And the Rollercoaster Continues

What a 7 days it has been.

Can we rewind the clock?

The emotions. The days. Whoa. I rest though in knowing that God is in control. Signs of the times if you will. His return days closer.

I have found out in the last 7 days that my dear friend from the last post in fact only has a nasty infection and does not have cancer again. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! Oh the tears and the joy and the singing Hallejulia!!!! SOOOOOO GRATEFUL!!!!! On flip side though, because let's be honest there is always a flip side, on Sunday my mom's dad passed away... then 2 days ago her grandfather. In that time frame Boston took place and then West, TX. All 3 of my men have felt yucky and my nephew got sick which made his heart race and they are making sure his SVT didn't return. Another dear friend's mom found out horrible cancer news and even spent time in the hospital for coughing up blood.

Sigh.

Can you scream WHITE FLAG!?

I did my daughter's bedroom fully painted a gorgeous turqoiuse color and minimal school was accomplished, but I did hear sweet words from my little girl. She walked in and said, "Mom, thank you for dedicating your whole day to do this for me."

Mop anyone?

My heart melted.

It hit with a lot God has been working on with me regarding my to-do lists and the studies/sermons that he has going on around me lately. I got the week right. Those days. I set my agenda aside and did the day he wanted me to do. Despite the chaos of all that is going on in my life and those around me at least I got that part right.

So much on my heart. So much I want to accomplish and do. So much...

I'm so thankful today is Saturday and even though it is a jammed packed day I know God has it in his hands. So glad he is in control and even though I don't understand his reasons for this week I know it was all in his will. Someday the front of the tapestry will reveal itself. Until then I will live my life to his fullest and relish in the days and moments he has given me. My heart goes out to everyone this week though.

Oh... everyone...
