It is well with my soul this morning. I don't always wake up with a sense of peace and well being, and it's not that something has happened really to give me a new sense of these feelings today, but Thank you Jesus, I feel it all the same. It is TRULY well with my soul. Thank you Jesus. I can't say that enough. I'm in love this morning. With my Savior. Thank you Jesus for my salvation and Promise of an eternity with you and all that I love who has chosen Your way. Thank you Jesus for my family. A husband who prays, children who love me, extended family who cares for me. Thank you Jesus for my warm house and plenty to eat. Thank you Jesus for just feeling your presence this morning right now, in your HOLY presence. Thank you Jesus.

Sometimes it takes something hard to go through to see God's presence. I will give a small instance of this happening just this weekend. Friday night, I became very ill with a nasty stomach bug. Vomiting the whole thing. Over the next 24 hours, I would see God's grace, God's love, God's mercy and thankfulness. Over those 24 hours, I heard from probably every family member in my immediate family in the voice of concern, prayer, asking if I needed anything... It was a blessing. My sweet Judaea came and rubbed my back in the bathtub after I had my first violent encounter with the porcelain throne. She fixed me peanut butter and crackers the next day, TWICE, and believe it or not I held those sweet things down :). Bailey kept me in sprite through the day, and By GOD I was able to hold that down. Jonathan got to see me, for the first time in 17 years of marriage, vomit in a trashcan like I would imagine a big burly trucker vomits... and he loves me still... :) God is truly great. Although me and Christian both got sick with stomach bugs, the girls didn't. That is God's grace. Thank you Jesus.
I love you all. I am thinking of starting something new on here. I need your prayers before I do that. It involves my documenting a spiritual and physical cleansing that I am about to undergo. It will also involve me actually posting my WEIGHT and stomach measurements online for the world to see. Crazy? Almost definitely. But still considering it. No one's really ever accused me of sanity :-)
