Sorrow will turn to joy

For the Christian, God always designs your sorrow to end in joy - if not here, then in eternity!
Lk.1:5-25. (Zachariah and Elizabeth)

He carries me

Jesus carries me. It is not that I have done the right things to keep my head above water, but that he has had his arms under me. Not just "God helps me" but "without Me you can do nothing."

We are busy.
The older 3 children do schoolwork (yes, we are still homeschooling).
David works from home (no, he did not end up getting a new job earlier this year).
We have a lot to build a house on now, but no house plan. (You mean a ranch house with 4 bedrooms and an office, handicap-accessible, is not a stock floor plan?)
Peter has 4-5 therapists of different sorts coming to our house every week till he turns 3.
A small army of church friends comes and serves us at various times in various ways - an enormous blessing!
I drink kefir smoothies every day and attempt to oversee schoolwork, carry out therapy, plan meals, be a wife, and get some amount of sleep (more often than not, praying for energy while running on too little sleep, and seeing God provide it).

God is good.
