Whew... school is done. well for four weeks anyway. Time for a much needed break and a margarita. It's been a while since my last update. Allen and I have been through a lot the past few weeks. I had a stomach flu from one of the kids in the Nursery. All i can say is yuck. Allens' great aunt passed away Sunday at the ripe old age of 90. He spent most of his summers over there running between her house and his grannies. The funeral was Wednesday and of course it hit just when finals were so I couldn't go. After working a 12 hours shift, he drove 2.5 hours to Lenior City (near Knoxville) for the funeral then drove back home. Once he got in the door he started throwing up with a 100 degree fever. Needless to say, I slept in the guest bedroom last night. All better today, though. Kept down all sorts of things.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. His timing doesn't always match up with my timing or when I see things happening. Sometimes I don't always understand why things happen or why it happens to some people and not to others. Why things happen to the people that do the right things. Do everything their suppose to, follow the right steps and then get kicked to the curb. While others who go about things the wrong way prosper and flourish. Sometimes we don't understand His purpose but I just have to believe that he has a plan for me and my family.
Trust in the Lord and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him. (Psalm 37:3-5, 7a)
