Going through life I believe you can look at things two ways...kinda a glass half full, half empty view. But, as a Christ believer, I feel you can continue to be angry or find the blessings. This "process" of building our own house has had it's share of anger and joy. I'd like to share with you a "Joyous" one.
We're building the roof and it's kinda high up there. We needed a lift and at the rental place it was $160 a day, or $1400 a month. Ouch! We needed this life...and when I say "needed" it's not like we "NEED" to go out to dinner...but NEED it like we need to eat. It's necessary for the process to finish this house. So, we prayed, and believe that God would provide the money. THEN...
I came home one day to see a lift, sitting in the driveway, just sitting there. Skye's brother has a friend who has one, loaded it up, and dropped it off for us, for as long as we need it. REALLY?? I just can't help but be so grateful!
Our little babies are growing up. My Sweet Zoey is 9...that's almost a decade we've had the blessing of being her parents. I can not even believe just how awesome it is to be her mom. She's amazingly smart, shes funny and kind. She's a joy.
Allie bug's birthday is coming up and she will be 7. She's a blessing in the fact that she radiates joy. She's sweet, goofy, and beautiful inside and out. She was just nicknamed "Red Lightening" because she's SO fast.
Today is my baby boys 3rd birthday. He is an answer to prayer, a real true joy, and always good for a laugh. He's is father's son, and he is amazing.
We start homeschooling in a couple weeks. It's a huge "taxing" task that I continue to doubt, but still keep pushing on. I know this is what God has me to do, even though I keep trying to get out of it. I am excited tho, because there seems to be so much here to really dig into our lives.
I bought a sign that is hanging in my kitchen and I look at it over and over again to reassure myself of the truth:
"May You Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be!" WE am blessed!!!

The sign in my kitchen says, "It hard to raise a family, especially in the mornings." ;) So good to hear all the good!
