The Staton Chronicles: Things that make me think!

Things that make me think!

"These things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will sure come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" Habakkuk 2:3 (LB)

My father has come to visit from Alabama. My husband is currently in his 4th deployment, the one year anniversary is of my mothers unexpected death is also very closely creaping up us. And I am just way over weight much more so than I ever have. I know its from stress. But what do you do you know. My father forward this email with this scripture at the very top and I read it, I read it, then I read it again. You know how you hear a song and it just says everything you have been feeling but the singer actually says it? Well thats what this scripture is for me. 3 dutie stations....5 kids...4 deployments all in 7 years. It has been really hard on me. Lots of things have happened threw out these past 7 years and all he ever tells me is "be patient it will all be worth it in the end". I keep reading that scripture and it makes me feel so happy and overjoyed now that even tho yes its coming from my husbands mouth it is also coming from the man himself! Like He knew this would be something like that would help me not beat my kids, trust my husband when I hear woman in the back ground phone calls, help me be patient with my husband when I am needing to talk, and talk dirty maybe. I just need some adult stimulating conversation. And then I hear on the other end of the phone. "well the kids are being out of control I guess I will let you go" SCREAM! UUGGG I can't help it that the kids think I go def dumb and blind once I get on the phone. So I get frustrated and I wans to curse, scream and drink. But I don't (half the time) I remember there will be a reward for all of these things I am going threw right now. I love my kids and my husband more than life its self! But somedays man.....
BUT then I go to my email and I read this scripture and for some reason it helps me.
