What A Difference A Day Makes.

Sleeping has definately made me feel a little better. Listening to gospel music made me feel closer to god, and helping to care for gods people made me feel like my problems were small.
I helped care for a sick sister again today and it made my problems seem smaller. Not non-existant, but deffinately smaller. As I listened to my CD's I felt closer to god, and sleeping took away my headache. So a day makes a lot of difference. And while my trials will never be over, I asked god for comfort and he deffinately lightened my load.
I am thankful today for the things and people I have. I am thankful for Sister Velvadene, she has been there and let me cry on her shoulder through some pretty rough stuff. I am thankful for my sisters, Naomi, Marisela, Heather, and Rene'. They have just let me know they're praying and told us they love us and that's what we needed above all. I am thankful for my husband, he has been my rock for a long thirteen years, and continues to support, and comfort me. I am thankful for my children, BJ who can ask more questions than 400 four year olds, Bobby my oldest daughter who has faced so much and can still smile, Charity who is so strict about following the rules(she keeps me in line sometimes jk) Daniel who's name means shock value(everything he says he hopes to make someone react in a loud way) Elizabeth, who from day one has been a great comfort in times of need, Ezekiel poor baby nobody can understand a word he says but we still try, and finally I'm thankful for Faith, whose favorite song at the moment is Barbara Manatee from Veggie Tales, and she thinks she can sing it in church.(she doesn't do anything that we don't think is cute) I'm thankful that we have a running vehicle. I'm thankful for my washer and dryer tonight, and for the laughter we are still able to find. Our philosofy "if you don't laugh you'll cry." And I hate to cry!!
Okay I think you've heard enough of my thankfulness. I learned something today, when life is at the point you really can take no more god sends comfort in the most amazing ways. For me that comfort was I GOT A HOUSE. We have been trying to find a house for 7 months. Guess why this man chose us to rent his house? Because my husband and I went to look at the house together and because we were holding hands when we walked up to say hi. Also, get this BECAUSE we have 7 Children. I am so greatful to the lord for his mercy tonight.
God comforts us in the strangest ways sometimes. Today, I was feeling sorry for myself, I was also trying to get my daughter to sleep, crying and trying to hide it. She was really cranky and needed a nap. Anyway, She reached up and put her tiny hand on my cheek and said momma sing. I'm not real good at singing but I put my whole heart into it, and I have always sung to my kids. Anyway, I really wanted comfort and had prayed for it. When I asked her what she wanted me to sing she said "Make a Blessing" it comforted me so much. "God will make this trial a blessing" is my favorite song, I learned it from my Uncle Gene and it's just a special song to me. Anyway I sung it and just singing lightened my load. I think it's harder to sing when your down so it brings you up further.
Well it's getting late, and I still need to move beds into my new to me house. Yay!!! Thank you everyone who has been praying for us. I'm thanking you because I am greatful, but I just want to let you know my family still needs the prayers DON'T STOP YET.
Tomorrow evening we are having an important meeting and would appreciate the prayers. Good night.
