Life's Blindfolded Rollercoaster

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.

Easter,Dentist and Catching up...

Okay, so it has been a while since I really blogged. We have been VERY busy. There were even weeks when I was not home at all during the weekdays. We have spent lots of time at Lois and Leroy's helping out with whatever we can do to make things easier for Lois. Plus there is the simple fact that Kaylee is good medicine for Lois and Leroy. She really does make him smile and she really enjoys helping Grandma take care of Grandpa. This is the first week I was home more than "in town". I have posted pictures from Easter, the dentist (Kaylee's 6 month check up) along with some other post tax season pictures. We are also into some heavy potty training around here. I would have hoped at three and half we would have mastered this skill but alas we are still working on using the toilet and not our pull up. God truly is giving me the patience to deal with Kaylee and the potty. I think I should write a tell all after she is grown this would be at least a fifty page chapter. Well I have rambled enough I hope that all of you are doing well and keeping out of trouble.


With great love,

Stephanie
