• Ever been at the end of your Rope...hanging by a thread???

  I have to say I've been there more times than I'd like to have been, with one of them being recently. Why oh why do some things have to be so hard? Then I do the look around comparing thing (which the Bible says NOT to) at other people (MOMS) and wonder how they seem to have it all together!  

  So Why do we doubt so? We look at out situation and scheme all the ways we could work it out , (or couldn't) when the whole time our Loving Father has it under control, has the answer, has it worked out in a way that we couldn't have possibly DREAMED, because HE is so amazing!  Romans 8:28 is the verse about all things working together for Good to them...MY DAD must have quoted that verse to me 100's of times growing up! NOW I quote it back to him!

  So now for whats been recent in my Life, I've been talking to DH alot lately telling him of all that is wrong till I'm sure he's about Blue in the face listening, and on top of all that I got news Sat evening of my nephew Nate being in a nasty motorcycle wreck (racing and ramping). I'm normally shy about asking for prayer at church, but this time I really felt the Lord prompting me to go. Pastor prayed with me, and I can't really explain it but I'm sure there are those of you that has had a similiar experience, I in the middle of that prayer had the PEACE and ASSURANCE that God was working in my situation, and that it was going to work out!  God is so GOOD!

  Now to back up a little bit, I met with a friend over the weekend also, to TALK. Once again, there had been some ideas floating around in my mind, that I hadn't shared with anyone, and thru our talking, God gave me some confirmations about them. Isn't that WILD?! Isn't our Lord so exciting!

  I had to share all that with you and how I'm feeling that (sloppy wet kiss) from God feeling right now, as in that song HE loves me oh how he loves me, sorry can't recall who it is by right now, but it is a fairly new Worship song.

  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, spent with our best family like friends. My girls and I and our friend, braved the black Friday shopping at Walmart thanksgiving Night!   Then on Sat we took a family day trip over to Destin where we visited Santa at Bass Pro Shop! We got a good start on C-shopping and once again DH's closet is full of hiding presents!   I am not a take your time all thru Dec. kind of shopper, I want to get it done and wrapped under the tree! Then I like to spend the the rest of the month doing fun little crafts with the girls, some baking, some going to Christmas events  and focusing on the Birth of Christ . That last line there may sound like I'm trying to be a goody goody, but truly speaking, it is hard with all the STUFF of the season to keep my focus straight, so I'm TRYING!!!

  Pics to come next when I can put my hands on the camera again!  it just seemed to wander around the house sometimes! LOL   Have a Great Day!   ~Jill~
