Tea and Prayer

2 weeks ago......
It's been a little more then a week since I started fasting certain things and my body is starting to feel better. I've been enjoying some awesome teas and my eagerness to surround myself with things of the kingdom has grown a ton. I have noticed that other things are also making my stomach upset like pizza I had a slice yesterday for lunch and my stomach was on fire. I took a sip of Ahna's root beer and wow I couldnt believe how quickly my stomach started cramping. When my stomach gets upset like that and I end up in the bathroom for long periods of time it exhausts me and I am so grateful that Rob was willing to help me with the tasks of the evening. He has shown me a ton of grace. I love that this challenge has gotten me in prayer more. I have so wanted a cup of coffee but Im doing well with my praying. I have headaches quite often with the lack of cafein but they are slowly starting to subside. I have been praying more often and trying to get in the word a bit more. I want my walk with God to grow.

We have had some hard times this week that have opened a lot of wounds. Heartaches have been great and its been really hard. My sister had a misscarriage that later resulted in an emergency D&C. We are praising God that she had success getting pregnant so quickly and they have said that they will try again soon and we are glad. However it has opened a lot of aching of my heart to have some closure with my own babies losses. I have found myself thinking about them often wishing I could do something that will help me let them give them over to God a little easier.  Every time I think about them I have to remind myself that God's got them in his hand in fact they are probably sitting on my papas knee or playing with my aunt Gina. These thoughts bring me comfort and I can usually stop being sad as quickly as the sadness comes on.  I have 3 little angels watching over me and my sister now has one as well.  It hurt my heart that I couldn't take that burden from her but I also know how losing my three babies has made me grow and become a better mom and stronger woman. I know this will do the same for her.

Its been 4 weeks since I started fasting and praying and today my parents are getting new cabinets. They had a sewage pipe bust in the wall and it caused a lot of icky damage and mold.  I stuck my head under the sink to get some things out of that cupboard and the fumes were so horrible I couldnt breathe . We are wandering if this has been a lot of the causes of our headaches.  I'm positive that it has weakend all of our immune systems.  I am glad that the problem didnt grow further and that its getting fixed today. Yesterday Robert slammed his right hand in the car door and 3 of his fingures are 2x the size they are suppose to be. He is in ton of pain we are hoping that he will be feel better in the next couple days but in the mean time its lost of rest and keeping it in a sling so the swelling can go down. Luckily nothing is broken.  A lot is going on in our lives some good some not so good . Keep us your prayers as our life is getting more crazy by the day. Lots for me to pray about these days. I am so glad that God has given me strength to stay away from the coffee and coke. Im glad the headaches I've had are for a reason and I'm glad that my God loves us and holds us in our times of hardships. I'm glad we have a lot to look forward to as well.
