My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Amen! Prayers are powerful. God cares about the little things to big things to gigantic issues that seem insurmountable. I love the thought that prayers, personal and collective, make the devil tremble. That’s what makes following Jesus an adventurous life journey.

Oh goodness, there’s much that annoys on an hourly basis and unexpected things pooping up in my schedule. Despite them all, I trust that God is up to good stuff even in the midst of life’s craziness. If only my attitude can align with that. That would be ideal.

The devil smiles when we make plans. He laughs when we get too busy. But he trembles when we pray especially when we pray together.

    Let’s hope life stays on track so next Tuesday goes off without a hitch and on schedule. Fingers crossed at my end that happens Esther.

      Let’s hope and pray! So far I’ve been able to check off all the things that needed to get done this week. And I didn’t fall apart. Halleluiah. I started the week overwhelmed and panicky.

    Well, you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. It is not just Ellis but you, Chris and Elliot … prayers and hugs sent across the miles. You had a good week busy with getting things done … now get this done and Ellis back home and on the road to recovery.

      Thank you Linda! I love your last sentence…I feel the same way. It’s game time now. Game face.

        You’ve got this Esther. You’ll likely be tired up tomorrow, so in case you don’t check out WordPress Monday, good luck … at least you’ll be cool in the hospital for this unrelenting heat wave.

        It’s humid too. Thank you for your well wishes and prayers. Once we’re in the thick of it, it goes much smoother. The anticipation and the unknowns amplify the worst in my mind.
        YOu got the heat wave too…stay well!

        Yes, too much going on at one time, so afterward, some calming of the mind and jittery nerves will be in order. Yes, our heat wave is tomorrow – they’ve upped the temp to 97 and heat index of almost 10 degrees more. Yikes!
