in home schooling and life in general we keep moving forward with the Lords guidance and strength. I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13. I am very busy with volunteering and helping where I can. I am a leader in our local American Heritage Girls Scouting Organization. My youngest daughter is in the American Heritage Girls and my son is in the Boy Scouts. I believe it is important to help others when you can but most important is family. The 23rd Pslam is my favorite even though I have many favorites I know that when I recite or read the 23rd Pslam I feel such a closeness with God. I feel like this Pslam is a comfort for me like a child’s security blanket. I am a Precious One to my Lord and he is with me always. I chose Precious One as my user name to remind me that in God’s sight I am His Precious One and to let you all know that your too are Precious to the Lord.
