Why Everything Will Be Better Next Week

As I pack up the last boxes today I can't quite believe that I am really moving tomorrow. The fact that I have a sore throat and no voice makes it even more fun. I am sure my hubby would agree on the no voice part. Anyway, back to the title of this little story and what I have convinced myself of-
next week life will be better. I will have my own home, I will get up early everyday to spend time with the Lord and exercise, I will loose those 5lbs I have been battling all year and I will do a better job being Eli's mommy. Now why those things couldn't have happened the last 9 months I don't know. I just kept putting them off waiting on my own home. Fortunately for me God never left my side even though some days it felt like it. He will also be there when I move which is good because I will need him more than ever. Not just to get by on the day to day stuff but also for my laundry list of things I want to accomplish. Oh, I also plan on being a better wife to my hubby. So, will everything be better next week? Probably not but that's ok as long as God is with me.

Don't You Just Love It When Prayer Works

Eli's surgery was a great success. We were so relieved. I am so thankful to all of my friends and family for all their support and prayers. We are truly blessed. Eli has been doing so well since we got home. He has had some mild discomfort but has been a real trooper. The hardest thing for him is the food selection. He can only eat certain foods for a few days and he is getting pretty tired of the ice cream. He even asked for salad and carrots last night bless his heart! We have been hanging out at home and I have been trying to keep him from running around. Lots of Hi-Ho-Cherry-O action going on around here. It has been nice to take some time from the business of life and just be at home. God has been talking to me about that for a while. I am a very social person and staying in has always been the most difficult part for me. But as Eli nears 4 I realize that he won't be at home much longer. I pray that the next year will give me a desire to be home more than I want to be gone. I think that the whole moving to the mountains with nothing to do there will help that also! Thank you God for being you.
