One of Those Weeks

This has been one of those weeks. One where your mind constantly thinks, envisions, plans, and analyzes everything to the point of exhaustion. It's the kind of week where your husband walks in the house to find you sobbing on the couch. It's the week where you want to have everyone else's life except your own. It's one of those weeks where strangers ask you how you are and you just want to go into detail. It's one of those weeks. I wish I could be open and transparent to everyone. I wish I could walk around with my heart on my sleeve. I wish I could scream. And frankly, I wish I could talk in a non-raspy voice and quit coughing up my lungs. And sometimes I wish we could live our lives according to our own will and desires (even though I KNOW that would not be the best plan).

Unfortunately, God isn't quite having that right now.

But I trust Him.

I trust God so much with my life. With Adam's life. Even with Denali's life:-)

I know that things aren't ideal right now. And I know that God works in seasons. So seasons change, right? They HAVE to change. I'm waiting for that change. So if you read this and feel like having some compassion on a friend, say a little prayer that God will speak to me clearly through this oh-so-frustrating time. Thanks.

PS Borrowed from Nancy's fb status this am. "Believes that if we allow Him, the Lord will precisely lead and direct us. He will order our steps with exactness and accuracy. The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives” (Psalm 37:23, NLT).

I am SO SORRY you are having one of those weeks. We all have them so never feel alone. I'll be praying for you, Adam and Denali :) It's ok to cry sometimes, to ask questions & to not understand everything. Continue to serve him even in the rough patches & try to find what joy you can in this season b/c it will change & you'll never be in this part of your life again. Call me anytime ya need to. ;)
