Okay, so I may not be the most interesting read and I may not say anything that you don't already know but this diary is mainly for myself. I enjoy sharing it with others, particularly my close friends so they know what's happening in my world, but its still mainly for me. I love to type out my thoughts. Its a great break from my otherwise hectic day. And I love reading over old entries and seeing how much life has changed. So enjoy the read but try not to be too critical.

In God, I Find Absolute Peace

Can things get any more hectic? I have barely spoken to any of my friends. I miss them all terribly. Haidyn is at a very difficult stage right now. The fact that she is napping for 4-5 hours in the afternoon is a blessing but a problem at the same time. It really restricts when I can do anything.

Alexa gets married on Saturday. I can't believe it is finally upon us. She is going to be a beautiful bride. I'm so excited for her. It will be fun. The girls and I will be in Lebanon Thursday and Friday to help both Mom and Alexa get the last minute things together. Lots of food prep on Friday for the reception.

Paul wants to quit his job. He hates his career. He feels trapped. I can understand. He's been doing the same thing for 12+ years. He hasn't had a raise in four. What does God have in store for us? Will Paul go back to school? Will I go back to work? Will God give Paul peace to stick to it?

Lots going on. As I'm thinking about it, I'm getting a headache. But as I pray and give it to God, it goes away. Isn't it an awesome praise that even when things are crazy, God is right there. Even when our schedules are upside down and were struggling with things internal, God is in control. I have found such awesome peace in giving things up fully to God. I am not in control. I have found through failure that there is no peace in doing things my way.

I don't need anyone else. Not even Paul. I love my husband. I adore my children. But even they cannot promise to always be there. Only God can give me the peace in knowing that He's in control. He's always there no matter what happens. So what's going to happen this week? I pray that Alexa's wedding goes smoothly. Will Paul be able to make it one more week before our vacation in Colorado? What will happen there? I praise the Lord that I don't have to worry about the answers.
