It has been one of those days and I am beyond frustrated. Heck, days, I mean weeks, years! Blah! :o(
I have a tonne of scripture running through my head about trials, tribulations, trust, faith, worry, you name it, but nothing seems to quell the pure frustration and stress that I feel. That we feel. I wish I had some way of sharing things with someone else besides my dear husband, but that is where the 'trust' thing comes in. Too many people have taken my struggles and hardships and turned it around on me, or blamed my dear husband --oh yes poor Vanessa the victim. I know that like Jesus said on the cross: 'forgive them father for this just don't know'. That is the story of my life.
Nonetheless, my little rant and frustration does have a purpose. I really need prayer for this interview. REALLY! So please, if you happen to read this and think about 'moi' in the next few days, please pray for me. I really, really, really need this job. Ok, we really need this job, but of course I also want God's will. So if this is not God's will then I need him to close the doors, but if it is, I need a LOT of HELP!
With that I leave you with a picture I took a few weeks ago. Thank goodness for Photoshop--the original is not so pleasant looking. Lots of cuddles and kisses from this little one lately. She is teething--yup her 4 molars are coming in at the same time. It has not been pleasant and I feel like I am going to lose my mind! Please Lord, help these teeth come in fast and painless.

Hi Vanessa!
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Best wishes for your interview!! There is nothing easy about this adult life, raising a family, and earning a living. But it is a challenge so worth taking!! We have had some lean times, too, especially in the past but somehow or other things always worked out. I've often said," We've come this far. We can do it." I'm sure that our challenges have made us stronger, and looking back I can even have a laugh about it. One summer I had a part-time job at Sylvan Learning Center in Red Deer. My wage paid for my trip to Red Deer and some lunch, and that was about it!! Of course, I enjoyed the outing.
Tomorrow is my last day of work before holidays. I have been putting in lots of extra hours to be caught up on reports, etc. before leaving. Also been busy going to Curves, and beginning to see some results. Maddi has been at our place since last Mon. I've barely spent any time with her but she has been enjoying time with her Granddad. We are at Aina's tomorrow nite for a BBQ, packing on Saturday, and flying to Stockholm on Sunday. Love, Auntie Elaine
That is one of the most beautiful mother-daughter pictures I have ever seen! Genesis has such deep, captivating eyes - gorgeous!!
Best of luck with the job interview :)
Hey V. It is a roller coaster isn't it?! This morning I was reading "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson and the chapter was all about community and friendships, living a slower paced life that focuses on our family and friends instead of the to-do list, and it just hit home in so many ways. We're praying that you find a church and family there that will be able to encourage you and become the trusted friendship you need right now. It's such a hard thing to do when you move often and don't have as much time to invest in people. I hear you.
We'll also be praying for your interview and God's will to be fulfilled whether the door is closed or opened, and that he will give you the words to say at your interview. Big hugs from us!
V, that photo is stunning. Wow.
Praying for you and all that is on your plate right now. Big hugs!
