Wher in the world is .....
Sometimes, as you sit at a blank page, you have no idea where to start!!
If your fears and anxieties are written for the eyes of others, you feel they may perceive you as weak! If you paint a rosy picture, you may portray life as something alot more normal than it actually is.
Through words, we cannot see each others tears or even concerns about life (yes, we are human as well as Christians that learn to trust God!!) We can paint what we desire at the touch of a keyboard!!
And, since the truth is surfacing, I felt my blog was not interesting enough to have faithful readers!
We have had about nine months of hardship to this point. The building industry is slow --- makes for an interesting life in many ways!! We girls have pitches in and have jobs to help fill in the gap. Yes, hubby is working , but we have about 1/4 the work we did have. And, if it seems trusting God for provision is an issue, HE reminds me daily He is in control---the refrigerator broke, tires need to be bought, a retainer is broken, a lingual wire is broken.....the list goes on....
But, I do see God's goodness and mercy in everyday life.
And yes, I can praise HIM!!
Another blessing is the story of #4 getting a college scholarship. Of course, it is only a partial payment, so he are praying for direction ....God opened the doors beyond human comprehension, so HE alone will get the glory for provision ---he will have to provide all the monies necessary! I keep plodding forward by filling our necessary forms, paperwork, applications.....the list is unending.

Yes, there are issues along the way I will not discuss, but there are blessings, such as godly teen girls that have befriended my daughters, that have been such a gap-filler in their lives. I am thankful that God provided these girls to encourage them in their walk. I am looking forward to this continuing for many years!!
I also have been blessed to get paid for a wedding I was coordinator for ....R was the reception coordinator, but we all helped (plus a couple of friends!!)---and M got paid as a musician!
Sometimes, though, marriage counselling can grate on you. We also have the privilege to counsel a bride to be. We took enough money to have a play day with her, and God blessed our friendship and fellowship. We were able to encourage her to move back home and allow God to heal her family relationship. I realize some of my heartache along the way God is using to help others see the cause/consequences of choices!! Praise the Lord.....however, we all cried when we hugged her goodbye this week!!
God is good. I do not know where my steps will go ---He is leading -my job is to continue.....and I do know that in the midst, I have hope.
