Uncertain times in Life

Ups and downs

downs and ups

Sometimes life feels like a roller coaster ride

Not knowing what tomorrow may bring.


Life has been a bit like this lately for me.

New things

exciting things

scary things

and then

not really knowing what is coming around the corner

but staying peaceful....


Grace fills my heart

knowing the Lord is leading

Yep...there may be things I might not want to happen

but then it might just happen


This week is going to be extra busy

I'm getting the kids schooling ready and the panicky feeling is hitting home

ok...not home per se

but my insides...yeah, I'm peaceful about the bigger picture of my life

Summer is ending for us

 I feel like I didn't really get that much done.

I did enjoy it very much though...it's been so refreshing to

 CHILL



Still things remain unfinished

thus the panic

I have many plans and hoping I can get those to happen

We'll see....


School will start (hopefully) next week...

that's if everything goes as planned. 

Not sure though...not sure! 

ha ha ha


Hubby's been working out of the house lately so my computer access has been limited

maybe that's a good thing...

Things can get done around here. 

He's revamping his business

just hoping things work out for us...

yep...even in uncertain times

peace remains in my heart

I have been feeling a little bit like that too. Times like these are great opportunities to lean on God.

Blessings! xox

Aren't you thankful for Jesus during these hard times, knowing that He is with us and we aren't alone...that's where the peace comes from!

Do you have everything you need for this next school year? I totally understand that panicky feeling! It happens when I sit down to plan, but slowing starts going away as the words get on the paper and out of my brain! It's a big job! I know you'll do great!

love and hugs,

Definitely feel closer to the Lord in trying and uncertain times. I find it's very important too to not let my heart wander when I'm facing uncertainty.

be blessed,

Oh yes, God has used those times to help me rest in Him. What amazes me now, with my hubby gone, is I don't feel like I have to "try" and have peace. He just gives me peace. All the worries I have, don't seem so big or bothersome as He allows me (not that I'm so strong or filled with a great faith) to trust in HIM completely!

What a great God!!

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

My heart is sad...

Last night a local family in our small town lost 5 of their children to a house fire.  This was just down the road from where we are currently living.  My heart totally aches for this family.  I don't know much about them other than what I have heard from the new reports.  I am assuming she was a single mother because there was no mention of a father in the home.  I think it said she was staying with her mother (the children's grandmother) and her younger sister (the children's aunt--a 21 yr. old) My husband was driving home from work late last night when he saw police cars speeding by.  All he could do was pray not knowing there was a family being lost to a fire that very moment.   We didn't find out what happened until this morning.  From what I read was that they think the space heater caused the fire.  The home was an older wood-framed house probably without central heating.  The mothe...

A Very Quick Update on the Move

Hey All... Here's a quick update on what's been going on since my last post.  Well....we are moved in for the most part.  I still need to go back to the old house and clean, clean, clean.   Lots of cleaning... I wish I had the pictures to show you how much of a mess we all made while living there for 4 years.   Those pictures will have to wait for another post. I was also thinkin'... Boy how much STUFF do 10 people need.   I don't see myself as a clutter-bug...pack rat... I am always ridding my house of stuff.... Actually, to much stuff makes me hyper-ventilate.  I've been having a bit of moving anxiety lately.   I get these waves of panic.  Thank God they don't last long.   Oh...and please don't worry about me... I am not depressed or having panic attacks.  :) but you can pray though I think it's a mixture of the normal moving blues mixed with hormones of an almost 40 year old.   Gosh... c...
