4 A Reason

Whether we are willing to admit it or not, Everything happens for a reason, right? Sometimes I want to ask God why, but I know better and I try take a few minutes to pout or whatever and then "keep it moving"! We found out that the military will take daddy away for a few birthdays and most of the summer and I was obviously sad when I heard the news and then I realized that he'll be here for the holidays and back in time to see out 4th grader begin school! There really is a silver lining to everything, finding it is usually the problem (at least for me). I heard someone say..."if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans" and I'm almost positive that He's doubled over laughing at me right this minute and instead of crying I'll have to laugh too because no too many things are going the way we planned, but I know that's for a reason and I'm hoping to find out what that reason is soon :-) The things I consider to be problems are minor in the grand scheme of things and I've been in an emotional mood for the last few days...so don't mind me, I'm just venting. We are healthy and happy and blessed in so many ways that I feel silly for using this post as my sounding board, but no one understands me like...me so I don't really feel like this counts as talking to myself, lol! We're off on another adventure...kind of think I'll be happy when school starts and we settle into a normal schedule again. In the meantime, I'm thanking God for good family and friends to help us through the trying times and laugh with us through everything else. Gotta go
