I wrote a post a bit ago entitled Amazing. While I didn't spell out what was going on I did share things and ask you to pray.

When I wrote that post I knew what needed to be done but was more than a little worried about how things would come about. At some point along the way I learned a verse: sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. It just amazes me the bits and pieces of verses that I remember. What REALLY amazes me is what the verse REALLY says when I can actually find what I remember of the verse in the Bible. Anyhow, I actually found the verse in Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. What's the point? I just knew in my heart that when I followed through with what had to be done I was going to experience one mighty whirlwind.

In fact what I experienced was the truth of the entirety of Romans 8:28 And we all know that all things work for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. There was no whirlwind, I believe because the whole situation was undergirded by prayer. I do so love the Lord, even though I forget just how mighty and grace giving that He is. Don't get me wrong, because of a decision that I made my life is a bit my complicated than it would be had I made a different decision. That's ok though because my faith has grown and my trust in Him has been strengthened. I thank you all for your prayers.


On a less serious note. The dog odor was kind of, sort of resolved. The carpet was cleaned with a rented Rug doctor and any odor killing chemicals that I could add to the mix. The dogs now sleep in the laundry room, not on the furniture and when we aren't home they stay outside. Right now the weather is cooperating with the plan. If it snaps cold again the outside idea may need to be adjusted.

I'm still praying about what would be best in regards to schooling my son. Right now the plan is to stay put and knuckle down with more consistency. I still feel in my heart that a change would be best. However, Michael has ask that no changes be made until the end of this year. While I believe that 5 months is a LONG time to be miserable I will abide by his decision. Like I said, I will continue to pray and try to stick with a routine that works for Kevin.
