This song is in my head today as I wait to hear from Chris if our credit score is high enough to start looking for houses. We’re not quite ready I don’t think, but I know house hunting can take a long time (especially with our budget) so it would be awesome to start looking. And I’ll be fine if we get a “it’s not quite there yet” advice from the mortgage guy. Because I’m content with where we are. And frankly, I like saving money. So if we need to stay put a few more months, to me, it just means there will be more money in our account for repairs or a new washer/dryer or whatever.
Anyway. This song is awesome I think because of this line, “In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I’m blessed.”
SO TRUE.
I don’t go to a Baptist church but if I did I’d be in my pew yelling “PREACH” all day long. I love that. And it’s what I want to say when I hear a line like that.
YES! YES! YES!
I AM blessed. Big time. Even in the chaos and uncertainty we’re living in right now.
Because let’s see. Since Christmas…
1. The kids all had the stomach flu three times and C and I had it once
2. We moved from my in-laws to my parents
3. We’ve seen a pulmanologist, alergist and homeopath for Parker
4. We found out Parker had lots of food allergies/sensitivities and we changed the way our family eats in a MAJOR way
5. Gray had a CT scan on his sinuses and had over 50 days of antibiotics (and is also on a ton of probiotics right now!)
6. Chris had his car stolen
7. We went car shopping
8. C’s car was found
9. We’ve brought a new person into Fresh Art (announcement coming soon!)
10. The kids had three ear infections and two cases of pneumonia during a crazy ice storm/snow storm
And I’m sure I’m forgetting something.
Having a car stolen, moving AGAIN, super sickness and major diet changes is a lot for two months. A LOT.
But in the midst of it all we are continually blessed.
Which is awesome.
Because God is so so awesome.
Happy Tuesday!
AMEN SISTA!
LOVE that song and love you, friend!
I wish your 2011 had gotten off to a better start! Love that song.. thanks for sharing! I am so excited to hear the FA announcement! Lastly… LOVE your new photo under the blog header! Too cute!
I love that this song will be stuck in my head now that I read your blog. I love the part of “this is the stuff you use”. I OFTEN forget to know God is using everything in my life (for my good) and get frustrated with the little things. thanks so much for sharing this!
I wish your eternal optimism were genetic and I had been given some too.
That is a lot to go through in two months and you are AMAZING that you are still able to see how blessed you are.
love ya!
