TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
part I

This has certainly been a non-stop... trying.... mentally and physically exhausting... what day is it?...kind of couple of weeks.

But it certainly makes you thankful for your good days!

God is still good.

Even though

* I spent most of yesterday in the Emergency Room with Bug (who had to get 2 IV's, an ultrasound, and a catscan)
* Drama Mama was so sick for so long (with her rectal and throat strep and tummy virus)
* Brad is now sick with the virus and bed-ridden
* Brad has just been laid off very unexpectedly (after already having to take last week off due to his boss having to attend a funeral)
* I have a beach vacation coming up that I know I can't afford to go to
* Our savings is 100% depleted
* I haven't slept in 2 weeks (other than an hour here or there...seriously)
* Gas is now $4 a gallon

He is still good.

After all....

* I didn't get sick, and was able to take care of my family. :) Thank GOD!
* Brad was able to be home with Drama Mama while I was in the E.R. with Bug..Thank God!~!!
* Bug DIDN'T have appendicitis *whew*
* We are so blessed that we are surrounded by such wonderful family members who know JUST the right thing to say and care SO much about us. THANK YOU!
* We have health insurance on the kids so the E.R visit won't cost us an arm and a leg..AMEN!
* Maybe the door that we have been waiting for to open (so to speak) since we have moved here will finally OPEN (can I get an amen!?)
and lastly:
* check out who came hopping up to my door to visit....JUST when I needed it!..a baby "Hannah" frog/toad! She must have known! Thanks Hannah!


See how tiny he is?





****There is NOTHING like a good o'l Southern Thunderstorm (though I HATE thunder) to clean the slate!*****

  1. Oh Kristie Ann! I am so sorry! That is a lot to go through at once, a "Jonah of a day"! I am praying for you. Love that Bug did not have appendicitis and that the froggie made an appearance... :)

    We've had crazy storms here in N. Virginia too. Yikes!
