So hears a story... of a gal named Holly, who had 7 lovely children of her own.....Ok I don't know why the Brady Bunch tune is in my head. LOL So I guess I haven't written in a while because things have been a bit crazy. I've been busy working on my SendOutCards Business, organizing our house, setting up chores for 7 kids, figuring out a meal plan for everyone, homeschooling 6 kids, attempting to figure out what normal is, selling things on craigslist, killing mice, working on emotional issues, taking kids to counseling, the doctor, getting rid of stalkers, working on my business a little more, visiting people that need help, trying not to stress, working on teaching my kids the Bible, dancing, laundry, keeping the house in a bit of order, tying to figure out money till my business grows, keeping up on the car, paying bills, trying to stay cool, raising a teenager, and so much more, all while trying not to go insane. I've been trying really hard to balance all of that with out being so exhausted I don't want to attempt to do anything at all. I am seeing how just being a stay at home mom of seven is a lot of work in itself. But to be the sole provider too, it is hard. God is good and provides and I am trying not stress, but it's kind of overwhelming at times. My counselors have compared my family and what we have been through, to a train wreck. We were all in a wreck and some of us came away with internal injury's but look fine, while others were buried in rubble, and maybe some only got a scratch. We are all different, but yet everyone has the relief that we are still alive and the wreck is over. While we are all relieved, my counselors threw in the idea, what if you found out the reason you were in the wreck is because the conductor fell asleep? So crazy. I don't feel anger, but I think the relief is wearing off and the reality of what I have been left with is sinking in. God is good and is helping us sort it all out. Balancing working and kids and home life is interesting. Never knowing how the next bill is getting paid exactly. Feeling like network marketing business is such a slow going thing, but with so much potential. My only hope is to grow it big enough to where I won't have to worry about working sooo much. And my ultimate desire is to help others. I'm hoping in 5 years I can be the one reaching out to others financially and not the other way around. I guess just keep me in your prayers, I am in a very stressful stage of all this and trying to sort it all out.
"All things work together for good, to those who love God. and are called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
