This little thing called life.

Well January has definitely not been our month.  As I am sure most of you know back in August I totaled my car and broke my nose. So with having surgery done and planning a wedding, buying another vehicle just wasn't on the top of our "to do list". Then October came and Corey was in a wreck a woman hit him and totaled his truck.  With not much of vehicle funds to spare we found Corey what we thought to be a really good truck for the money. Little did we know, not so much.

We kept saying a new year will be better.  We will start over! So I finally got my final surgery done and the same weekend my husband gets a call that he got the job in Carrollton, GA (which we were really excited about). So we decided after I recover he will come pick us up and take us to Carrollton with him and then we will come back home so we can have the truck. Well my recovery took longer than expected and was horrible. The doctor said I wasn't resting enough and to stop bending over when I pick Connor up (Ha! He must not have kids). Then Connor got sick, and still is. So Corey came home Wednesday to pick us up as planned and right when he pulled in the truck broke down.  Luckily, his sister, Amanda let us borrow her car to take to Carrollton for the night.  So now still not breathing good with my nose, a very sick little boy, my husband out of town and no way to see him, and no vehicle....this year has definitely started out not the way we had planned.  I guess you can say I have turned into one emotional girl. Which Corey just keeps saying It will be okay and everything will work out. Although I trust him and know he is probably right, but I guess the woman is the worrier.

So last night I was laying in bed doing what I am sure every woman in the world does at night. Going over every little thing you need to pay and all the things you need to do or finish. Just pretty much stressing myself out even more. So I got on Facebook and a bible verse was posted.
James 1:2,3 My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested. 
And in that instant I realized how silly I sounded by stressing so much. God has taken care of me my whole life and has never forsaken me.  So why would he now? I just needed a reminder that He will get us through this just as he has every other obstacle in our life.

So still with all the same issues going on when I woke up, I felt a little better about them. Because I know we will get through it and soon it will just be another memory we will look back at and know we made it passed!
