Well we are on day 11 or 12? of very sick children, more blood work at the hospital tomorrow morning. The days are so long we have a running list of Advil/ Tylenol and antibiotic's of who had what when. Thankfully I can say Rachael and Presley are better they probably lost 5-10lbs during that time. I have been feeding them so much yogurt and pro biotic since they have felt better they're going never eat it again. Jude and Zachary also have damage to their hearts and the doctor wants to do an Echocardiogram once they are all feeling better. My pink eye is much better and I also have a voice again. I have been completely humbled by our church family once again. I have felt so loved by those around us, friends have brought meals, freezes, Popsicles, and little cards for the kids. Makes me very thankful to be apart of the Body of Christ. Just when I start to think it would be easier to not go and be apart of anything the Lord clearly shows me I do. Good thing! His ways are better than mine.In my last blog post I shared we bought a hobby farm. It's been such a whirlwind with sick children and needing to be here or there signing this and that but I think we are done Monday.
Our new home will be a 4 bedroom house on 2.27 ac. in Pinatan Lake. I am BEYOND excited. Moving day isn't until the end of July and we still need to give our notice here. This is going to be a very busy June and July to say the least.
Today I started to pack up all our school books and declutter what we don't use and give away books to those that may use them. I got side tracked looking through how much I have collected over the years, I felt the flame of homeschooling get stoked again. Excited to move to the country and daily pour into my kids without distraction. Satan actively will use anything to pull families away from their most important tasks and seemingly innocent and good activities. I have been praying for the past few months "What is it God wants me to do?" I was kinda feeling lost I guess you could say. Maybe it had to do with new baby hormones balancing out but a quiet whisper would say "just do the next thing" I would lay in bed completely
frustrated. What on earth did that mean? all I could picture was putting in a load of laundry or unloading the dishwasher. That didn't seem like an exciting new adventure. After months of doing the next thing I felt like I had a brake through with buying this home. Things just fell into place one after another with blessings that could only be from the Lord. It has been a fresh revelation that He does have a plan. We need to have unshakable faith in our Almighty God. We need to have a clearness of vision of where we're going and what we we're supposed to be doing. We need to look at every situation through God's eyes and have His perspective. And we need to walk in the strength of the Lord and expect that God is going to give victory.
I have waited 13 years for a home of our own and God has blessed us. I am not worthy, and none of us are capable. "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit" says the Lord (Zech 4:6)
