Jun. 7, 2008 - Seasons of Change
What's that old saying? "The only thing consistent in life is change". Yeah, that's my life in a nutshell. And while it's nice not being stuck doing the same old thing every single day, sometimes I wish that we had a little more of the same ol' same ol'. I suppose that life has it's seasons and there have been many times that I've whined about everything being it's same old boring self. I guess I'm just struggling with my life being so chaotic. It has been for some time. I try to roll with the punches and console myself that things will become more stable in time. But the months just keep dragging on and I'm getting a little discouraged. My only consolation is that the Lord is the ultimate scheduler of my days and that this is where He wants me right now. I look for the beauty in the chaos and see His hand moving in my life in the little things--our new kitties, messy toddler smooches, the frequent thunderstorms, and the many distractions that come my way through the day. Everything is filtered through the Lord's loving hands. Each moment a precious gift--crazy as it is.
Our friend Chuck has accepted our job offer to come bail us out of the mess we've made in our business life. 
Steve hates and avoids paperwork whereas Chuck loves it. Our books are "messy" and he's going to help us clean things up. It feels good to have some help but it's going to take time and effort to get things to where they need to be. I'm hoping to work myself out of a job with the new computer program that we've bought. Chuck should be able to coordinate it all and everything should work smoothly without me needing to be here in the office so much. It will be good to focus my time and energy on the home and children again. Much has slipped through the cracks that need my attention. I look forward to the challenge.
With the economy being the way it is, I don't see how we will be able to take a vacation this year--either as a family or just Steve and I. I'm missing the quiet grand beauty of the beach and I feel terrible knowing that we aren't going to make it there this year unless something really wonderful happens. So I'm holding out hope!!

We are holding out for hope as well. We actually have a vacation planned for next October but I am worried that we won't actually be able to pull it off. Time will tell.
Blessings,
Dawn
