So it has been a while since I have posted, we have been very busy. As we take steps closer to Leroy's last days with us on earth I have to admit life feels a little like a blindfolded roller coaster. Not in a bad way but simple that God has control of our lives as both the car and the track and speed in which we race through life. I am simple amazed at how many things (circumstances) my husband can take on and not fall apart or question God in any way.
Since the 8th of May I have been sick or injured in some way. The last time resulting in medication and so far a week long battle. I am so tired of coughing, gagging and throwing up. It feels like when I was pregnant with Kaylee with no reward in the end. And no I am not pregnant!!! We have also put the house up for sale and praise God in three weeks have sold the house. Once again praise God. We are moving seems like a surreal statement as we have been trying to move for two years. Today we are heading out to find a new home for us. We have narrowed down a list from our agent to six homes, we pray that one will fit us and our pockets at the same time.
As I said above we feel like God has us on this crazy roller coaster of life with hills, valleys, and deep depths that make me question my own relationship with Christ. I am finding it difficult to want to be in the word but not at all difficult to pray constantly. I even find myself quietly praying in the bathroom. Hehe hehe hehe
Please pray that we find a home, that Leroy and Lois have comfort during these last steps in his journey to meet the Father. Pray that we all can stay healthy as we have a lot to do. Pray for the Lord's guidance and overall pray that we never sway from the roller coaster God has put us on as he is divinely sovereign and we should never second guess His power and influence in our lives.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuteed, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:7-18
