WHATEVER HE'S DOING INSIDE OF ME ...

Hi Friends!

I wanted to start out by sharing the words of a song I learned at my recent Women's Retreat. As you may remember -- the retreat was called, "Trusting God in Times of Transition." And the song I'm thinking of today is called --

Whatever You're Doing Inside of Me ...

It's time for healing,
Time to move on.
It's time to fix,
What's been broken too long.
It's time to find my way,
To where I belong.
There's a wave,
That's crashing over me.
All I can do is surrender.

Whatever you're doing,
Inside of me.
It feels like chaos.
Somehow there's peace.
It's hard to surrender,
To what I can't see.
But I'm giving in,
To something heavenly.

Time for a milestone.
Time to begin again.
Reevaluate who I really am.
Am I doing everything,
To follow your will?
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills?
So show me,
What it is you want,
From me.
I give everything.
I surrender ...
To...

Whatever you're doing,
Inside of me.
It feels like chaos.
Somehow there's peace.
It's hard to surrender,
To what I can't see.
But I'm giving in,
To something heavenly.

Time to face up.
Clean this old house.
Time to breathe in,
And let everything out,
That I've wanted to say,
For so many years.
Time to release,
All my held back tears.

Whatever you're doing,
Inside of me.
It feels like chaos,
But I believe.
You're up to something,
Bigger than me.
Larger than life,
Something heavenly.

Whatever you're doing,
Inside of me.
It feels like chaos,
But now I can see.
This is something,
Bigger than me,
Larger than life,
Something heavenly,
Something heavenly.

It's time to face up.
Clean this old house.
Time to breathe in,
And let everything out.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share. Sometimes life seems so chaotic, but it brings me peace to know that my God knows the plan. And it's not my job to figure out the plan or to whine or argue about the validity of His plan. Instead, it's my job to trust God to have the plan, and in doing so -- I know he will give me the grace and resources that I need for each moment.

I guess I never got around to blogging yesterday. I spent most of Friday and Saturday sleeping. I was extremely fatigued. And when I wasn't sleeping, I was cleaning up the mess that occurred in my house from while I was asleep. I'm sure all the Moms know what I mean!

Yesterday Bill took Molly, Nate, and Isaac to see Cameron at Camporee. They had dinner there, and they got to do some really cool activities --- like the Tomahawk throw. This morning Bill got up early, and he went to pick up Cameron. He was home by 11 a.m. The rest of us were still hanging out in our PJs when they returned home! They brought home a ton of hay. My two citified boys (Nate and Isaac) are currently on the side of the house playing in the hay!

Other than that, we're preparing for the upcoming week. Bill will be in Norfolk, VA all week on business. I hope I survive without my other half! Alice, please help me!!! So, today, I've been doing laundry. I also went to the store, so that I am good for a few days at least. Bill went to the doctor today (ear infection), and he is now off doing errands. He needs to get prescriptions for the week. He is also taking the truck in for a car wash, because after Camporee it is a disaster. And I don't want to drive around with hay in my truck -- it makes me sneeze.

I am also going to walk with Molly today. And the boys want to go for a bike ride. We also have to do Molly's official birthday celebration at dinner tonight, since we kept Molly at DisneyLand for the whole day of April 22nd. I made her a birthday cake and we have the sparkling cider -- so all the kids are looking forward to that. I'll post everyone's responses to our traditional -- "What I love about the birthday person ..." roundtable later.

As a side note, Bill was busy this week -- so he only gave me my prescription meds, not all my supplements. At first I was so excited, because I had fewer pills to swallow. But after a week, I am so much more tired, and my skin (especially on my face) is really blotchy. So, I'm sold.
Honey, bring on the supplements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much Love,
Michele
