"Bad Escape Plan"Wow, Looks like we haven't blogged for a few days. The last few days and weeks have been chock full of highs and lows,and everything in between, let's just say both Tom and I are emotionally and physically exhausted. It seems the stress of Tom's job and my involvement in women's ministry has finally caught up with the both of us. To top it off Hailey woke us up in the middle of the night throwing up all over herself and the bed. Oh, the joys of parenting! After Tom and I gave Hailey a bath and finished washing all of her bed linens we both looked at each other and just had to laugh! They say that laughter is the best dose of medicine anyone can take and that surely rang true with us last night... After a good laugh we both felt so much better and decided to finally let go of all this stress and worry and give it all over to God! We reminded ourselves that our identity is in Christ, and He has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Tim 1:7). Jesus gave us a solemn promise in the gospel of John: "No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also" (John 15:20). All in all, the blessings of this life are still overwhelming, and when we begin to "count the ways" God has blessed our family, we quickly cheer up and realize just how great life really is, despite the times of persecution. Life could be so much worse....
