seriously Lord…no more…

5:40 p.m. EST – 
Need a few prayers y’all. When it rains it flippin pours. Our heat is out. Have put in an emergency service call. Don’t know how much more I can take.


7:55 p.m. EST –
So the mother board in the heater is dead. We won’t have the part for another 3-4 days. Thank you God for space heaters on sale at Walmart and neighbors who come to the rescue. 


On top of all of this craziness, Miss Courtney is now dealing with reflux and is not really enjoying her feeding time. We were told to watch for this and here it is. We have done some troubleshooting with Doctor friends and hopefully we have come up with a plan to help her be comfortable. 


Then there is Jerry’s job situation. So many interviews and nada, nothing, zero, zilch. He is frustrated and discouraged. I am frustrated and discouraged. Now we are cold to boot. 


A friend said that the devil hates it that a new saint is soon to be in heaven which is why we are undergoing so many trials right now. If that’s the case the GET BEHIND ME SATAN!! I do not have time, energy or the emotional bank to deal with this s@#$!! 


I need a stiff drink and a winning lottery ticket. GAH!!

  2. Praying sweet Mary. My goodness there must be countless souls flying, fast then the speed of light, into heaven due to your sacrifices, they better hurry up and return the favor!

  5. In October when we brought our brand new baby home our furnace died as well. I know how much it sucks. We've been praying many many prayers for your family and they will continue!

  7. Will offer up a rosary right now for all of your intentions Mary, and don't be disheartened, God has the plan. You know since I started following your blog I've been praying for you regularly, especially about Jerry's work situation. And each time you said he was about to be out of work God came through. It has occurred to me more than once He wants your family to rest as much as possible over the Christmas holiday break and get in your last bit of time with Courtney without the worry and strain of working, and then He'll help you through that when things have quieted. Meanwhile let Him embrace you all with the gift of Himself this Christmas, while the rest of us support you through prayer and finances, so you can all take care of each other and be with Courtney. God bless you all.

  8. Praying here dear Mary! It's always darkest before the dawn!!!

Not to mention the courageous momma …he never makes mistakes our God… That is promised.so many prayers heading to heaven surprised they haven't had to shut down air travel!!!! And so so much grace surrounding your dear ones!!! Be Not Afraid … That too was promised….praying down here in Louisiana!

  9. I wish I had something helpful or inspiring to say, but just know you are loved and lifted up in prayer by so many. ❤️❤️❤️
