What's been happening...

Things have been crazy around here the last several weeks! After Brianna got her teeth she started waking up again at night for a few weeks. During this time and for a little bit after our outside dog, Chloe, would keep us up/wake us up barking. The end result was that after everthing settled down...I could not sleep! Things got worse before they got better. Tuesday Bobby came home for lunch to find me crying because I was so tired...p.s. I am not much of a cryer. He ended up staying home the rest of the day, even though he came home early Monday so I could rest! Thank you so much sweetheart! I ended up calling the doctor on Wednesday to see if I could take anything to help me sleep while I was nursing and he said no. Thankfully, I ended up getting a pretty good night's sleep that night and have been sleeping a lot better than before since then. Please pray for a complete cure for my insomnia.
About the time all this starts happening, I started praying for a way to get more involved in my church and a few days later I was asked if I would be interested in taking something on (more on this later). Knowing it was an answer to my prayers I accepted. Right after this is when things went from bad to worse. Not only was I not sleeping but Brianna was grumpy and really aggravating me! One day while she was supposed to be sleeping and I was going to rest she would not sleep! She laid in her crib crying for about an hour and when she did fall asleep it was only for half an hour! I lost it! I am not proud of myself for the way I behaved. I now realize that I needed a break and had for some time but I always but everything else before taking some time for myself. Thank you Pastor Aaron for making me take some time off! After several breaks I felt better able to handle things. And since I started sleeping things are even better!
I am blogging this not just to let you know what has been happening but also as a lead in for what we talked about in church today. We discussed that when you strike at the devil he will strike back. And that was what I had been doing...by praying to become more involved in my church I was striking him. And boy did he strike back! I knew that was what was happening but after several weeks of it I fell victim to his attacks. It was just today during service that I realized why. I pray that every time he attacks me I will be able to resist him longer until he no longer wins. Here is to a better week!
I plan on adding some pictures throughout the week so keep you eyes out for them!
