Why do we have sad days????
So I was sitting here at my computer tonight, and I have to say that I have a very heavy heart. Usually writing helps me, so I thought I would jot a few things down, and maybe that will help me. I am not to sure why it is that I have such a heavy heart tonight, but I do. There are so many things that seem to be bothering me, and I can't pinpoint one thing...does that make sense?? Don't know what it is. I guess I just feel as though I can't accomplish anything, and yet I know that's not true. Do you ever just feel that there are days where you simply don't measure up? I guess that is the kind of day that I am having right now. I really don't know how to fix it, except for to offer it up to the Lord, and know that He will help me through this trial, and know that tomorrow is a new day. I sure hope it's a better day, Friday's HAVE to be better....don't they????
I know it's been a while....
OK so I realize that it has been a while since I last posted...sorry. We have been busy around here. We were on vacation for just about 2 weeks, and let me tell you....VACATION STUNK!!!! As much as I was looking forward to it, it was horrible. I really didn't have a good time and in a lot of ways I feel as though we wasted a lot of money going on vacation. We went to El Paso, which is where we are originally from, for our Church's 50th anniversary. As far as that was concerned, we had a great time with the people from the Church, and Chris got to Preach there, which I must say that he did an EXCELLENT job!! So as far as that was concerned we had a great time with that, it was everything else that wasn't good. I have never felt more un-welcomed in my whole life as I did this trip going back "home." I can't help but wonder...if we wouldn't want God to treat us that way, why do we treat others that way?? It was very hurtful being treated the way that we were, and I can pretty much say that I am done going back there for a while. As much as I will miss seeing the people in the Church there, I am not going back, unless an emergency should arise. So as much as I was looking forward to going on vacation, I am not so glad that we were gone. Yes, it was nice to get away, and as far as that's concerned, that was nice, but vacation wasn't all I thought it was going to be, that's for sure.
When we got home we hit the ground running, and began fund-raising for our teens to go to Youth Conference. We are planning on taking them in the month of August to Kentucky, and we have to raise money to get there. So far we aren't doing the best. We know that if the Lord wants us to go there, then we will be able to raise the money. We are going to have a car wash on the 22nd of July, and hopefully we will raise some good money there. It's been rough, businesses aren't to interested in helping us this year. It's all in the Lord's hands and we know that it will all work out, some way, some how.
My hubby is sick right now...Dr. thinks it is his gallbladder. He is in a lot of pain, so hopefully we will find out what it is soon, and he can get it taken care of. We are waiting to hear back from the Dr. sometime today hopefully. I feel so bad for him, and I hate to see him sick. So hopefully something will be done soon.
I am a little discouraged right now, and I hate feeling that way. I was reading in Psalms yesterday, and a verse caught my attention: Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. (Psalm 27:7). I know that when I talk to the Lord that He hears me, and I know that He will answer me, unfortunately sometimes I have a hard time realizing that the Lord's timing is not my timing. Some things are going on right now in life that I just don't understand, and I have been lifting my prayers and petitions up to the Lord, and I know that He will answer me, I just have to wait on His time. I need to realize that my time is not the Lords time.
Well I guess that is it for me right now. I should be posting more regularly now that we are home and some what back into the routine of life. So that's all right now. :)
