Still....

Yes, I am STILL here...

Still working out (have dropped TWO pants sizes!!!! I am beyond thrilled about that!) and still brown as a berry (if you can't tone it, tan it!)

But also...

STILL working at a job that I'm less than thrilled about, my pay has been cut and the job will end in August!

STILL looking for a job that will pay my bills and where God can use me in a BIG way!

STILL praying for a new place to live...

STILL needing a new(er) car...

STILL fretting about some major financial obligations that are looming and STILL needing that big bucket of money to fall out of the sky!

STILL worrying about my sister...

And yet...

I'm STILL blessed!

Blessed to have a God who loved me and my flawed, screwed-up self enough to sacrifice His perfect Son for me so that He could be MY friend!

Blessed to have three of the greatest kids in the world to call my own. Blessed that they are happy, healthy and good kids.

Blessed to have a hard-working husband that loves me and still looks good! (guess that was a pretty good idea marrying someone who looked twelve at the time! lol)

Blessed to have an awesome family!

Blessed that God answered my prayers and gave me the best, most awesomest friends in the world!

Blessed that we have a roof over our heads (though it's a small one!) and our bills are paid (for now! lol)

Blessed to have an awesome church home!

Blessed to have so many things to look forward to!

Blessed to know that the Word of God says to "Be STILL and know that I am God"

So that's what I will do....

still!

You be blessed and be still also!
