One of those days...

or maybe I should say weeks or months...... you know how Life goes. ;)
So here is a quick and "nice" run through of last week I will spare you some of the worse details. Sunday was Easter, went to church was a nervous wreck because i had to play the piano for the second time of my life in public, survived, came home mom and I fixed dinner, cleaned up,Dad and Mom left, I went to bed with a migraine I had been fighting all weekend. Monday Gary went to his 2 weeks of 2nd shift. Tues, Ethan got sick Tues night and puiked at least twice an hour the whole night, I was exhausted on that bright & early....Wed Morning. E was sick and weak all day but no more throwing up.Thurs. Cayden and Tre` started throwing up.... stayed home on Friday from school, and on Sat I think it was Jadyn started the throwing up.....Throughout the entire week I have been sick (Some type of sinus issue but worse than a normal sinus infection) and having bad headaches. On Sat... I was miserable, I couldn't lay in the bed anymore because it hurt me, I mixed up some of the bath salts (I have been making to sale at the Fundraiser for my parents....it was amazing! By far better than the store bought one that costs me $7 or $8 and only last 3 baths at the most! Since that bath....My sinus issues cleared up. ) on Sunday I stayed home with Jadyn since I still was not feeling great.
Also at some point during that week, Ethan got a tooth ache which has been coming and going, yes he has a cavity, and also a dentist apt. Ethan also taught himself how to ride a bike with no training wheels....poor Jadyn it was her worst fear, that he would ride a 2 wheel bike without training wheels before her. He did. And it was the first thing he told her when she got home.

Anyways.....here we are, right up to today.  After a day or 7 or 31 or 365 or more like those  it is easy to look around at your worries, your failures or just the feelings of depression or overwhelming feelings , stress....whatever it is your feeling besides happy.....and that is how I woke up this morning, started looking around at this and that and really, thinking about what I was missing or needing instead of all I have been blessed with. But, at the end of all my worries, stressing and fears I was telling to God in my mind, this thought came to me.

Psalm 61
 ¹Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
 ²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
 ³For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
 ⁴I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
 ⁵For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 
 
No matter what Life brings my way, I would rather face it knowing I am in the palm of His hand. It helps when you know the tears you cry are being bottled by the very Hands that created the oceans, makes the rain to fall and the sun to shine, conquered Death....that there is one who actually listens so closely to you that he records your very thoughts, that sometimes your tears are all the words you need to tell Him what your feeling. So maybe Life or circumstances didn't change, but still I feel better ;)
