the maddening mess

life is messy.  messy can be really good, or messy can be really bad. 

messy is good when you are mud sliding, playing in the rain, finger painting, baking cookies, eating ice cream..... the list is endless of all the good things in life that can be messy......

unfortunately there are times in life when messy is bad..... someone gets hurt, fires, floods, relationship struggles, money troubles.....   again, if you let your mind wander this list can be just as long.......

in my life i have both..... 5 children, a cat & a puppy make messes.....
but i also have bills, a husband w/ an addictive personality & limited income...... 

we are in a mess more uncomfortable financially then i have ever been in....... to be honest this situation is a super test of faith.... and a big stressor........ 

no i haven't read my Bible yet today, so there is no scripture truth to write down right now.... and if i wrote down my inspirational quotes i save that may help..... but in reality all i am going to do is pray.....

dear God, thank you so much for being my Creator & Provider.  You have given me this life & blessed me w/ so much.  please give me the faith to trust you w/ our finances, our home & our children.  please only you can fix our trouble.  i know you can work miracles, i know you can fix all problems & give grace & forgiveness.  You are the Author & Redeemer.....  please give us the strength to endure, the energy to continue forth, and help us trust in You.  thank you for providing & making a way for us to continue to live where we are.  amen
