One Week Later
Wow. I hadn't realized that I hadn't written an entry in a week. For some that is normal, but for me, it is quite the opposite. I guess that is what happens when life happens.
There has been a lot of ups and downs this last week, and most days I didn't really feel like writing about them. There weren't any new recipes that I tried, except for these yummy whole wheat-no shortening added- sugar cookies that are pretty rockin. In spirit of rule #60 (I am having a HARD time with this one), I'm not going to post it until Friday.
Life is good. I'm trying to fight of this cold. I felt like it was going away but then today my throat started to hurt with a renewed ferver. Oh well. That's life I guess.
There are a few really good things I have learned this last week:
Like I said in my last post: Prayers are answered-it may take time but they are.
Other things I have learned:
-Patience is hard to come by, but worth the work.
-There are some things in life that you just cannot control, no matter how much you want to. Point in case- my family's dog, Bucko, passed away on Saturday due to unknown cancer in the spleen and liver. He lived 15 years and I still remember going with my siblings and parents to pick him out. I'm going to miss him terribly. He was a really good dog (its sad that I am still crying over it. He's a member of the family to me!). I'm sad that when I go visit my parents he won't be there to greet me when I go in the backyard. Sad day.
-Family is the cure-all for any ailment-I don't know how many times I talked to my parents last week. I also love and cherish the time that I get to spend with my husband and my daughter. Family is awesome.
-My Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Our life is kind of up in the air with a few things-one being- knowing when and where we are moving to. As of right now they don't need my husband in Maine until June-July, but they are possibly thinking about sending us somewhere else in the mean time. Friday we should know more. Hopefully.
-Heavenly Father knows the future. That should be good enough. I always want to know what is going to happen, what the future holds. I get frustrated when I don't have any semblence of a plan. Well, this year is a whole lot of not knowing what the future holds, but I can put comfort in the fact that Heavenly Father knows exactly what is going to happen, and if I put my trust in Him I shall not fear.
-Friends are awesome!-Its wonderful that I have friends who know what I need, and will help me unselfishly. I am grateful for their companionship and friendship.
These are things I learned this week.
Ooooooo, lets end with an up- my brother proposed to his now-fiance! YAY!!!! They are getting married this summer and I am so excited!
