Life & Blessings

WOW! I just read/watched the piece that a TV station did on MckMama and her story about Stellan. Can you believe that they let her speak openly about Christ! Her ministry is amazing. http://mycharmingkids.net You should read the latest post and watch the piece.

After watching this 10min piece, I realize how blessed we are. Times are tough. Money is tight...houses to sell and me going back to work. Not exactly how I would have envisioned our life this time last year. I know...at least we have a job. But, what about all the other things that come with that:
Daddy traveling, him working late, another house that we own in a market that is hitting the bottom, stress levels beyond imagination, kids that are wild...the list can go on. Is it worth it? Was it worth our marriage, relationships and friendships to move back to Charlotte? Who knows? I would like to think that it was, but at this moment, I am not feeling like that. Only one knows the answer and I am calling out to him for clarification and validation!

Life was cake a year ago. Yes, we still had stress. But, Walter was home every night and never hardly traveled. My dream job was waiting on me if I wanted it, the kids were doing great (as far as behavior goes), we were super involved in a church that we LOVED, our faith was strong and we were close with Christ....and we had some of the best friends ever in TN.

And now, soooo far from where we were a year ago!

But....as hard as it is for me to say right now, we are blessed. We have our health and our 2 healthy children. After watching MckMama's piece I realize how much worse things could be.

I started this blog a year ago to keep the parents up to date on what was going on with the children and our lives. But, I feel it has so much more potential. Things that are shared here, we don't want to talk about in person. I use this to vent and let go. This blog has the potential to grow and be a ministry to others. Hopefully it will be.....sooner than later!

Here is a verse that I have been claiming lately that my Mom gave me years ago and recently it continues to be put in front of me.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

So here is my claim...until I can get other clarification!
