Great is Thy Faithfulness

Oy. Today was just one of those days. Ok so, take that back. This week has kinda been one of those weeks. I've been really really struggling with discontentment and just anxiety over God's plan for my life. And a lot, a lot, a lot of impatience. On top of that, I was having a bit of a pity party. Ok, so a really big pity party. I am a really good pity party thrower. I mean, I can really throw down on some self-pity. Like I said, it's just been one of those weeks. Consequently, when today rolled around, I wasn't really in the mood to go to Bible study or even prayer meeting. Confession: I was thinking of saying I didn't feel good and just stay home. Thankfully, I didn't do that. And God was so good in giving me exactly what I needed to hear in Bible study....in fact it was slightly creepy how, it was almost directed straight at me. I don't think Jeremy is a mind reader, but after tonight, I have my suspicions. And then! On top of an awesome Bible study in Luke, prayer meeting was so very encouraging and uplifting. Talking about Christ and His amazing-ness and encouraging each other in our struggles. And come to find out, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO STRUGGLES! Gee, who knew? ;) I also had an opportunity to have a more in depth conversations with people who are older and wiser, and just after talking things out, it helps me to put things into perspective. And realize that it really is going to be ok and everything really will work out. Sigh.
I think I just mostly rambled in the above material, but it had to come out somehow before I could even think of getting any sleep. :P
Please keep praying for me!!! I so appreciate it!!!

P.S. I miss my Mommy. The End

perfect pie & prayer

Today was grocery shopping day. Woo.Hoo. Not my favorite day, but Starbucks has a way of making anything all better. :) I tried the new toffee mocha frappacinio(sp?) and it was SO YUMMY! Then I came home a baked a chocolate cream pie. The crust came out perfect! I'm taking it to The Farmhouse tomorrow. I took an apple pie in last week and they sold it and it was a big hit! So exciting! Hopefully this one will be worthy of putting on the fun dessert chalkboard. :)
I wanted to blog tonight because I haven't blogged in forever!...but I'm kinda not sure what to blog about. Besides waiting on niece/nephew to be born, it's pretty much the routine work, bake, eat, sleep, repeat routine.
There's a lot going on in my head and heart, but I'm not exactly sure how to express all that into words...or if I even want to put that on a public blog. It seems more of something you'd talk about with a close friend over coffee...
But, I would like to send out a prayer request to the cyber world. I'm struggling with discontentment. A lot. So please, pray for me.
