It's gonna be alright!

Well I have been feeling a little down lately. If you don't know already. My family and I have been living with my parents now for almost a year in July. It has been hard having 7 people under one roof. 8mnths of this year Mike has been unemployed looking for work. He now has been employed for almost three months. I feel like it is time for us to have our own place. So Mike and I have been looking at apartments to move to.... Well now it turns out he is "under employed". I mean really, are we ever going to be out from under all this pooh. Basically you have to be making three times what "market value rent" is for an apartment. Almost no one rents at market value. So the song I posted below has sort of become my theme song. I love this guy Matt Maher he is a christian singer. This is becoming my song anthem for now. "Cause even in the dark you can still see the light its gonna be alright, its gonna be alright". Matt Maher Take a listen to the song and see if it hits a chord in you. Please pray continue to pray for us that God would move this mountain in our life.

My Easter week




Okay I was not sure how to start this post. I have typed and deleted it repeatedly. Then light came on in my head.
I have had a rough week. It started over the weekend. Rachel got a fever and it lasted all weekend. Took her to the Dr. on Monday and she has a ear infection. On top of all that we had baseball stuff for both boys all weekend long. Then Tuesday, Wednesday, more baseball games. Which by the way Nathan played great in.
Then there was today. Nathan got tested for Dyslexia at school. I had my speculation since pre-k, and most definitely in Kinder I knew he suffered from it. But it is heart braking when you hear it "on the record". I want the best for my child. I never want him to feel like he is weird. I know it is not the end of the world, it is just the begging. It hard because I can't fix it.
Anyway, through it all I made a commitment to God. That this Holy week I would listen to nothing but Christian Music. And I have kept that promise. I wanted this week to be a reflection of what Christ did for me/ us. It has been wonderful. I have seen Gods hand at work with even with my busy week and the news of Nathan. God is faithful and will work everything to His glory. All I have to do is pray and have faith that He will prevail.
In Him,
Brandi
