Two Ways of Living

So there are two ways of living. One is to make God fit you or the other, which I am constantly reminded of, is to make my life fit God.

So the past couple weeks have been trying. Finances are two step forward and one step back. Just when we think we are making it...bam! Huge vet bill and major car repair on one weekend. Does anybody else find themselves asking, "Why God?". But it came just in time to rally as Rob was coming home for a week. It was clear right off the bat that he was over committed. His days and nights have been full filling obligations previously agreed upon while he was still living in AZ. A wedding, studio time, etc. All good things but it has left very little for the two of us. Big mistake. So we are trying to figure out how to protect our time since we see each other so little. Clearly this time we didn't do a very good job. So this morning before work we just looked at each other wondering how we got here.

And then the big wammy... joy of knowing that Rob doesn't need heart surgery is completely overshadowed by the news that my baby sis is facing the big C word...Cancer. She is 19...again I am asking God why?

So tonight while Rob is at the studio I choose the leave the puppies in the kennel albeight much protest to spend some time with loving, encouraging women. Just what my soul was demanding. And once again I reminded of the peace that comes with living life on lifes terms.

So my prayer requests are obivous. But here are a couple more:
One, I am awaiting news in the next week of the potential of spending more time with Rob in Miami. Two, we chose October as a a fundraising awareness month. Sounds contradictory, no? Well, the idea is to reach 50 friends and family that would support us with a one time donation of $10. We are hoping that each of you will also send the request to 5 additional friends. The purpose is to bring awareness to LAM and the work Robby is doing. Please take a moment to pray in how you might bring awareness to your loved ones.

Thank you once again! I leave you feeling encouraged and at peace.
