This is the Day..... Thank God for Mothers (and Fathers)!

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24

Thank you God for letting me be a mother twice! What a blessing and how much the experience teaches me and stretches me every day!

As a cancer survivor, I am forever reminded Life could be so much worse as I see the suffering around me. Lord I lift up my friends to you who are battling all sorts of illnesses and pray for healing. I praise you from sparing me from Cancer at least for now. Thank you Lord!

I sruggling everyday with the side effects from the synthroid and the fact the Dr wants me to continue to increase it. But my suffering is far from that from those around me. It puts it into perspective. I truly have nothing to compain about and ask for forgiveness constantly. Who am I to complain? What more do I deserve?

My heart pounds with anxiety at night along wiht night sweats that often prevent me from getting rest. I "sleep" but with so much tossing and turning I am not sure if you could call it that. My hair continues to fallout in handfulls, and between the weight gain and water retention, I am back up 3+ lbs in one week. Sam is a saint for what he has to deal with, with me. The worse part for me is the bouts of lack of clarity in thought. The Dr said to be patient and that it would get better when the hormone levels are correct. But I am doubtful. As I increase I only see more problems but less.

So long story short I went from 100 mg to 125 mg and was only able to do this twice last week and I felt so bad I stopped. I get so tired on a whim that I am unable to keep my eyes open. But as soon as I return home I hit the bed fast. Yesterday I had a power nap - I was out for 30-40 minutes and it felt like the whole night. It is strange I have energy but not stamina.

But good news my contract was extended so I still get to work from home! I love my team and am very excited so thank you Lord for providing! And I will be working on some other projects for a friend too!

Please pray with us on options for school next year. We want the Lord's will but we are being pulled toward home schooling again so thank you for your prayers.

God bless you and have a great weekend and Mother's Day!
