Just Rambling

I can hardly believe it is the end of July!  I have been going on hyper speed this entire month.  Well, really for the last 6 weeks...and I am wearing out.  I got a text from a dear dear friend today and I just started crying.  I cried in our department meeting this morning.  I cried just now.  I was counting the days til the end of July, but now I am waiting just a few more weeks...  Then I am hoping life can go back to normal, because this is not what I want my normal to be.

I don't even really know what to write.  (I've written 4 different paragraphs and erased each one.)  I guess for now because of lack of sleep and lack of energy and tears sitting on my eyes, I will just say that the last few weeks have been rough.  I am extraordinarily grateful for Stony.  And my goal for August is to blog at least once a week.  Next week will be easy...Lacey is getting married. =)

But if you think about it, pray for my Gram and Poppa.  Poppa is now home-bound with a nurse coming in twice a day to help (which is a HUGE blessing).  And Gram is in the hospital doing 2 weeks of rehab.  She had 2 strokes last week.  By the grace of God, she is still here.  During her second one they decided to open her up and get the clot out right away.  When they did, they found 3 more clots on the way to her brain.  These 3 clots would have killed her......probably this week.  I pray they realize, and we don't take for granted, just how much God has protected them this year.

I know a lot of friends who are struggling with one thing or another right now.  It makes me wonder what is going on in the spiritual realm! 

I know God is here.  I know God is always faithful.  And I know He is always good.

I also know that I seriously need to go to sleep!  So much for mopping the floors tonight.
