I am the wife of a soldier, and the mother of two little ones (ages 3 and 1). I am passionate about my God, my family, and my country. I chose the title for my blog because I started it around the time that we found out my husband would be going to Iraq. I am so proud of his service to our country. Also I am constantly striveing to become more like christ. Hence the title "passionate patriot conforming to 'His' image.
I will be ordering some more Thoene books to read
Jan. 29, 2008~ Finally, a ray of sun in the clouds. ~
My dd has been throwing up every night since wednesday. I have had no energy, and have been a walking Zombie. We have had 2 trips to the doctor, and one trip to the E.R. (dehydration) Finally, last night, she went all night without throwing up. PTL! I actually woke up this morning with enough energy to get caught up on my mountain of laundry. (most of it bedding that she threw up all over) I also got the bills paid, and the bedroom picked up.
I have been dealing with some major depression this week, but I keep holding on. I know that I can get through this, because I can do all things through God who gives me strength. With God all things are possible.
My dd is still acting very tired and weak, but I am praying that she is on the mend, and that there will be no throwing up tonight either.
Thank you Lord that you always walk with me through my valley's, and teach me valuable lessons in the process.
Thank you Lord that when you delivered me from depression all those years ago, that you gave me lessons I can cling to when that ugly monster again tries to rear its head.
I would like to leave you with some of my favorite parts of Psalms 42. I prayed this Psalm many times when I was dealing with some dark years of depression in my life.
Psalms 42:5-6a
"Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God."
"By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me-
A prayer to the God of my life."
