You can try but you won't win......  

Posted by The Burrow

There has been a number of situations where I felt like the world was cosuming me and unfortunately this is one of those times. BUT...I do know that God is on my team and He always WINS!! YAY GOD! It does not surprise me in the least that our lives are in a crazy spiral at the moment...

Jett has just been diagnosed with Strep throat and cannot go to school. I am grateful he has strep because I originally thought he had Pnemonia.
My business has just plain sucked for the last month and Nikki and I are doing our best to figure out a way to save it.
Meanwhile, I had asked God to close a door to the business if He didn't want it to succeed. He hasn't done that but He has changed my heart. I want to be home with my kids. I miss them and I can see the difference from before I worked all the time. I have decided to bring home the embroidery machine and do embroidery and gifts online. It will be www.mypixiestitch.com. Of course this brings lots of detail to figure out.
The floor in our house has decided to dismantle itself. I mean the peices of the floor are literally coming up in mounds. The spot the refrigerator sets on is completely gone. A big jigsaw puzzle. Now there are more and more peices dislodging themselves from the glue. I'm guessing it has to do with the heater having to be on. Regardless, it is nasty and painful to see this happening knowing dang well we CANNOT afford to have new floors put in.
Todd beleives the refrigerator may be toast at this point. It is insane to think about replacing it.
After all is said and done I will be paying $700.00 to purchase costumes for the recital and that is just for me and the girls. The boys can be bought closer to recital time which is in April or May but ours have to be ordered and that deadline is November 20th. YIKES! Pam the owner said to do our best and if we needed a little extra time she would see what she could do.
Speaking of Pam, this lady is amazing. She runs this dance studio in such a way that everybody involved feels special. I absolutely adore her. My kids love her and she loves them in return. Last night the ambulance was called because she was having problems with her heart. We still don't know the details but it has really worried us.

So....umm ya, our lives are crazy. I don't think it is any coinkadink. We are going to be attacked by the enemy....why? because we found a home church.

Satan can try be he won't win....

I ask for prayer for our family right now.

Love you!

I love you guys. Your heart always knows best and I am so PROUD that you follow it.
Seriously? The cuteness of the webpage name!
Hey..I've not had a washer in over a week. I'll chill your foods while you wash my clothes. HA

We need a coffee date. And worse case senerio, I have oodles of Elmer's for that floor of yours!

Love you to pieces..ME

I am praying for all of you. I know that the enemy does not win in your family. He never has. I love you all very much! E

Love the website idea and doing work from home to be with the kids!!!! You know satan would love to thwart that as well!

When we get back from vacation, todd can call Dar and maybe he can diagnose your fridge over the phone and see if it is really toast.

Love,

That all really sucks. And a lot of times I feel like that's just the bottom line. So, I'm sorry that it all sucks right now.

On the brighter side, what goes down must come up eventually. And I love your take on things. You have grown a lot, my dear. It blesses me to see that and be able to be a part of it.

I love you.
