Busy Weekend

Last week I became fed up with all of the stuff that was piling up for a yard sale. It was just too much with the whole poop fiasco. I told Jake it was going..the yard sale would be Saturday and he had to run it. Nice of me, huh? Thankfully Jake's Mom came and helped us set up Friday and helped run it Saturday. It was amazing how many people came! It seemed like someone was always pulling up to see what we had. We ended up selling a lot! The rest went to Salvation Army. Then Jake and Mom cleaned the garage! I have a clean garage! Yeah! Now if only I can get the house like that. Sigh.

Sunday we went to church and received a great blessing from the Inman family. They have six children...12-26years old. They were here from Kentucky b/c their oldest was getting married up north. They sang and played their instruments, testified, and preached and boy was it good. We were very sad that they couldn't come back for the night service b/c we would have loved to have spent more time with them. They were a real encouragement to me. I am still having a very hard time with getting depressed. I often find myself staring off into space or wringing my hands b/c I just don't know what to do and just feel like bursting into tears at any moment. One of the sons in the family wrote this song that just brought me to tears and made me realize that I just need to keep praying that God will take these feelings from me. Jesus is my rock and He can get me through this storm. When I was a teenager I was depressed a lot and once I met Him those feelings were taken away b/c I had the joy of the Lord. Just b/c I have some crazy hormones doesn't mean I should have my joy taken away..it's just a trial I am going through now. I honestly think it will help me to be a better nurse when I go back to work. I never really thought about what the mom's may be going through emotionally/mentally until now. I at least can hold Elijah tight and love on him. Many of them cannot b/c their baby is too sick. In any event the Lord only gives us what we are able to handle...everything! "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" Phil. 4:13. I should know this verse well...it's framed and sitting in my kitchen!
Well, I better go.

Of course I had to add a picture of my sweetie pie!
