Well, about 2 weeks ago I said that life was kind of ho-hum...not so now!!! Family life has kind of gone into overdrive in a very short space of time.
One daughter is going into overdrive trying to get music together for another camp season (at the same time that she is preparing to minister at a women's conference this weekend)!!!! The other daughter is trying valiantly to work full-time, recover from a miscarriage, and get moved while still maintaining a homelife???!!!!! Carolyn (the wife of one of my "adopted" sons) is dealing with mastitis for the 3rd time in 5 months. My father-in-law is in the hospital with emphysema and pnuemonia. My mother has had a couple more mini-strokes. And I am dealing with a couple of health issues of my own!!! Also, John (my other "adopted" son) is trying to get an apartment in preparation for his upcoming marriage (July 8th), and is also dealing with the death of his paternal grandmother.
Needless to say, my husband and I have spent quite a bit of time in prayer over the past two weeks!! Actually, sometimes I have just spent the time crying, trusting that Jesus knows what my heart wants to say, but I can't get out!
Today, as I was trying to pull myself together to go to work, a chorus kept running over and over in my mind:
My life is in you, Lord! My strength is in you, Lord!
My hope is in you, Lord! In you, it's in you.
I will praise you with all of my life,
I will praise you with all of my strength.
With all of my life, with all of my strength,
All of my hope it's in you!!!
I just have to keep reminding myself, that as the chorus says, it's in Him, not me that my hope lies!

Dear Sis. Theresa,
I read your post here the other day and have been praying for you since. I hope the different situations mentioned are improving. Aren't you thankful that we don't have to carry these burdens alone? We can cast all of our care upon Him for He cares for us. Stay in touch, dear friend.
