grateful

A year ago, my parents drove down to Kingsville to go to my first pregnancy appt with me.

As I reflect on the last year, and how insane it has been, I remember the two things I prayed for daily all last year while in Kingsville, and when I got back to Dallas.

1.  A healthy baby
2.  A different/better job for Mike

Amazingly, God graciously gave me what I asked for in both situations - Allie is wonderful, healthy, and adorable, and Mike has a wonderful job that he loves.  While he was a wonderful teacher and hard worker in Dallas, it is so wonderful to see him get to use all of his talents, and be appreciated on top of that.

So thank you God, for giving us such an amazing and wonderful daughter, and for providing a better situation for Mike.

I have a few other prayer requests these days - God, you know what they are.  I am hoping and trusting that you will help me with these.

I know that there are those of you who have prayer requests going out to God for various concerns and desires in your lives.  I am praying for and with you - and I am trusting that no matter what happens, God will bring about the best for you and yours.

Much Love,
Sarah

Trials

Today is one of those ugh kinda days.

Nothing major - just your normal mom stuff.

I did manage to snap a cute shot of Allie between crying sessions.

All I really have to say can be summed up in the following scripture:

Matthew 11:28
"Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

I hope so God...cause emotionally, I'm worn out.

Persevere

Hi friends and family -

I post this with the plan to restart my blogging - and to get away from facebook for a while, and yet still post photos of our beautiful and healthy and amazing daughter God blessed us with.

Life has been very overwhelming, and yet I know I need to keep pushing, keep working, keep praying, and keep hoping for all the things I want for myself, for our daughter and our family.

I am hoping to get positive feedback on some of my writing; I am hoping that I feel competent when I help out with moppets tomorrow morning, and I hope that I can contribute to the Stephen's ministry meeting in a productive way on Tuesday.
I also hope that God provides me with some confidence in what I do and in what I love to do soon - lately I feel so inadequate and inept in so many ways.


I hope you have a great start to your week.

Love,
Sarah Mac
