Oh My...

This week has not turned out like I thought it would. I didn't really have thoughts as to how it would be, but I didn't expect it to be as stressful and frustrating as it has turned out to be. I would say at least 99% of it is the devil trying to pull me down because I know God is up to something. One area I have been hit this week is finances...I mean I got hit hard! One would think...especially me...that that would be the area I'm most stressed. Surprisingly enough, I have a peace about the situation I am facing. It has caused other emotions but I know it's going to work out...worst case scenario I will pay for the rest of my life (not really but it feels like it lol) and I am pretty calm. I've been trying to write a post since Sunday because I've had a "aha" moment that just completely shocked me. I typed out at least three different posts but as I reread what I wrote I just decided to come back later and try to rewrite it. Today I am just so frustrated I almost don't care if my post isn't organized and doesn't make sense, I just have to write to try to turn this week around. I've been reading updates about a very sad situation because I felt drawn to one of the people involved. I decided to take some time and read from start to finish the updates and as I was coming to an end I finally saw that God was working on me...molding me. I'm a very transparent person and when I have these moments I tend to share all the fun details. For some reason I feel like I am supposed to be quiet about this one. I'm not sure why nor am I 100% positive I am supposed to be quiet but it's just that feeling I get...especially once I have been trying to write about it since Sunday. I honestly feel, however, that the events of this week is just the devil trying to steal my joy. He is working hard and I'm having to be real careful in one area but in other areas I just look at him and laugh. I'm hoping with my not having to work for two days I can enjoy Thanksgiving...well..as much as I can. Me and Maddy have a lot to be thankful for. I am so thankful that I get to be her mom...I love spending time with her. I know this post may or may not make sense but it's the best I could do for now. I may or may not write again before Thanksgiving, so just in case...Happy Thanksgiving from Maddy and me :)
