Sunday

This week was my first week back at work after several weeks off.  September is beginning to become a hard time of year for me due to the extreme Summer here in sunny south Florida.  So it was my yearly week spent in the hospital and back home again to recuperate.  It was a so good to be back in my classroom with my little munchkins...they were so happy to see me.  Nothing like great big hugs from little ones to make you feel loved and appreciated. I am the only one up this Sunday morning as the kids and Tom had a late night watching movies and playing games.  I am enjoying the silence and my coffee.  It was a hard day yesterday~lots of pain from getting back into the swings of things at school.  I am going to simply spend the day taking it easy and getting ready for the week ahead.  Very thankful that Tom got an appointment with UPS tomorrow morning!  We have been praying that he would be able to get in for an interview.  So tomorrow at 6 am bright and early he will be meeting with them.  I continue to pray for my husband~that God will impress upon him that he has not been forgotten.  That God would allow him to see that he does indeed have a plan for his life~that he will continue to take our family through whatever he has allowed in our path.  So I continue to trust and look for the Lord to provide...and his provision has been consistent and good.  Watching Pastor Stanley this morning and he is saying that" every trial in our life has a divine prescription"...Count it all joy!  I am counting~and I am so very thankful that the God of creation loves me enough to continue to hold me up even when I don't think that I can keep going...that the God of heaven above loves me enough to give me the strength I need for another day.  Thank you Father for loving me.

God is Faithful~

God is forever faithful; in the big and small things of life.  Tom lost his job two weeks ago Friday..and to say this didn't send me into a tailspin would not be honest.  I saw it coming...and yet when it happens~well that is something all together different.  I began to pray...there are times throughout the day when my munchkins are napping and it is quiet and I sit there and pray and just talk to the Lord...telling him what is going on and how if it were  not for him; I would have lost it a long time ago.  So I began a job search and found one at a Christian school and I thought ok this is what God has for me.  Not the perfect school but more money.  Well~the Lord had other plans...plans that I could not see....I was offered a good raise to stay right where I am with a job that is five minutes from my home.  God is good!  He is faithful; even when I have lost hope.  I know that I cannot see the big picture and the reason for all the twists and turns but he does and in his time; it will be revealed.  I ask each day for the strength and energy I need to get through and he has provided.  I have asked for continued provision and he has provided...I know that he will continue to walk with me through this bumpy ride and he will continue to guide and direct me steps.  It hasn't been easy and there are days I am overwhelmed but he continues to provide me the comfort that can only be given by him...and for that I am so very thankful.
