Ok my kids are off to my in-laws this week to attend and help out with their church’s VBS program. I am trying to work on things around the house with them out of the way. I have so much to do and never seem to have enough time to do it or the money that I need either.

I work at a seasonal temporary job grading public school achievement and graduation tests for a company that gets contracts to do them. Next week I am going to be working full time for a few weeks which will be tough for me since I normally only work part time in the evenings. So I have a lot of planning to do to keep things moving over the next few weeks.

Of course I do this job off and on through the year to get money to save up to help out when my DH does not have as much work and consequently less income for us but this year all my money has been taken away by things breaking down and needing fixed or replaced. All at once we have had to replace our stove, water heater and now my truck needs a new air compressor. I guess it is good that I have some money for them . Well not all since the last thing will have to wait and since the heat and humidity are incredibly bad this year I don’t know how long I can survive without AC in my truck.

I am kind of always in the midst of one of life’s storms but these coming weeks hold the threat of an intensity in them. Hopefully things will run smoother than I imagine they will be. I keep trying to hold on to God’s promise that He will be here with us in the midst of our storms. I think the only quiet right now comes from not having kids around me during the day.

With needing to get ready for homeschooling this coming year I am finding that I again have less time and less time to do things with the kids. Seems like summer goes so fast as it is.

Ok I guess I needed to grumble a bit since I normally don’t do the stream of consciousness thing on my blog much. I apologize for putting it out there but sometimes a little bit of that is good among friends.

As I sit here and finish my coffee and plan I am sending a prayer out to those of you who visit and read my blog because I know there are troubles and things on your mind as well. I know God knows who you are and what your needs are so that I know He listens when I say please Lord keep these dear readers in your care and help them through their own personal storms in life. If you do not know Him as your own personal Savior I pray that you would come to know Him and make the decision to ask Him to be your Savior and to follow Him. All you need to do is know that you are a sinner and that He sent His only Son to die on the cross in your place so that you can be cleansed of your sins and will be able to come to God blameless in His sight. Ask Him for forgiveness and thank Him for doing so. Ask Him to be your Lord and Savior and to come into your life. If you do so with honesty and truly believing in Him then you are now a child of God and one of His own. Please find a local church to attend so that you can have fellowship with other believers and so that you can grow in your walk with Him. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or want to talk. I normally don’t put this out there and I think I may setup an area for this on my blog because I felt compelled to say this today. Maybe because God knew there was someone who needed to hear this from me. Maybe it was you?

Well to everyone, Have a wonderful day!
