End to another week~

"Do Not Grow Weary"......

I am so trying to remember this as time goes by without Tom having employment. He has sent out so many resumes.....and each time he gets an email or call our hopes perk up and than .....Nothing~ We know God has a plan for us...what it is I am not sure but we know there's a plan. I keep trying to keep everything in perspective~ there are so many people we know in our position or worse. I am grateful for many things though~ I have a husband who is not a quitter and is a hard worker...a man that loves his family and although not perfect and grumpy at times...I can be too~ Our children are well adjusted especially for all that they have experienced. I am thankful that we home school that in itself has given us such flexibility that we are really able to roll with the punches. The Lord has been extremely merciful where my father is concerned..he is a walking miracle for all that his body has been through~ My grandma God bless her is an absolute pip! She is so loved~ Grandma calls everyone baby and darlin and is always testifying to God's greatness. She is a real inspiration. And I have to praise God that He continues to take me through my health challenges and keeps me going with energy when I need it and lets me rest when that is needed.

Pressing on~

This is the day that the Lord has made...I will rejoice and be glad in it!

It was a late...late morning and a late night~ Enough said! But~ Today is a new day and with God's grace it will be a new beginning to a new day and new week. I have Gabby at the table doing her schoolwork and Tom is cleaning out our desk in the bedroom...Thank you Lord! It was beginning to take over our room~ Austin and Manda are still down for the count. Austin has suffered a bit of a setback with his anxiety disorder but we are battling on....bless his heart the child gets up no matter what time of the day and starts his chores and schoolwork. Mandy is battling a bug and she shared she is depressed...can't blame her...it is a lot to deal with here but she too is trying to press on. I am feeling better than I have in days if only a bit tired but it is a great improvement I am experiencing from last week! So I press on toward the goal~ Thank you Lord for your mercies and kindness even when I am not faithful.
