He Is Everything To Me

"Oh my Lord, My burden bearer
My help in trouble, My joy in sorrow
My light in darkness, My sword and shield"
~Oh! What A Time

You ever feel like you just need a hug?

Things have been a little overwhelming for me lately. With the normal stress of being a SAHM to 3 kiddos, we have had the added stress of some (hopefully) minor health problems with our oldest. Then the low economy (compounded by my husband being a self-employed construction worker), some sickness and death in our family, and a few other personal problems, and I am about ready to throw in the towel. Needless to say, I have spent loads of time talking to God here lately. And always, when I pray, I feel a little bit better. I know that God is always there to listen and that the Holy Spirit will guide me in what to do or say at any given time if I will just listen.

Sometimes I can just feel the Lord wrapping those mighty arms of His around me and saying "Everything is alright. All will be fine. I am here and ready to carry your burden for you." Those times bring me such peace. It is so comforting and calming to know that all I have to do when I feel lost, alone, or overwhelmed is start talking. There is nothing that He can't handle, and He won't place more on me than He knows I can handle. (Although sometimes I feel like His definition of "you are strong enough" and mine are miles apart!)

God will be everything to you, i fyou will only let Him. He will be your burden-bearer, your help in trouble, your joy in sorrow, your light in darkness, your sword and shield. And then when we see him one day......Oh, my Lord, What a Time!!



Mighty Father, I know that when I am weak, you are strong. Please guide me in everything that I do and lift me when I think I am too weak to go on. I cast all my cares at your feet knowing that you will help me. In Christ's holy name, Amem.

It's a Bloggy Day in a Tiny Way

I know. I'm a bad blogger. I get on here and read when I can, but just never can find the time to write. Maybe when I get things better organized (*snicker*)......yeah, who am I kidding?

Just to save myself the agony of uploading pictures twice on dial-up, if you want to see my kiddos' doing the Easter thing, here's the link to my Facebook album. We had our niece an nephews over and had a big time.

Ty has his first eye doctor appointment in a few hours. Turns out, Jeremy has one this morning, so Ty is going with him to see what goes on before I take him after dinner. My poor baby. By the time the next couple of months is over, I have a feeling we will all be thoroughly sick of doctors. I'm already getting there.

I know this is a pathetic little entry. We will try again later.......but don't hold me to it. ;)

Zoo Atlanta!

I know....It's been forever since I posted. Things stay crazy around here. I always wonder how so many of you post several times a day. I can't even find the time to write and set them to post later! There are a thousand other things I need to be doing right now as it is (don't tell Jeremy!)

Saturday before last, we went with our good friends the Matlocks to zoo in Atlanta. Another friend of ours works there, so we got to see a little bit of "behind the scenes" stuff, at least in the reptile section. :)

So, my computer isn't wanting to cooperate with pictures right now, but when it decides to get its act together, I will post zoo pictures.

The kids had fun, but I think we adults had more fun! Except Audrey puked all over me and herself right at the end. And Jeremy squatted down to dig through the diaper bag for a burp cloth to clean up with and sat on a stob and made a nice big bruise on his booty. :/ Oh well. It was still fun.

After the zoo, we went to eat and then back to David's to hang out for a little while to give the sun time to go down, so we wouldn't be driving in it all the way home. All in all, it was a doggone good day.
