Dearest Friends,
This has been a tough month, or two, or longer...
Honestly, there have been so many adjustments to our regular-but-not-exactly-normal lives I am struggling to keep up. Some are easy while others are challenging and still more are quite simply over-the-top overwhelming. Is there such a thing as just "whelming"? I could do "whelming".
Our oldest graduated from college - Easy
She has been trying to find a full-time job - Challenging
She struggles with direction, purpose, significance, and relationships - Overwhelming
All of our younger kids are in school every day, full-time - Easy
They have homework, chores, and after-school responsibilities to be disciplined in - Challenging
They are little individuals with strong personalities yet are sometimes influenced by the world we live in and I can't always be there to shelter them - Overwhelming
The hubby continues to be a well-respected and valued asset to his workplace, which always involves extra responsibilities and time commitments away from home, once in awhile - Easy
He has started his Master's program in ministry - Challenging
He is undergoing surgery to have a pacemaker/defibrillator "installed" - Overwhelming
Never before have I been more directly confronted by the awesome faithfulness and sovereignty of God, more acutely aware of my agonizing and desperate need of His mercy and grace, and more humbled and thankful for His love and provisions.
So I'm choosing to respond in prayer, and praise, and worship in all things. "It is well with my soul..."
With deep love and appreciation,
Glory
