Despair


We're up, we're down, we're all around.  


Just when we think we have the world by the tail, we get caught up short.  


Emily is sick again.

  3. Oh no! We'll keep praying. I don't know what your homeschool stuff looks like exactly, but if it would help, the kids and I could come to Maryland for a while and I could just lead a whole one-room schoolhouse out of Grnamda's place. :) Seriously, if I could do that or ANYTHING else to help, let me know!

  4. Oh Holly. My heart aches with you.

    Need You Now,
    by Plumb

    Well, everybody's got a story to tell
    And everybody's got a wound to be healed
    I want to believe there's beauty here
    'Cause oh I get so tired of holding on
    I can't let go, I can't move on
    I want to believe there's meaning here

    Chorus:
    How many times have you heard me cry out
    "God please take this"?
    How many times have you given me strength to
    Just keep breathing?
    Oh, I need you
    God, I need you now.

    Standing on a road I didn't plan
    Wondering how I got to where I am
    I'm trying to hear that still small voice
    I'm trying to hear above the noise

    Chorus:
    How many times have you heard me cry out
    "God please take this"?
    How many times have you given me strength to
    Just keep breathing?
    Oh, I need you
    God, I need you now.


    Oh I walk, Oh I walk through the shadows
    And I, I am so afraid
    Please stay, please stay right beside me
    With every single step I take

    How many times have you heard me cry out?
    And how many times have you given me strength?

    Chorus:
    How many times have you heard me cry out
    "God please take this"?
    How many times have you given me strength to
    Just keep breathing?
    Oh, I need you
    God, I need you now.


    I need you now
    Oh, I need you
    God, I need you now
    I need you now
    I need you now

  5. Oh, Holly, I feel for your troubles. You just want to have your "normal" life back. You will be in my prayers - your whole family as well. Make sure you are stocked up on Pedialite, popsicles, etc. before the big storm hits. Nothing like dealing with a sick child when there is no electricity...........Keep your chin up and try to smile through this whole ordeal
    Much love and prayers,
    Anne

  8. Thank you, all!

    Janelle, thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind but for now we're not too far behind. Still love the one room schoolhouse offer! Wonder how long it would take for you to feel @#$%%% about the whole thing. :P

    Lindsay, you know a lot about it. Guess we've each shared the other's tears a bit.

    Sharon, you are an inspiration to our family, love your faithfulness in the face of adversity.


    Saralee, Anne, Sandy, Amy, Val, and Kendra, thank you for your love, care, and support.

    God is good. We will survive.
