Everyday that I have my life planned and scheduled something else always comes up and changes it. I would like to believe that I am ok with change, but if I am truly honest I do not think I am. I like everything written down and in order. When it is not I feel I have no control and I do not like that feeling. But isn't that where God wants us? To the place where we have no control so we must give it to Him. The past couple of weeks I have had no control of life, and yes, it has been driving me crazy!!! In each situation God is showing me that I need to trust a little bit more.
Concerning my unspoken request:
God gave us a definite no! I am so thankful that He knows what He is doing. Now that I see the full picture I understand why He said no. :) I'm sorry, but I do not feel that I should explain the situation.
Concerning house sitting/ babysitting:
It has been crazy!!!!! Owen is 2 and he is overall a great kid! Only problem is Christiana thinks she rules the earth and he has to listen and obey her. haha! So yea she has been learning the world doesnt revolve around her. Been tough though because I am the one teaching her. :) She is so much like me that I see my own sin when I watch how she reacts and does things.
I have been attempting to potty train the both of them while I am here for the month. Not going so good. It was at first but now they have both decided to hide and go when I am not looking. I am taking them every 30 minutes and giving stickers when they do it. If you have any ideas that would help me out let me know. It is very overwhelming.
Christiana has not been sleeping good and I am sooooo very tired. Past 3 nights she has been getting up screaming. I love sleeping and to have a kid that doesnt is very interesting. Please pray for me on this because with my lack of sleep I am very grumpy and have a hard time just making it through the day.
New House:
Everything is going good so far on this. I am very ready to get in and get us back in a regular, stable environment. 3 more weeks!!!!!!

Wow, sounds like you are going through a whole lot. Know that I am praying specifically for each request. :)
I totally understand about the whole control thing. I too like to think that I am in control and I like everything to go just so and when it doesn't my day is just ruined. It's just crazy how I think sometimes. I mean, I am never in control and am never gonna be, yet I try to so hard to be.
God is a great teacher and full of mercy and grace. He is patient with us too. He will help you and I overcome this. It can be really hard to trust God when things aren't in order, but it is good to know that things are always in great order because God does everything decently and in order. It is just that we need to know what God wants for us each day, then we won't get so upset when our list of To Do's doesn't get done. It's good to know that God's List always gets done and much is accomplished in a day in His eyes. I have to make a habit of laying my To Do's before God before I begin each day. I am not always faithful at doing this, but when I do, the day always goes by so much smoother.
Praying for you. :)
