Wife, Mom, and Nurse????

Well, most of you know my husband was in a motorcyle accident last Friday (he was NOT at fault), so since last Friday I have been playing nurse to my hubby! I am so relieved that the Lord spared him and the crash was not life threatening, but I often wonder when I look back at this if I will see what the Lord's plan was in all of this.

In the past I have been blessed to be able to look back at situations and see the Lord's hand in every little detail. I know that He is at work even now in our lives, so I will be interested to see what His plan for us was in this accident.

For now we are dealing with Brian's injuries, and getting him better, as he is not really all that mobile right now, so as he recovers I look forward to see how He is going to work in our lives. FOR NOW...we are going to have to put our adoption plans aside until Brian gets better, so it looks like unless things change we are going to have to move our start date until after all of this accident and insurance stuff is taking care of.

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

God is good!!!!!!!

Oh the New Year

Okay, now that I have all of the Christmas stuff put away, I can finally RELAX. Next year I am not putting up even half of what I did this year. I went a little Christmas crazy. The mess was making me nuts too. I can deal with a little bit of mess, but the overwhelming mess from all things shiny, and cardboard almost drove me crazy.

Now with the mess picked up I feel like my head is all clear again. I'm ready for the New Year now. It was beautiful to wake up to snow...beautiful, white, snow that was such a wonderful reminder of how the Lord's sacrafice covered our sins and gave us a clean slate.

I am so thankful for that forgiveness, and HIS constant mercy when I soooo don't deserve it.

I only pray that I will draw closer to the Lord this year. I am so in need of a refreshed soul. I want to be in the place where I can say in all situations, "It is well with my soul". Right now, all I can say is I want that, but I am soul weary at this point, yet I praise the Lord for his MANY blessings.

I am determined this year is going to be a good year. No matter if we add to our family or just enjoy the family we have been blessed with.
