Uncle ME

I am blessed to declare the birth of my second nephew! My mother arrived in time for the arrival! I can't wait to meet the little fellow over Christmas and ooohh and awwwwee over a new little life that I'm sure will bless me so much. Crazy how God sends us blessings through so much pain.

Homecoming...



"A Little Home" -Rascal Flatts
I'm so excited about my Mom coming home from the Dark continent! I havn't seen her in over a year now. She will be here to visit me for about a week... which of course won't be long enough, but I think it will help to get me through another birthday, another Christmas, ...another year, away from them.

Recalculating

Undone.
That about sums it up.
Since I've been in the house a lot this week off of work, I thought I'd go out to coffee and free wifi to study my lesson for Jr. Church. I'm teaching all month and it is so exciting to be unfolding the truths of Who God Is and The First Creations of Angels. These kids are good, though a handfull, so I wanted to be sure to have a good handle on the material.
My car is in the shop so I borrowed my Aunt's. Not a bad start.
Then I got lost on the way to the bank because it was a "right" instead of a "left". I circled three times before finding it... even passing my Aunt and Uncle on the road making the loop.
(That was funny)
Got my money, and... made the wrong turn. So I looped again.
Finally making it to the cozy little spot beside the window, I come to find I LEFT MY STUDY MATERIAL!!!
Realy? Really.
So, here I sit with my large Caramel Mac killing some time and wondering what the heck I'm here for. Ya, I could go back to the empty house that I've been more-or-less stranded in and stay the night studying... but honestly, it's not going to happen.
It did make me think though.
Wow, am I lost.. Lord, I think I'm more lost than I know.. in more ways than I know.

Round and Round we go

Honestly, I'm not surprised anymore why people say

  "Money makes the world go round"

I've been juggling a lot of things including car insurance, health insurance, registration, not to mention phone bill, and a couple personal expenses.
I know it will all come together somehow, but I'm just having a little bit of a crisis with this new "Adult life" thing. First time for a lot of these responsibilities and dealing with their difficulties.
Makes me wish my Dad was here to help me wade the high water.
But...
 I know my Father in Heaven is here helping me out and sending good friends and family to help me get through.
Money may make the world go round... but I know the One that "hung the World on nothing".. and He makes all the difference. (Job 26:7)
