Ups and Downs

It's been a while since I've posted. Jeff's still on the job search. I worked a full week this past week at the flower shop where I've been working part time. It's a fun place to work, but I was exhausted from being on my feet and I missed being home with the boys. How do working moms get everything done? Jeff was home with the kids and kept up with some of the housework, but when does the rest get done? By the time I got home from work, had dinner, did bedtime with the kids, I just wanted to crash! I'm not working today so I've done the floors and laundry to get caught up.

For the most part we've really had peace in trusting God to provide a job and our financial needs. Some days have gotten harder as time goes on though. It's been three weeks tomorrow morning and it's harder to remain confident. My knowledge of God's abilities has not changed, but keeping my mind and emotions from wandering away from that is getting harder. It's like the movie-style angel and demon on my shoulders with the one whispering about God never letting us down and the other whispering that it's been three weeks, what are we going to do... some days it takes a lot of effort to keep my focus on the right character.

Anyway. Yesterday of course was Mothers' Day. It was beautiful here. I enjoyed being at church, then came home and took a long nap. I'm not usually a big napper and I didn't want to sleep that long, but I was really worn out. I was served dinner and Jeff even made a cake for me! I think this afternoon we're going to go walk the dam, which was our plan for yesterday afternoon until we all fell asleep!

Happy mothers' day to all you moms out there, I hope it was great!
