So as a christen and a mom of 3 it is extremely hard for me to find time to be with God. So this morning I decided that I really need to have my time with God, this has been an extremely challenging week and I have a ton of things to be grateful for but I also have a ton of things on my prayer list.

We found out this week that Brian’s dad has bladder cancer, now if you know Brian you know that he has not always had the best relationship with either of his parents. Well about 3 years ago we got a call that his grandpa had passed away well we made the decision to go to Minnesota for the funeral. Now Brian and I were going on our 4^th year of marriage and I had never met any of Brian’s family well I had the pleasure of meeting Dale and Barb who is Brian’s dad and step mom. Well after only a few days with them they decided that I was a pretty good daughter-in-law.

We were honored enough to have Brian’s dad come out for a visit in February of this year right after we had the twins, and we had an amazing week with him and he said something to me that truly meant a lot he said that he always wanted a daughter and he can honestly say that “I am the best daughter that he could have imagined ever having” that meant the world to me and we are just praying that God will allow him to beat this cancer and be a part of our kids life for a lot longer.

My Brother and his wife Kelly like Brian and I and all couples have been going through the ups and downs of marriage but they also have step-kids involved so they are asking for a lot of prayer as they are climbing a really steep mountain right now but we know that God gives us valleys and mountain tops. So we are praying for a Mountain Top soon.

So this is just a few of the things that we have going on in our family right now and back to my point that I really need to have my time with God. This morning I finally decided that the twins had been fed and I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down and just prayed and even though it was only an 8 min prayer I feel so much different today than I do on the other days.  I was also able to get online to Our Daily Bread today and what a difference it made I have been so much more calmer, so much more together today than I have been in the last few days

I know I am all over the place today but I feel like life is all over the place today.  My point of today’s entry is that God is with us and we need to remember in the midst of everything in our life to just stop and pray and thank god for all the good and even the bad in our lives.  And remember that we need to find our time with God and that extra 30 min of sleep that I wanted can wait because God needs that time not me.

Please just keep our family in prayer as we are going through valley’s and mountain tops right now and that only God knows the ending of everything and we may not always like it but God is in control and boy and I thankful for that.
