Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

[Wannabefree]

My hubs always calmly (and annoyingly at times, because I'm a worrier and a "need to do something"er like I think you might be) says that "everything will all work out". It will

Worry/immediate urge to take action....is my secret super power!
I was unaware others had those powers! How many of us are there?!

Thanks marianne!

Just remember, God never throws something at you w/out knowing how it's all going to work out. Matthew 6:33 still applies, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. And, 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempteed above that ye are able; but will with teh temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. And, Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Remember the children of Israel in the desert? They had their backs to the Red Sea, and the Egyptian army was coming to destroy them. Moses told them, Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. And what happened? The sea parted and they were saved. God specializes in impossible situations. Nothing is too hard for Him.

Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose
Also to help with worrying- Romans 8:31 what shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Matthew 6:34 take no thought for the morrow for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind
I hope these help some. They really help me when things are looking gloomy. Try to remember that it is all in His hands not yours and lay it all at His feet. Let Him carry the burden for you and have faith. When there is nothing you can do then maybe it's Him reminding you to live by faith.

Yeah God is yelling at me right now to walk by faith. I can't do anything about any of this alone. I know that. We have been praying about it and in the end it will work out the way it is supposed to work out.

I think I almost wanted to hyperventilate over the idea of more paperwork though. I have written the equivalent of a novel in the last few weeks for Child Services, and I know this will require another one. And 50 more phone calls sitting on hold for an hour, and about 20 more "necessary" unnecessary trips to town to drop off a piece of paper they need RIGHT NOW or pick up another form that they'll need RIGHT NOW in a couple more days only to be called tomorrow that it wasn't filled out right, or was the wrong form and we must hurry up and get it done and come pick up the correct one RIGHT NOW. *sigh* I really hate paperwork, especially government paperwork...it's the worst possible kind. It makes me anxious.

Wednesday is church and I am supposed to cook. Thursday is the pastors wifes Mary Kay party and then our last class that night. Friday is the Casting Crowns concert in Tupelo, and Saturday is the CPR medical certification and we're DONE with training Then the next week, we need to go up to Kentucky to visit the kiddos. I REEEEALLLLLY hope everything starts winding down after this. There are no more trips, no more classes, and no more parties/events/conventions/concerts to go to for a while. Thank The Lord! So maybe I can get a quick sample of normalcy before the next tsunami of change hits.

I have loads to do today, as usual. So I guess I should get on it. See you all later Have a great day!

I got a few things done today not much though I am losing my motivation because these crazies I live with just keep making more and more messes and I can't maintain AND get the other things done that I need to get done!!!!!!! There I said it! Just for ONE week I wish they could pick up after themselves, stop using SO many dang towels, and QUIT being so darn needy for two seconds. I'm about to quit cooking for a few days and let them scrounge too So Thursday I am taking a break. Bro J. called and wants me to ride with him to town to pick up some food to deliver anyway, so I will do that, then go to the Mary Kay party for an hour or so, THEN to class. Then start back Friday before the concert. I almost wish we hadn't bought those tickets now :/ The next morning we have to be back at class at 8 and its an hour away. The concert is an hour the other direction, and will run late. I'm gonna be so tired, and DH will probably sleep through half the class Oh well..........who knew?!
