A Fresh Perspective

A week has gone by since my last post. While not a lot has changed in my situation and there are even more unanswered questions, God is still working. (Of course He is, He never stopped!)


Last night, I had the night off and was able to make dinner (a simple pleasure) and hang out with my kids. I sat on the couch with Emma and Alex, watching them interact and play. Emma is rapidly expanding her vocabulary and has become a bit bossy, but to watch her was such a gift. I got to read some books with Jackson. First grade causes so many changes, he is learning to read and it is fun to watch him grow. Stephen just adds drama to everything and his smile is such a reward.


I also had the opportunity to go over to church for prayer and it was an amazing hour of sitting in God's presence. While I poured out my heart to God, He reminded me of His presence and patience. I did not receive any answers but His peace was a gift.


The best part of the evening was putting the kids to bed, reading "Goodnight Moon" to Emma and "vegging" with my husband.

Ok so moments after I originally posted this message, my phone rang. I have a new job. Acutally it is my old job, but since it hasn't been mine for the past 2 years, I suppose it is new again. There are many details that still need to be worked out, childcare, other jobs, etc...but I do know this step is the best for my family. I will actually get to see all of my kids every day. God's timing and His work in our lives is always perfect. He has proven this time and time again, and yet I fail to remember and cling to that in the midst of my problems. Maybe it sank in a little more this time around. :-)
