Today I got an idea for a I'm Thankful board.

Tangled Yarn!

Our dear friend took this picture one night as we were untangling yarn that our daughter accidentally tangles while finger knitting and put together this lovely picture for us. The saying is so true that marriage is working together and untangling life's little adventures and when you have kiddos you have extras LOL. Though life can get pretty tangled it's the working on getting it untangled and not giving up that makes it all worth it in the end. We are so blessed. 

My Strength Comes From the Lord!

  As I wrote yesterday It has been a rough couple months, but I talk with a good friend of mine yesterday and she encouraged me and told me not to hesitate to call her when I need someone to talk to. I also realized I was once again trying to take control of the situation instead of letting God take care of it. So I once again surrendered myself to God and asked Him to fill me with the joy that I did not have and give me the strength that I need to make it through the day and the wisdom to deal with the situations that arise and remember to lean on Him when I need the extra strength. He is helping me through this valley that I'm going through and He gives me the strength I need when I feel drained and empty. 

My Strength Comes From the Lord!   

Drained!!!!!

Have you have ever felt like you just didn't have anything left to give or that you are empty, just down right drained of everything and anything? That is how I have felt these past few months. My joy is gone! I have good days don't get me wrong but it seems my low down days seem more than the good days. I don't know if it's the winter blues, the home-school cabin fever, or WHAT....! Something inside me just want to scream as loud as I possible can and sit in a corner and just bawl like I've never bawled before. I can go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH on here and it doesn't help! :"(

Sorry writing my feeling probably isn't a good thing.

I have been taking time to get down on my knees and talk to my Heavenly Father and reading my bible. Maybe I'm just not trusting in Him enough to handle my everyday problems because I do know He is BIG enough to take care of them and to carry me through them also. I ask Him to carry me through those hard times and ask Him to give me wisdom on how to handle the children when they are not doing as they are told  with their school work or with whatever I tell them to do, but maybe I'm not letting Him.

God has given me so many blessing like a wonderful and loving husband who provides for his family,  2 wonderful children and has abundantly blessed me with friends who are more than  friends they are my sisters, He has provided all my needs house, a car that runs, food a plenty and clothes to wear.

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1

I need to remember to say this verse today every time I have these feelings overwhelm me today, and also remember

That this the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Deep down I know God can give me that joy that I have lost and I know He can fill me up like no one else can I just have to trust that He can and let Him. When I am weary He will pick me up and carry me through this deep dark valley, I know this is true because my God does not lie. I need to trust in Him always.
