My Life Today

Have you ever felt like something just needed to change? I'm there right now. It is a weird feeling; one that I know will pass. Nonetheless, it seems as though I need to take some action. This next week I am going to reflect on God's goodness, God's strength, and God's direction in my life, with the help of a few close friends, and most importantly my hubby. What a great man he is! Sometimes we all need to be taken care of - if you're a mom, it is easy to only worry about taking care of everyone else. It's important to take moments of solitude in this fast paced world, and do something for 10 minutes that will revitalize your spirit and renew your mind. Take a walk, read a book, journal, pray, meditate on God's word. It's so easy to fill our time with phone calls, emails, blogs, and facebook. Take a break. God wants us to look to Him for fulfillment, not the strategies of the world today.

Stress and Life

What could possibly be stressing me out so much that I now have stress-induced eczema? I don't feel stressed, but that doesn't mean there's not stuff going on. Here is a list of just a few things going on in the McCoy family right now. maybe you could say a little prayer for us!!

1. Chase starts 1st grade on Thursday

2. Madelyn has to start a new daycare due to her current one going on maternity leave

3. My mother-in-law is have MAJOR back surgery this Friday (she will be in the ICU for 2 days afterwards)

4. I just started Fall 1 session at school

5. Chase is in soccer two afternoons a week - Marcus is the coach

6. Soccer games start in a week and a half

7. I work full time

8. I am taking 3 classes this session (my school is on the quarter system - 9 weeks)

9. I have eczema on my feet (spreading to my hands)

10. We still do not have a house

11. We are still putting in offers on houses

12. I have two huge deadlines at work this week - one tomorrow and one friday

So, really, what's there to be so stressed about? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! My life is insane, but a friend just highlighted the verse 2 Corinthians 12:9 - God is most powerful through my weakness. I'm learning that being humble is the best trait that I can try to harvest right now. I HAVE to ask for help. If I don't, I am no good to anyone at all - least of all my children.

Oh, I forgot...

13. My husband has a brain tumor and is starting his steroid IV therapy tomorrow for the next three days

14. Madelyn has a sleep study next tuesday to determine if we need to have her tonsils out now, or if we can wait 6 months.

Please pray for me!
