Sinuses and Migraines and Hormones, Oh My!

So it's been one of those weeks...

It started off with a great Mother's Day, although I was feeling a little funky all day with the beginning of some congestion issues. The day ended with Parvati winning the title of "sole Survivor" (bummer!) and me winning one big sinus headache. On Monday, the sinus pressure turned into a migraine, which is never good! Thanks to my dear friend, Kristi, I was able to leave the kids, take some medicine, and rest in QUIET for awhile! Tuesday brought more of the same (although my migraine was gone, thank goodness!) but by Wednesday I was just one big bucket of crabbiness. I've had some hormonal stuff* going on that has taken a toll on me, too (please don't even be wondering if I am pregnant...because I am not...I am just not sure how much I'm ready to blog about all of that* yet!). It's also been difficult to hear the news about my Uncle Jack and his family - my heart is so very heavy for all of them.

Did I mention that Wednesday was our last day of school? I wanted the day to be fabulously fun - for all of us - but I was a bit spent physically and emotionally.

So, this day (like so many other days) has been a day of starting over...a day of picking up the pieces and trying again. And, truth-be-told, I didn't do so hot today, either! But, wow, am I thankful that God is a God of grace. He has compassionately placed into my life dear friends and family who are gracious and patient and fore-bearing with me! I am SO thankful that the Lord never fails me - that He is faithful and is completely and exactly what I need at all times.

Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

I'm thankful that He is not finished with me yet...Lord, may you always keep me mold-able and teachable!

Philippians 1:3-6,9-11
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus...And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
