Grappling

This past week has been a bit challenging for me, as I struggle with contentment amongst a new, more frequent therapy schedule for Aggie and School kicking off for Shiloh. And I have had a lingering cough for about 3 weeks, to which I want to say, "go away!". I am reminded of the verse 1 Tim 6:6 "Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment....." I plead to the Lord....... fill me with contentment. I think of others who suffer in far more sever ways, trying to find my footing for perspective.

It is so hard to lay down myself, to completely abandon self for the good of others, or even at offenses incurred, and freely forgive again and again...... As to say, it is not I who live, but Christ, it is not my offense to carry, and throw it to the Cross. I think of Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer i who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Lord if only I may live this out! That I may be a conduit of your grace to all I encounter.

My sweet husband came to my rescue, as I communicated my restlessness, he suggested we get away for the weekend, so we did just that. We ended up in Gulfport, MS, at a hotel with a pool. We capitalized on the pool, and also spent sometime in the book store(a Schloss family favorite) and a brief visit to the mall. Which is where we got these great photo's, since I forgot the camera at home.

Look how much Aggie love's her daddy!

Thanks for my time away love, I am thankful to God for the care I received this weekend!
