Meeting the Atchisons...

After a long day of seeing doctors and everything checking out fine we made the drive home, only to wait until nine p.m. for Scott to finally make it home. You see after a long day at work, my husband still works trying to make a extra income by cutting grass, so late nights is our time we have with him. I have been weak lately and so needy of him and I feel sometimes I just make it harder on him so I have been praying for God to give me strength. Physically and emotionally I have been weak you see I have had surgery and injury to the site where I had surgery. I have had so many fears about my body and condition and my husband continually trys to help me through my struggles assuring me I will be fine in time.Last night after he made it home he shared with me about meeting the Atchison family and their loss. He gave me their blog site I sat a read till early this morning, honestly crying and sobbing for their loss and for Hope she is strong.. I hope one day I can meet them and we can share in each others lives because we all need friends who feed us spiritually and who can hold us accountable here on earth. My husband felt such a connection with them and he shared some of our struggles and loss with them. He said he loved talking and sharing with them and that they made his entire day. So to the Atchisons I have started blogging in hopes to connect and share with you and others. God bless you Hope and your family maybe one day soon we can get together.

Mercy and peace...

Mercy and peace is what my heavenly father has given me...Something I have tried and tried to deny all along thinking I was not able to accept it..He has told us to ask him and we will receive and I still fight myself to let go of control, why I do not know because we have never been in control God is... In the past week I have gone from a scared woman who couldn't function to a woman and mother who realize God is in control and I am here to do his work and to nurture and teach my children...his word.Honestly Saturday was a day of acceptance and realizing what he can and will do for our family.Financially we are in a bind and with three small boys and a household to take care of I am realizing that we will make it through his mercy not our works.. We have tried to do what we thought we wanted and what we thought was right for our family all along not really including God's plan for our family, and from last week forward we will not look back and we will take his plan and put it in action as he shows us the path.. Please pray that we will follow him to the end.
