1 Peter 1: 6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
It's so funny because nothing can go right right now. It is one thing after another. Since we lost our baby we have not had a moment to breathe. Last night I got home to find our toilet leaking in the mother-in-law house where we stay right now and then as I started cooking dinner, I found a puddle on the floor in the kitchen. It seems our kitchen sink has been leaking for a while because it has ruined the wood cabinets underneath.
It is almost comical how our life has been for the last couple of months, but we are able to laugh and continue going...how? I ask myself that question all the time. I can only say it is by the grace of God that I still have hair...It must be the peace of Christ (John 16:33). I can tell you the only thing keeping me sane is prayer...and it is something i HAVE to do 20 times a day. God is the only stable thing I have to cling to.
We are trucking along with the house. Thursday the granite guy comes to measure. We should have a kitchen in no time!! YEAY! and the living room is only a coat of paint away from being ready for furniture. So, we are making progress.
And I am just taking life one day at a time. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?! Trying to focus on the end of the scripture above "...may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." It is worth it all if Christ is glorified.
