YIKES!!!..whew!!

Its after two pm and Im so thankful they day is looking up...
My morning was filled with tons of stuff I hate dealing with. God is faithful to remind me of Him as my comfort, not an easy life.
But, rest assurred, I wasn't singing His praises a couple hours ago.

Little Vara caught a throw-up bug that Reid had earlier this week..so you know how that goes. Everything from the floor to the couch to clothes gets washed a lot! Also, I had an apt with the midwife this morning. I HAD to go because I missed it last week and Im due for my second Glucola testing.
I took the kids with me, hoping the car would remain vomit-free (it did!). Reid was a rascal during the visit, pushing Vara, climbing on things....so that filled my heart with complaints. I did pass my test, though (woo-hoo!,) but we had to talk about my weight. Ive gained 30lbs already!! I have ten weeks left to go and was encouraged to watch my carb/sweet intake. Baby is measuring great and its heart is healthy despite my hugeness.

So, after the apt, I called to see if Marks parents still wanted the kids for the night. (Did I mention we were celebrating our 7th this weekend?? Mark and I reserved a room at a B&B at the oceanfront.) I didnt want to drop Var off sick like that...understandibly they said "no". So, of course, that didnt go well with me either. "I NEED this get-away from my hard life!"

I quickly realized my hope was in the "get-away", not my loving Father. So, after praying and sobing pitifully, God gave me peace about it and I took a nap.
I woke to a vomit free girl (yay!) and a message from Mark saying tonight was still on, that his parents changed their minds about keeping the kids. Yay!!

Now, off to packing things up and finishing a few dishes. I am thankful for this window into my heart and hope that I can hold secure to Christ despite my circumstances. Thanks for listening-
