Trials of the Times

It seems that spring has finally sprung today. It's so warm and pretty out today,mid 70'zish. Its been so cool, windy and rainy lately. I was wondering if it would ever be warm again. Even though the weather is nice today I haven't be able to fully enjoy it as I'm fighting a nasty headache and nausea, yuck! But I did manage to force my self to take the dog out for a 20min walk, the sun felt so warm and yummy. It was good for the soul to get out in the sun shine :)

I've been feeling discouraged as of late and a little blue, which I haven't really had to deal with in the past few months. There has been a lot going on here in my little world that's out of my hands. First at my church the Lord is really calling home the saints. We have had 2 deaths in the past 2 weeks and one more on the way and a lot of sudden illnesses that needs prayer. Two of the deaths were very tragic and hard to take. Their deaths certainly don't make a lot sense to us this side of the veil. But its encouraging to know that these souls are beholding the glory of God and worshiping Him free from sin and a sickly body.

The Good Lord has certainly been deepening my and my husbands faith due to some our circumstances and plans that we have. My husbands position at work most likely in the very near future will be taken from him. Which is OK he can just head back to his former position; however the city he works for is planning to lay off workers and he doesn't have a whole lot of seniority. Also he is a strong believer and an evangelist and some of the "higher ups" don't like that. I trust that God has it all under control, because He reigns! We are just daily praying to the Lord to help us deal with these uncertain times, other wise you can worry yourself crazy! I'm not working right now but I did reapplied at for my former position thinking it would be a P.M. shift, which would work out great with church, come to find out it will be the day shift and the only problem with that is I would have to work on Sunday mornings. Which is something I thought that I would never even consider, but desperate times you know! We are planning a move and adoption and we could really use the money for sure, but is it worth it? Would we be in sin? I think we found a church that has a saturday evening service.We are still desperately praying about it and seeking counsel on that.

So lots of sticks on the fire and the Lord is testing us with fiery trials too! Ouch! Lots of prayer and reading His precious word with my best friend and husband Rick. I'm so blessed to have him :)
