In today’s hectic world stress has become an epidemic. With most American adults trying to juggle full time employment with a full time family stress builds, and can become debilitating.

I have one child that while I love dearly, frustrates me to no end! She is always pushing the limits, wants to be like everyone else, wants everyone else to know she is like everyone else, and just goes against the grain of our family nature. My goal this week with her is to maintain my composure when I have to deal with her and just show the love and forgiveness that Jesus has shown me. I know I can do it, I just have to focus on doing it and lean on God for the strength to be slow to speak and slow to get angry. I can do it!
I am so frustrated that I have no control over a situation!!! I regret ever getting involved in a project that was meant to help…..other people wouldn’t let us do our job and I’ve now quit….and now, those people are playing coy and telling others that the demise of the project is our fault!! Yes, I feel guilty for quitting it midstream, but it just isn’t fair to bring the stress into my home and family when all we are trying to do is good for others! I am leaning heavily on God and hoping those “hearing” will give us the benefit of the doubt and not just believe the things they hear!! I cannot believe that so-called Christians act the way they do! I will never understand.
I am getting ready to do something I have never done before…go away for the weekend without any family members, to meet some friends! I am so excited, yet proud of myself that I am doing this! Phil thinks I stick to home way to much and I think he is actually glad I am getting away! It is just for a short time, but I know it will be a time that I end up cherishing for years to come!

I have this on order!!
While, not new to blogging in the sense of knowing what it is, I am still fairly new to actually doing it. I have never been one that is good at writing, especially about myself. I appreciate those who are. But, I did decide that I would give it another try. Let’s see…..
I am an almost 42 year old wife, mom, sister, daughter, friend who grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. I fell in love with the South in 1993 after a move to Texas and will live there the rest of my life. I am married to my best friend and have 4 kids. I have made a lot of mistakes in my lifetime, but still strive toward that prize God has promised me with. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and can’t ever seem to keep animal hair vacuumed up.
