Here Goes...
Okay so, haha.. don't you all just anticipate what is coming next. Yeah, me too. or NOT!
J has now been without work for over a month. No income... NOTHING. OH wait, we get the reimbursement for fostering once a month, but that goes back into the kiddos. And I have sold 4 canvas paintings. I have also had photo shoots galore so that has been keeping us going somewhat.
Our A/C is creating a huge hole in our floor in the laundry room. It is leaking and we have had someone out to look at it and "clean" it and it is still leaking. now our floor is just saturated and falling in.
Drying clothes has been a challenge seeing that our dryer has stopped heating YET again. We hung a clothes line outside to dry clothes on, that was fun, no really. I love hanging clothes to dry! But there are certain things you cannot do in the rain. Drying clothes is ONE of them. Now they are in the house with us... but not that they are going to dry b.c we have turned off the a/c so that it will stop leaking. All the windows are open now and the humidity is 500% with a wind burn of 400 degrees.
I don't see the clothes drying.
J was supposed to start a job this morning at a local roofing company (yeah as if that wasn't scary enough; J on a roof!) but this morning he gets up to go in and it was pouring. Want to know another certain thing you cannot do in the rain. Roofing. Yes, you cannot roof in the rain, a dog can but we humans cannot. roof roof. Want to know how long the forecast calls for rain. yeah, I don't either.
I was listening to K love the other day and it said "Thank God for the "NO'S" in our lives.
Thank you Jesus.
J ran into his old college pastor last night and he was telling him that sometimes there looks to be two good answers to the paths that you are trying to differentiate between but if you feel like there is not any reason not to go down one path if it is in fact the wrong path, God will close the door and open another.
Okay Lord.
Roo's CW sent me a message a little while ago saying that BM wants to do a drug test and visit "her son". Why yes, she hasn't seen him since he was 7 days old in the hospital. He is NOW 8 months old. NObody has seen her since the removal hearing when he was 8 days old. Fair? notachance!
Your will Father!
OOOH look a WONDERFUL cool breeze is finally blowing away the humidity and it is cooling off in the house. Oh what's that? The.rain.is.pouring.in.the.windows? hmm okay
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ENOOOOOOOOUUUGH!
You are more than enough for me!

for you, the readers, my friends
Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement on the comments and in emails. I got them all and I appreciate you, your words and your prayers!
God is amazing and has brought me through this valley once before, He will do it again. He LOVES this time with me and I enjoy getting to see His face in the midst of the fire. I do not LOVE the fire, do not misinterpret that... but I do love the shield and the Hero pulling me through!
Just through the emails and comments that I have gotten, and even other conversations I have had with other friends, I think it is VERY safe to say that this is a tough season for everyone right now. There have been so many "attacks" on our friends and loved ones homes. In every circumstance I have been hearing the same thing, "I am not sure what is going on but everything just seems out of whack", More or less.
I do not feel alone in this battle any longer. I know there are others in this burning hot flame with me. I believe this is a season of purifying. God is purifying our hearts to look more like him.
I have heard before that when hard pressed by circumstances whatever is inside comes "squishing out". Man if all that has been coming out of me in this hard season stays cooped up in there much longer I will rot! This is awful stuff! I am not even kidding. I have been using words I dropped at the "I DO" entrance to giving my life to the Lord! I mean they just crept up on me one day and it stuck. Now that I am being hard pressed, it is all pouring out. NOT GOOD!
Thank you LORD for the cleansing, but please help me to be obedient in responding well to rebuke. I need more of you and less of me! I want to abandon myself to your praises Father! I need your presence more than ever right now!
A dear sweet friend of mine wrote me an encouraging email the other day and I just wept. It painted the perfect picture of where I feel like I am right now.
I would like to insert a portion of the email here and I pray that it may speak to you as well and that you will see God's heart for you too.
You are not alone!
"...my heart was in pain and I asked God why isn't there anyone here to pray for me -with me. And he reminded me of a scene in the garden when he was alone... His closest friends had gone to rest while he was aching -preparing to die to himself -and save the world. "Sound familiar on a smaller scale?" But he also reminded me of the one to whom he was praying the one who for a brief moment in time left Jesus so Jesus would never have to leave us. You are not alone... "
