What a 2 weeks it has been lately. We have had some really great up moments but seems like there have been some pretty low points as well. While we spent great time with family and had some great celebrations last weekend it has not been without it stress.
A week ago Friday my sons car just stopped on him coming up the hill on our street. Well we come to learn it locked up and there is a big ole hole in the block. Just peachy. ..... Yesterday we discovered something has scrapped all up the passenger side of my husbands truck. Really how do you do that and not be honest about it and make it right?
So it has been stressful, I deal with stress with retreating alone for long periods of time and eating while Henry just gets to that breaking point. He did go talk about things with his brother. He and I had talked it to death and I think that became one time he needed his sibling. So of course right here at tax season we are taking a big chunk to car repairs. Why does that always seem to be the case?
I cannot remember one tax time that we have not had to repair something? I just certainly hope this is the last repair on Zacks car for awhile. It is sad that we own 5 vehicles and they all need work.
Hoping to trade my van this year but gotta get a bit more stable with things first. Just seems to be slow going. But I know it will get there.
Speaking of getting things more stable. We are gonna start visiting some new churches, baptist, in our area. We have a wonderful pastor at the church we have attended for the last several years and appreciate him very much. However, it has gotten to the point other ministries are lacking for us such as a men's, women's and couples ministry. Also looking for youth group that does more community outreach. Who knows we may not move anywhere but at this point and time need to explore what is out there and see where God wants us. Hubby doesn't like change (I always joke that is why he remarried me) but sometimes I think change is needed to grow.
So we shall see and that will be a blog to come on how that is going. But we have gotten too far away from that foundation. I don't like the way it makes us behave. So anyway .... yeah that is just how we are right now... stressed to the max stretched as far as we can go and at the end of our ropes so we are tieing a knot and holding on!
