Life is Tough

Right now I feel like I'm so overwhelmed with thing that are going on in life. For the past few weeks thing have not been very easy.

Have you felt that you are just able to get a grip of things and then from nowhere comes a huge ball and then just for good measure another hits you just to even up the score?? What I need is prayer, Please pray for me and my family.

I'll give you some details but at this time I can't disclose everything.

Firstly .. my brother has been unwell, he has been diagnosed with excess Iron ( Hemo something), which is treatable. But the Docs have not given him the all clear from more serious illness, I'll fill you in more when I can... Please prayer that Tim will feel God presence and comfort and also for my folks that they can support and guide him.

Secondly.. Last week we were informed that our landlords are selling. So again we are on the look out for a house that will fit our budget and needs. I don't mind moving it is just that this will be our 4th move in less than 3yrs. I'm feeling very overwhelmed at the prospect of doing this again. I have struggled to settle down here and I think that we are constantly on the move has not helped. I'm viewing the only rental property in Dingwall in budget tomorrow (10th April).

Thirdly .. I had an appointment with a consultant today in regards to an ongoing medical problem. Being in the Highlands can be frustrating at times, just because we live north we don't need any proper health care. Anyway the Doc is going to start me on Metformn (?) to see if that will make a difference to my metabolism and weight issues. Please prayer that I may form a good routine and habits. And not be discouraged about about my little weight lose (or gain)

All the thing above I'm really struggling with.... What does God really want for Me and my family, WHY do we need to move AGAIN??? WHY?? WHY?? WHY??

I'm frustrated, tired and feel low.

So I try to....

Lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from?? My help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth.... Psalms 121: 1-2

Update on Mother's Day Interview

My hands were shaking and heart was racing but I still did it. The feed back that I had was encouraging. Thank you LORD for your strength and guidance.

The Questions that Ruth asked and my answers

Patience, patience and more patience.....not the it is always there when I need it but, each day is new

Home Sick

Right now, I'm wishing that I could be in Australia.

Why???

Sunshine, Warmth, Family, Beach, Milo, Cherry Ripes, My Mum, my friends, shal I go on?

I know that I should be thinking and enjoying where God has me now....but I just want the things that are familiar and safe to me. I still drive around here and have to pinch myself "do I really live here?" As much as things are normal here I don't always feel at home, It feels surreal and unbelievable. I know that God is growing me in this experience...making me a better women. I suppose that He can't make it easy can HE?

I'm being challenged to step out of my comfort zone. By running P.A.T.CH. (toddlers), this is something that I never saw myself doing. I've been asked to get up front at church to do an appeal for more help at PATCH. And then today I was asked to be interviewed for Mother's day on Sunday... Public Speaking has got to be one of my biggest fears.. it sends my heart racing, palm sweating and I forget what it is that I'm going to say...

I feel that I just can't say no. I feel God prompting me to step out and let Him do that rest. I feel unfaithful because I'm even questioning that He will catch me.

LORD give me courage and faithfulness to do your work, to be a instrument for your work. Amen

Little By little may I grow closer to you each day.

Naomi

I'll let you know how it all goes!!

Best Intentions

Why is it that each day I wake each morning with the best intention, then I get out of bed and it all goes down the toilet. My girls just know how to push my button some days. Tomorrow I'll try again....Please help me LORD... to be a better mother.....a better wife..... and servant to my Heavenly Father..
