Smiling

Sometimes in life we get so busy- so overwhelmed so stressed we miss an opportunity to be thankful of what God has brought us through

Last night I was reminded as I was able to give some resources out in which we have used in the past-
Which made me look back on my blog here and be overwhelmed at where God has brought us through and to. He is truly Faithful-

I sit and am amazed at the hand He had in all we dealt with- it was not pleasant- but I learned so much

He gives us strength in our circumstances- He guides us and directs us - He gives us wisdom and discernment when we need it.
He allows people to come in our lives just at the right time to help us through those times-

I have learned that one of my sayings is true- and never really grasped it until more recent years- I would always be the one saying You are never alone- we are truly never alone- God has His hand upon our lives at all times we just need to be willing to trust Him and have faith in Him.

Lately this is what He is showing me- to trust Him- ( I have and will continue to do so) to slow down before I react to the circumstances I maybe going through

Recently I had a health scare ( or should i say a heart scare)- yep - did not share with too many- but I was not alone in the situation- He was with me- He allowed people in my life to be there for me-for us. He had it under control - he gave me wisdom and guidance through the whole thing. Oh i was a little on edge but knew it would work out- why cause He is the one who is greater then all things. Health issues- he has got it- financial issues easy as pie for Him- children concerns- oh he most definitely has that in His Hands.

So before you react take a step back and breathe and realize He has this under control- I am reminding myself of this daily -

end of the school year end of an era

well- i am glad to say the school year is over and marcus did very well- honor roll all year long- now for the summer- youth camp- last few track meets- maybe a sports camp- working out with mom and keeping the house tidy while i am at work. he begins 8th grade- we had a bumpy road last year with dealing with bullying from others but we made it through

so proud of him

now on to some sad news- we said goodbye to our beloved Isaac today- breaks my heart- he has been there through it all with me- through everything with marcus - he was always there- marcus' first dog ever- he will surely be missed and there is a hole in my hear today
