Aren't they sweet? I love these kids and yes I know I'm partial, but WHATEVER! They're great and I'm blessed...Anyway... Here it is the 9th of December, and it has been over a year since I've posted. WOW, slacker ay?
I've been vacillating between extreme happiness and frustrated sadness lately. I feel a bit like a manic depressive, but it's not that bad really. I guess all my life I've been a feast or famine kinda gal. I'm either bouncing off the wall with enthusiasm or screaming my head off in frustration at the "unfairness of it all." GOOD GRIEF AND FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! I think after bordy deben (that's 47) years, I'd start to level off a bit. Maybe I am, maybe I am finally learning not to be lead around the snoot by my emotional highs and lows. I'm learning more and more that God is for me, He is with me and guess what? It's not about me anyway. It's about HIM and HIS mission. I get to be a part of it even if sometimes I don't "feel" like it. I struggle with feeling compassion for the needy even though I expect others to "feel" for me when I'm needy. That's JACKED UP! I get annoyed when I'm inconvenienced, yet I find myself inconveniencing other all the time. Praying I would be more like Christ and that I would find my complete joy and contentment in Him. The mission at our church "The Roots Community" is to help people place their confidence in Jesus ALONE. We added the "alone" just recently and boy is it HUGE. Have to remind myself daily (sometimes hourly) that Jesus is my provision, my everything and I can't do a dang thing without him. I have to trust Him with my family, my work, my church, my ministry, my money, my friends and everything else! Oh Jesus, help me trust you.
Now for Christmas, I love it.
Here's some fun things I'll be doing in the next couple of days...
