Wowsers.

Had a great weekend, but holy smokes - it was crazy!
Saturday Mom, myself and the girls headed to Columbus to get Kenah's pics taken. She wasn't happy. Hated it actually. That was a bummer. Shortly after leaving the picture place, I accidentially headed the wrong direction on I-270. Took a few miles to find an exit we could get turned around and head the right way. Once we did, and just a mile or so down the interstate there was a horrible wreck (pile-up, actually) where we'd just been just seconds before. I was immediately overcome with gratitude to my God for protecting us. I began to cry, just calling out to Him thanking Him for keeping us safe from harm and also prayed for those involved. Found out that evening there was a 4-year old injured in the wreck along with others. God chose to protect us even when we didn't know we were so near to such danger. Amazing. I am still praising Him.
Today has been exhausting. I've been trying to deal with some things - praying and asking God to rid me of some things that aren't pleasing to Him. Been wrestling with it for a few weeks. He's helping me, but I still want to give even more to Him. Emotionally I am plum spent. Sometimes life is hard. Sometimes it hurts, but there's grace. I know God will be faithful to complete this work He's began and I am excited to see what He has in store.
Had a good evening with a friend tonight. Stayed home from church because Kenah Jo isn't feeling good. It was good though. Just relaxed. Talked. Laughed. Cried.
I am counting my blessings tonight, but even if I counted until morning I wouldn't be near finished.
Goodnight.
