Rough week in kimville

it has been a rough week -God is good ALL THE TIME and things turned out ok- for me
I faced some things like death a 2ND time -- the first being my hysterectomy --for some reason that time I felt like I was looking at death --and then this week --with that tech and the bone scan-- wow -- I am not sure I want to "face" my death -- maybe going fast like Kristi in the accident is a better way then a long drawn out thing I guess God has it all under His control and He takes us when it is our time , So if this wasn't MY time then I know He does have a mighty plan to use what I have been thru for His kingdom work - it was a good test of not jumping ahead in my head and playing things out without putting God in the control seat- I had to keep the reigns on my emotions and reign in the fear and sadness... and lean on Him trusting Him --

Junk

there is lots of junk going on ...needing prayers

my Bible devotions today were Romans 8:28-38

28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose

And The Lord knows I love Him sooo it is all good right?

no matter what...

So this next week keeping my eyes focused on Him ...and not on what ails me ---

School is IN!

Well summer is over the school year has began...

Now it is on to getting the house cleaned and keeping it cleaned!!

sleep

Blessed sleep... in a house of teenagers it seems to be something elusive... I don't know why they say teenagers need the most sleep of anyone...I say teenagers MOM's need the most sleep of anyone.
last night didn't go to bed until midnightish then someone Jeremy was out of the house at 6 am -- he didn't get permission so now I am up grrrrrr

teenagers and toddlers I swear they are the same personalities...
my toddlers (the boys) never slept... they wanted to do it themselves (Independence) they talked among themselves often plotting things ( yup still doing that.) they fight over toys..( the truck and the gas in it is just a bigger toy)
Twin boys HA HA HA God... thanks so much ...
