This has felt like the week that would never end. Ok, I know in my head that this isn't true but it has felt that way. In fact, it has been kind of an oppressive month. To name a few things: My job ended. (Ok, I was planning on this one but it happened sooner that I was ready for. Even change you are anticipating can be stressful.); Three people I know have totalled their cars, several others with car trouble. Mark's bonus may or may not happen (know you shouldn't plan on those things but you kind of do). Two people I know of lost loved ones in the last couple of days. Things breaking left and right (thankfully nothing major). I guess part of the frustration is that Jordan is going through some kind of change. I don't know if it is part of his system cleaning out from the new supplements or growing or what but his behavior has been challenging. Yesterday brought us a major meltdown that took me a good hour or more to work though. After it was all over I was exhausted the rest of the day, I think I went to bed at 9:00.
The good news, this month is almost over. I have to remind myself to keep counting my blessings and that my contentment or lack thereof is not or should not be dependent on my circumstances. Along with Jordan's challenging behavior seems to be a sort of language explosion where he is adding more descriptive words and putting things into a more sentence like structure. He keeps asking for a vacation which makes me wonder if he doesn't need some "down time" to process all of the new information. We are praying that we could come up with the money for a little trip of some kind without digging into our emergency fund. Also on the good news front, Mark has had 2 side jobs this week-one was for a missions organization and one was an individual. Not a lot of money, but every little bit helps.
Better get the school work started for the day. The thought that popped into my head just now is: My grace is sufficient. So, in His grace and sufficiency, I head out into my day.
