Answers to unsaid prayers

Lee left Saturday (early) it was a long weekend but we made it through and had some good times.  Several weeks ago I committed to picking up half of a shift tonight and working 6-11.  My sister had offered to come over put the boys in bed and then leave and the older kids could get themselves in bed.  We don’t need the money I was just doing it as a favor because my coworker worked the first half of my shift so I could attend the primary program.  Karma
And all of that.  My mom is only in town a few days between trips and offered to bring over dinner.  I was stressed about the whole thing but I knew it would all turn out okay.  Lee told me to lower my standards and if the house was standing and the kids were alive well then the night was a success.

A few hours before I was suppose to leave for work I got a text saying don’t bother.  At that moment I felt relieved.  I felt as though God had known what I needed and what the kids needed even though I didn’t.  My kids needed me home tonight.
 It has been a while since I felt so strongly that God knew what I needed.   So long since I felt his intervention.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
