Hey guys. Please keep me and the family in prayers. We've been under attack recently. Chris left for a 1 month deployment on Friday and y'all know how usually that is when we start having problems. I have this all over to God and I trust God completely and I trust Chris too. The enemy is trying though. I think he sees me not having a melt down over Chris so he is attacking full scale in any ways he can. On the way to his deployment, Chris got in a car accident so I had to drive up to deal with that. He made it to the base on time, by Gods grace (a man stopped to help him and HAPPENED to be going to the same place as Chris. Definitely Gods intervention!) I had to wait for the tow truck with the car for several hours on the side of the road and I had several police come and go during that time. One of them thought it was his business to tell me that I was endangering my infant daughter by "abandoning her in the car on the side of the road" because I had gotten out to get the insurance out of Chris's car. I was polite and respectful, but yeah that dug pretty deep. I'm sure y'all know I have this weakness for my kids and I need to feel like people think I'm doing a good job with them. It's something I know God is working on in me, because in this world there's no such thing as pleasing everyone. After that, the baby got sick, then Christian, and now I am sick. We've all been in and out of the bathroom all week. Naomi is doing much better, but Christian and I still have it. My mom just called to say she has it now too, so she won't be watching the kids Monday. I'll have to figure that out. And normal issues with my dad and work. I am trying to be respectful, but Chris had the best advice for me. Stop worrying about him and start worrying about myself. That's right. I went to work sick Friday after Chris left and dealing with that accident. I told my sister that Day would be a call in day if I didn't "own this business". But honestly if I hadn't gone my dad would have lost it and that was more my concern. I can't do that anymore. Because all the work I did while sick, I made a small mistake and he called Saturday to yell at me about it and I am tired of hating him for things I should have prevented in the first place by just caring about me. If I hadn't gone to work, I wouldn't have made that mistake, and he wouldn't have yelled at me. Anyways....sorry this is all a bit of a rant. I love and am in constant prayer for all of you.
