God answers prayer as we seek HIS will!!

Yesterday was a nerve wrecking day......we waiting to hear from the doctors regarding Cory's scans and the wait was misreable. 
It was 5:30 before they arrive to tell us the news.
As we waited our minds were all over the place....we anticipated the worst and perpared ourselves for it. But they arrived and the news was better than good......
The chemo is working and his cancer has shrunk by 50% which is amazing!!

So we give God the Glory....not oils, or meds, or chemo but prayers and faith and acceptance of what His will is for Cory's life.

As a sister of the wife who has the 3 kids I am thanking God for more time and more memories. 

Praising God for how Good he is Always!

Glory to God in the highest!!!

Returning after a long break and life completely changing....

Ever wake up and look at your life and think " How is it that I made it here?"

I do and did today....a house full of young kids which I babysit , staying home with my kids to homeschool, physically God has healed me from extreme pain for over 7 years and after a breakdown I am finally stable.
Why?????? Because God is good in the midst of the storm he is there holding our hand, loving us and guiding us to HIM. 

Well my family is in the midst of another storm....not financially but health wise. We are walking along with my baby sister and her husband thru cancer. An illness I never thought we would see so early on in our life. With babies to raise and young children, the last thing in your mind is cancer. Yet God again in his sovereign way is using this to grow us closer to Him each day. 
We trust, pray, and bare our faces and souls in His word that is living water and hope for the despair. 

So this is what make me come to writing again, because when you have something this big in your life God wants us to share it and open our lives and hearts to others so he can be glorified. 

Today I am thankful for so much and just like my brother in law who is my little brother sings. 
Live like there is no tomorrow.......because we don't know what tomorrow holds and we need to enjoy today....
Love our husband, children, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Help a friend, call a friend, Hug and show Gods goodness today.

And who knows but that you have come to your ROYAL POSITION for such a time as THIS???
Esther 4:14

Look around and see what is God doing in your life and asking you to step into????

I know I am.

Sister in the Word,

Inspired after seeing Moms Night Out

Wednesday night I took mom to see Moms Night Out with my sister. It was her Mother's Day gift from us. The story was cute and one I was able to relate with. The past couple of months I have been recovering from burn out. I quit my full time job and came home and started to babysit 4 young kids to provide and homeschool my 4 kids. 

I really didn't understand why I was so tired so fatigue and exhausted. My body ached , headaches everyday and exhaustion. 

There was time for a change and I knew I needed to find out what the cause for my fatigue.

In the movie there was a scene that touched me.... It was when the biker told her that she was Enough and that she was the only one holding those high expectations on herself. 

So true for me....I am the one that wants PERFECTION...
Perfect Clean house, smooth schedule, good dinners , stay in shape etc....
But in reality does it matter? Who is watching me be this perfect and cares about it so much but me !

So know I take it a day at a time ...evaluation the cause of my obsession? And making sure I am doing my job in excellency but not perfection...

I will journal about my day and my thoughts...my Highs and Lows and how God is transforming me into His image. 

With Love,
Jessie
