New Week!!!

I have had so much anxiety lately. Maybe it is because I am trying to get back into the swing of things with babysitting full time again, school being back in session and so on. But I think a lot of it has to do with personal issues and other things life threw my way. I have been really sick lately and its really bringing me down. I am dealing with a new allergy to onions of all things. Well it seems everything has onions or onion powder in it. This is extremely hard to deal with. Today I found out that spaghetti sauce has onions in it. I love spaghetti.

I know there are huge mountains in the coming week but I am putting all my trust in HIM who is my Comforter and Peace Speaker to see me through and help me through each situation that is coming my way. He is my All and All. I know He will see me through life's circumstances.

Today has been a hard day for Jared. He was sitting in church having chest pains.This is very scary for a parent because I don't know what to do. He has a deformed chest and the cardiologist said he may have pain from it when he grows but it could also cause pain if it doesn't grow out and there isn't enough space. So we have been watching him today and having him rest as much as possible. If he isn't feeling better tomorrow we will call the doctor and go from there. That is unless things get worse tonight we will head to the ER.

Today we celebrated Jalen's 13th with my parents, grandparents, sister, Shane, Lis, Bradley, Jalen, Maddy, and Jared. We had a good dinner and I think he had a good birthday. His sister and Bradley really made it awesome by getting him a new purdue shirt and water bottle. Then Jalen and Bradley went to Walmart and got ammo for Jalens gun. Bradley just transferred to Purdue so we will get to see him more. He is a great guy and not only does he treat Lis good he is good to her family. I am so thankful for him being in our lives. Lis starts her second year at Purdue tomorrow!!!!! I really can't believe this because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating her 13th birthday!!

I am so thankful for all the positives in our lives right now but there is a lot that I pray God moves in!! But its not Stacy's timing its His timing. So I will continue to pray and trust in Him through all the storms.

I was sure by now 
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I'm with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

Chorus:
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I'm with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who givesAnd takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
