I need to read you yesterday's Jesus Calling! Let me just give you a few lines: Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy--even precarious. That's how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you. Deut 29:29; Psalm 32:8 Praying for you today as you trust Him, literally step by uncertain step.
So...what's up? Is there something new going on, or is it just a long wait? I've never been a big fan of waiting. And I've done a lot of it. Which is why I loved something in our Esther study a couple weeks ago. You know in Isa. 40:31, it says they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength? My problem is I was always waiting on someTHING rather than the Lord! A husband, a baby, a job, a move, etc. That saps my strength. Waiting on the Lord is watching to see what He'll do next, knowing He's up to something. Isn't that good?! Love you.
I'm a mom of 4 precious boys who keep me on my toes! This mommy stuff is hard work but I wouldn't change it for anything. I have an awesome husband who is my very best friend. The boys think he is as cool as Superman!
Trying to eat the way I want our family to eat while keeping in line with a budget can be a challenge! These websites below are awesome for giving great ideas for just how to do that! There are great recipes and practical ways to take care of "my 5 blessings." Please let me know if you find another great site, and I will happily include it!

I love this song margo. It really does speak to my heart. I miss you very much.
I'm just catching up and wanted to say congratulations to Mike on the job and to let you know that I'll be praying for you guys.
I wish you the best with his job and am glad that you can trust in the Lord. It always does turn out for the best.
