A Distracting Week

We left last Wednesday and went camping for a few days. We had such a relaxing time of riding bikes and playing at the beach. When we came home everything changed drastically. It's amazing how one thing can turn my whole life upside down in a matter of seconds.

I have been so busy with what needs to be done that I don't think I have cooked in about 2 weeks. The house has not been cleaned, and I have definitely let the kids take care of themselves for the most part. In dealing with unexpected issues in life, I have put so many things on the back burner. I'm hoping I can get things straight and get back on track this week. Summer is suppose to be fun!

I don't watch the news much because I let it drag me down and I start dwelling on the bad things in this world. Well, this week the bad things in this world has hit me slap in the face full force. There was no way around this one and my eyes were opened to reality. Yes, you hear things, but when it comes right in to your own yard it's another story. Words can not describe how I feel about the sin that is going on around me. I am amazed at how people will allow Satan to rule their life and also allow him to rule their children's lives. I am shocked in how people live, but at the same time I am comforted in knowing that I serve a mighty God. I am comforted in knowing the battle is already won and that the battle that we fight is not our own.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
