Bring it on!!!

I haven't posted in literally eternit , but having the swine flu, being churchless, and my husband being jobless has prompted some new thoughts. Last Tuesday my husband lost his job, my family lost their church, and I was diagnosed with the swine flu , in  a matter of 15 minutes. I know what you are thinking.... WOW! Yeah that is exactly what I was thinking. Praise the Lord that I am feeling physically better. Today, 7 days later, I am finally feeling  somewhat healthy. However, my heart is still broken. Sorry I have no details that I feel like sharing but I just need somewhere to say that I HURT! It is amazing though how God allows you to feel hurt and hope at the same time. I know that my God is way bigger than this stupid stupid week and when the end of the story is revealed , I  will be beaming from ear to ear at what my gracious Saviour had in store for me and my family. The middle of the story just sucks so bad!!! It is quite funny actually..... a true "Mandy" happening. The week before all this happened. I prayed God if you have to destroy me to draw me closer to you then do it. Well I got some of what I asked for and I am going to embrace it. I am DETERMINED and REFUSE to miss this opportunity to draw closer to him, the one who shed His blood for me, during this trial. Satan, seriously, is that all you've got.... bring it on.

Psalm 30:11-12

You turned my wailing into dancing; 

You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness

that my heart may sing to You and not to be silent.

Oh Lord my God, I will give you praise forever.
