Life

It seems to me that life never stops or slows down to allow us to catch up. There are days that I feel that I just want to stop life from moving and relax! I don't know why but things seem to catch up to you all at once not a little at a time.
Now I know without a doubt that the Lord is in control and we can depend on him. Pastor was preaching on Sunday how we need to remember that our children are a gift to us from God and that we need to give them back to him and trust him with their lives. I know this and needed that reminder. I took my son Alex to the doctor today because he is having some problems going to the restroom all the time. We thought that it was just because he can't sit still. Little did we know he is really having some problems. The found blood in his urine and have referred him to urologist, and then a gastro doctor for his other problem. Wednesday we take him to Peoria to the gastro doctor to find out what that problem is. It is possible that all of his symptoms are related to the same thing. It reminded me what Pastor was saying on Sunday morning and I look at it as God's way of reminding him that he is in control and Alex is in his hands. Now that does not mean I am not worried, I have a thousand things going through my head as to what could be wrong with my baby boy. But God is still on the thrown and this is just his way of reminding me to trust in him.
I love the way God uses our Pastor to remind me of his presence and his wonderful grace. I have had my share of health problems the last couple of years, but now I am doing so much better and am blessed to have such a wonderful supportive family. Sunday October 3 is my four year anniversary to my wonderful husband and I am so blessed that I have him in my life.

On another note homeschooling the kids is going pretty good. I am so happy and thankful that I live in a state and country that I am allowed to teach my kids what I believe they need to learn. Joy struggles with school some and I just have to get all of this schedule thing worked out and be a better consistent mother to my children. I on the other hand only have one more year of college left and I will be graduating. I am so happy to be so close to being done. Crystal is doing well, the only thing I struggle with is her attitude. What do I say to her how do I get her to understand that it hurts her to be so angry about things and that she has to learn how to deal with her feelings instead of holding it all inside. Maria is a challenge to me, she won't quit pooping in her pants and it is going to drive me insane. I know I am not strict enough with her and I am not consistent with her. So I ask that you pray for me to learn how to deal with all of this. I am going to shut up for now.
