Blessed

I just need to list my blessings....

Five months of unemployment. Really! I have learn so much and realized that there is so much in life that is pointless, trivial and just a plain waste of money.   Although it didn't keep me from buying the Cricut did it :)  

Marks new job.

Relocation package in this time of economic craziness. Never expected it and yet so blessed (even though it will be taxed) to get something.

Living below our means for years. Which isn't always fun, but really has paid off the last five months.

After five months of unemployment we still have money in savings. PRAISE!

I don't have to go back to work, HUGE BLESSING. I would if I had too, but so blessed to be a wife and mom that works "from" home.

The friends that help you put stickers on your junk to sell.

For the friend that always comments on my blog or the friends that email me an encouraging word.

The friend that saves you bubble wrap.

The friend that understands the importance of House.  

The friend that organizes a box drop off.

The friend that sends me flair.

The friend willing to take vacation time to help you move.

My realtor that called us back while she is on her 20 year anniversary Hawaii trip.

The realtor in Alabama that told me she would pray for our relocation to be a blessing to my family. Um, that would NEVER happen here! NEVER!

Free antibiotics at Publix. Madison as two ear infections and some lung issues right now. She hasn't had to be on antibiotics since November of 2006. Wow! That is a blessing too, healthy kids.

So many more blessings.  This entry would be so long.  Blessed beyond measure!

"Normal"

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge . This past year has been something else to say the least. From October to October, okay not quite a year but WOWSER! Didn't see that freight train coming. I have to reflect. I have been reading my blog entries going back to October of last year. Part of me can believe it has been a year since all this started and part of me feel like it was forever ago. Daily I have to turn my cares over to the Lord, carry my cross and trust with a faith that can move mountains. Recap~ October 2008 ~ The company Mark is contracting for is a pool company and is really feeling the effects of the economy and crisis and has to cut back. Mark was not the first to go but his time is up the first week of October. November 2008 ~ hint of a job in Raleigh NC. The person hiring has to wait until January to see if they get a contract or not. Very surprised at the lack of jobs in the Tampa area...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...
