Completely surrendered...

This post is LONG overdue...I've been preoccupied posting about orphans! But a little update from us:

not much going on! The Jeep is still sickly and last weekend Jeff had to spend all weekend working on the old man, Merc. But Merc is back up and running, praise the Lord! I've long since stopped worrying about these cars. I've completely turned it over to God.

The daycare is still closing. Some parents got up a petition to try and keep it open (which I thought was dumb--it's a church! They are going to do what they want to do and they don't care what anyone else wants or thinks. Plus why would you want to leave your kids somewhere where they aren't wanted? Us teackers want them and love them, sure. But you know what I mean.) but no success. So I will be jobless at the end of May. But I'm not worried. I've completely turned it over to God.

My nephew Drew's baby was born last week--a girl, Hayden Marie and my niece's baby was born the week before--a boy. I've yet to meet either baby but soon, I hope. I'm closer to Traci's (Jeff's sister) kids than I am his brother's kids. It just blows my mind that both are PARENTS now!

Still no baby for Mia yet. Today is the due date but it isn't likely to happen today. We are all SO READY for this baby. He is going to be the most loved little baby on the earth (and then that makes me think of all the little babies who aren't...or don't know that they are...or something! You know what I mean) But her having a baby blows my mind, too. This will be like my first grandchild! I was 14 when Mia was born so she has always felt like my "first baby". I know there's a difference. But still...when I look at her big and pregnant, I still see that little girl! But I can't wait to meet that little girl's little boy! And I pray that this baby will bring her and Chris to know the Lord. But I'm not worried. I've completely turned it over to God.

Jeff has been working a LOT of overtime and we are slowly but surely making some headway on our debt. We have also found a house that we like. I don't know if it's the house God has for us but I'm not worried. I've completely turned it over to God.

This is indeed an amazing feeling. I've never been in a place like this before, spiritually. I am the kind of person who tends to pray about stuff but still worry about it. I give it to God but then I take it back. It feels so weird (and so GOOD) to completely surrender and let Him handle it. I know He will. He always has, even when I DID get in His way! But I like this...it feels good!

Have a blessed week!
