Behind the scenes

                                                                                                                                                                                  The words     " be still and know that I am God"....
These words have been in my mind all night. God knows what is next.... Cory has been doing great since they took away one of his Chemotherapy. He has had energy, eating, and just feeling great. He has had a cold this past week but nothing to bad .
I have not been so great.... Having to have it all together is HARD.... 
Taking care of a baby, home schooling the girls, cleaning the house, and taking care of Cory is HARD. I feel bad to say that it is hard... or that I am having a moment. I miss my sister just because we would talk about anything..... I want a nap... coffee with a friend with no babies. Just time to BREATH...  I know many friends have said I would love to have coffee and I say Yes that would be great lets plan that.... but that is it . How do I plan that my life is Crazy. When we don't have chemo. I am doing catch up with school , house stuff, or just life.
 I am doing a study and she said "Life is not a emergency"...
We need to stop and enjoy time. How do we do that? How??
I want to enjoy time . I want to be more like my husband. I am jealous of his life right know. He wants a nap he takes one. He wants to take a hour shower with no one coming in .... He does. He wants guy time he gets it....
I know he is in pain most of the time. But it looks like he does not have a care in the world...
How does he do that. I want that gift of just stopping and enjoying time...
You see as a woman  my mind is always going. Life for me is a emergency I am always thinking of what is next. I am thinking about how my girls are taking or more like handling what is going on with there daddy. I think about what is going to happen next. WHEN is Cory going to get sick again. Money bills, how and when they need to get paid...
School am I teaching my girls right. Are they growing in the Lord do they have a relationship with him... How am I being as a example to the girls ..... 
So stopping is something I don't know how to do.

 You see when I read all these blogs on other people that they are having all together it makes me think how are they really doing... I know making memories are great but are you really doing it all the time. My husband is dying but he acts like he is living forever... things that I would do or say for him is not important and even silly.

This is what is going on behind the scenes.... what makes me not break is knowing with not a doubt ... THAT MY SAVIOR.... know what is going to happen next!!!!
Praise the Lord I don't need to have all the answers. I can have a moment with the Lord. He does not judge me he HOLDS ME...
He sends his word, friends and songs to encourage me. When I feel like I can not go on that is when He steps in... SO even though I don't know how to BREATH.... the Lord takes my next breath for me..

" be still and know I am GOD"

We love you and are happy to help any way we can, need a meal... Let me know the day and I am happy to take care of that for you. You need your time to veg and re-energize too. Praying diligently for you and Cory and all the family!

  2. Edith this reads like a Psalm of David. He began his Psalm with the enemies surrounding him and how he longed to be safe, even asking God where He was. Yet, when you get to the end of the Psalm he is praising the God who is his protector, his shelter from the storm. Keep your eyes on Him and remember that you are not alone. Remember all of the true things that you know about God. He will never leave you nor forsake you, you can do nothing on your own yet all things are possible with God. Praying for you and all your family. Jennifer Alexander

  3. Edith, I have been praying for you since I heard about Cory and your family. I just found your blog spot today!! It has so encouraged me in so many ways. To better know how to specifically pray for you and your family, that God is USING this in your life to chisel away and do a WORK that brings glory to HIM, Thank you for being REAL in your writing. I think that when we become REAL and not what we WANT people to think we are... God has truly started the change and WALKS closely beside us to see us through it ALL. THANK YOU for this today.
