I'm still sick...

I need a place to whine, and this seems to be it for now. Randy has taken Makenna to a birthday party this afternoon, and I'm here by myself. All of the reality of his job loss is starting to set in, and I still don't feel back to normal. I went back to the dr. yesterday. They did a lung test, and it said that I had mild restrictions. So, they made me do a breathing treatment and take the test again. It wasn't lots better, so we talked and decided to go for a chest xray. The good news... no pneumonia, the bad news ... lots of antibiotic. (4 a day)
I pushed myself this morning with washing clothes, changing sheets, etc, and now I'm exhausted. So, here I am... I'm tired of laying around, so I'm surfing the net. I've prayed a lot, and have some things that I would like to share....

God has made Himself obvious to us in a lot of ways, but here are just a few.
1 - We had been visiting Holston Creek Baptist Church for a couple of months. This past Sunday, we joined, and God knew we were going to need strong Christian support through this entire ordeal. I could not have taken the church stress where we had gone along with all of this. His ways are higher...

2 - We recently bought Randy two pairs of glasses. God knew that we would have no vision insurance.

3 - Even though this is little, we recently bought up a bunch of cleaning supplies... not sure why. Not something I typically buy a lot of, but He knew we would be cutting corners.

4 - God sent my friend Ann to ask for Makenna to stay with her daughter, Sara, last night in order to give us some time to talk. It helped!
These are just a few of the many ways He's made himself obvious over the last couple of days. I know He will continue to provide for us. Just bare with me if I feel the need to whine every now and then... I'll try to keep it to a minumum.

I am so very very sorry to hear about your sickness and Randy's job. Your last few posts have been an amazing testament to your faith. God is working through you and for you during this hard time. I pray that the sense of peace that you feel will continue.
When we were trying to sell our house Andy kept telling me that our God was bigger than the housing market. Well, our God is bigger than unemployment too.
I love you girl and I'm here for you.
