Patience

Boo, it's Monday. ) :

Back to another week of work after a very short weekend, it seemed. But I got a lot accomplished over the weekend. Our house is now nearly empty, and pretty much everything has been transferred to storage temporarily. It's kind of sad to see an empty house again...when just a year ago I was filling it up with stuff and making it my own!

So my husband has been at his new job for a couple weeks...he doesn't really like it all that much right now-he has to work some pretty crazy hours. He goes in early and doesn't come hope til around 9 pm. ) : I'm sad cuz I don't get to see him as much as I used to! But I guess that gives me something to look forward to on the weekends! But they just don't last long enough...

I really need to get another job, but I just don't know what! I'm a personal trainer right now, but I don't work enough hours at all. Personal training can hardly be a full time job. So I can either find another gym to work at,too, or find a completely different job...doing what, I have no idea! But at least God is providing right now. That's all I can ask for! I just can't wait to get out of this "transition" phase, or whatever you wanna call it. Guess I just have to be patient.

Psalm 37:7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
