Being Busy

I thought I'd update real quick. Life has been B-U-S-Y! I went home last week to help Mom and Dad move. It was nice to be able to help them! It did, however, make me feel so very behind in my life here. I have a ton of schoolwork to do and what feels like not enough time to actually do it well. It will get done. I know that. Somehow. Someway. Maybe if I stop reading blogs. LOL We also skipped a week of Gracie's schooling. Now we have to make that up. Or not. I am TRYING to take it day by day. Like Jesus tells me to. I know better than to worry about tomorrow. He will take care of me. He will give me just the right amount of time and brain energy to do my homework. So maybe I should just delete all this...despite all the "behindness" I feel, I did enjoy seeing my loves. I got to see lots of friends! I love friends. I love family. I really like those little pills my mom gives me to make me sleep too :) And the smell of coffee made my someone other than me. And the precious giggles of my girls and their cousins. I miss that. All of that that I got to be a part of for the week. AND we got some really great pictures taken!! woohoo!! I'll share when I get the password. I cant wait! *her blog is now in the sidebar and there are some preview pics on there...

In the midst of all the moving festivites, Ray (the sweet sweet husband my my best friend) worked on my car. And I mean woooooooooooorrrked. It feels like a new car, and the blessing of that is just not measurable!

Speaking of blessings...let me tell you about mine last week. God has really shown Himself to us in the past couple of months. Things have been...hard. And that is putting it lightly. Last Monday was one of the worst days. We were both ready to quit. I cried all day. Cam was down. It was just a bad day. Then I lost my iPod. Silly I know. But I called Cam and just started to cry. I couldnt stop. It was that thing that just put me over the top. I started to whine (let the devil win right here) about how I had to give up everything. My car...my house...my family...my friends...my tv...and now my iPod. REALLY God?! Really?? I was not focusing on Who I should have been, and my day reflected that. Well, as I was leaving class Monday night, I got a text. From Shawna. My sister. It said to call her. I did. She said that she had won something and she wanted to give it to me. To make my day better. It is a flat screen tv!! A 32in one. And then when I got home, I found my iPod in Camerons truck! And I just cried. And cried. And recognized that the Lord was choosing to bless me. He was showing me His love in ways that were not "needs". He gave me what I prayed for, what I wanted. He spoiled me. Because He loves me that much, even when I have bad days and lose my focus. What an AWESOME God we serve!! And what an amazing family and group of friends I have that they listen when He leads them to do things. I am blessed. Very Very Much.
