So you like blogs, don't ya?

At the suggestion of my husband, I'm gonna blog. It's a little late tonight to sort thoughts and write anything meaningful but I'm sure it'll become useful in the upcoming weeks. So much is happening in my life and the life of our family. It's good things, even amazing things. But decisions have had to be made so quickly and deadlines are constantly nearing, so there is hardly time to just sit and sort thoughts. I feel like when I pray I'm constantly rushing God. Like, "I love You, You're amazing, can you give me a clear direction in the next 8 hours because they need to know tomorrow." Not the best way to interact with the Creator of time, life, etc. He's in control . . . right? How in the world can I forget that? I mean, what good thing has ever happened to me that didn't come from His hand? He is the Giver of all good gifts. And my good gifts . . . a husband who I love and enjoy (he loves me ,too), two little boys who truly are the sunshine of my life, a job I will be beginning in May that I know I will love and will work out for the benefit of our family, and an amazing opportunity to serve God in another country; an opportunity for which He has worked out all the details. These are just some of the good things in my life. They are things God has given me, yet I constantly find ways to fret over them. Well, blogging has been kind of nice for my first time. I actually think I'll be able to sleep well tonight. Ahhhh. . .
