The battle continues

We have just completed another week full of anxiety, disrupted schedules, and minimal time in prayer and bible study. This week didn't involve sick children, but a remodeled bathroom, our only bathroom. The craziness of no shower or bathroom facilities combined with all the running around to find parts for the unexpected problems was and is overwhelming. Thankfully we have a very gracious neighbor who has allowed us to use her shower and sleep at her house during the week. Personally, my brain snapped on Saturday afternoon when after completing a one legged bike workout, I was holding a screaming baby who was supposed to be asleep, but woke up the second Beth left to go grocery shopping, and I received a phone call telling me that the park reservation for the 8K race we are setting up for the Caring Pregnancy Center was not made like I had thought and that we will have to change the date after two months of planning. At this point I proceed to "remodel" a toy baby carriage. I wondered where is God in my hurting up knee, crying baby, and messed up race plans. I needed God to be real because I couldn't take anymore. He did prove himself faithful because I received a call from three different people, including the directer or the CPC, saying the date we are trying to reschedule to works better. Also, Beth was able to manage the kids' baths while I was in the backyard kicking the soccer ball trying to cool down. Things aren't all roses now, we still don't have a shower, I need to get myself or someone over to the rec center to finalize the park reservations tomorrow during regular work hours, and now Beth is feeling sick, blahhhhh.

Please pray this week that I can get my support letters out and for peace in our house.
