arrows from all directions!

they may come, but they won't get me down! this week has been really hard:

-chase is sick with diarrhea and vomiting (of course all while i am trying to drive home 4 hours with him today).
- brian has worked 18 hour days all week, so he is tired, i am tired, and the kids have been especially needy this week. there are times i felt i didn't have enough love to give all on my own. and naturally that work schedule plants seeds of resentment which i have to fight.
- my grandma bungato has been hospitalized this week.
- brian's nanny was hospitalized this week and has been given 6 months to live.
- my grandpa smith is also hospitalized this week with lung/heart issues. his entire body is failing.
- some major spiritual setbacks that have consumed me, but i have come to a place of peace and God has said He will take care of it. (it still doesn't mean it isn't hard though).
- i can't get anything together and have been majorly late to everything, especially taking the kids to school.
- my heart has been heavy for loved ones and for the ones i love in africa. we found out that another woman we prayed for passed away. her kids are now #24 and #25 for the grandmother to raise. we paid for the daughter's school fees while over there too, and our hearts break she is now motherless.
-corban is definitely 2 and acting like it. throwing tantrums that make me want to lock myself in my bedroom.
-chase just threw up again and i really don't know if i should take my trip. UGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

But the Lord is glorious and His mercy shines through it all. we're gonna be just fine!
