This past year has been rough on Brad and I. Not only physically but emotionally. 7 months into the year and so far Brad has missed 6 weeks of work and at least 4 more. Factor in my getting laid off at 7 months pregnant in April, being denied unemployment( appealing that choice and never hearing a word since nor any money), and giving birth to Aslynn.
Growing up my family was Catholic and both my sister and I were baptized in the Catholic church and went through communion. Eventually we became "Christmas and Easter" Catholics. We never became involved in the church. At times I found myself questioning the Bible and God himself. I actually was still questioning him up until a few weeks ago.
One of the pros about moving to Hazel Green has been that Brad and I have become involved in Church. It is so different from the rigid structure of the Catholic Church. It is laid back, you don't have to dress up in your Sunday best. You come as you.
I've said all this to say that I've found my peace with God. I trust him. I know he has things under control whether its happening the way we want it to or not. I still catch myself every now and then asking "why?" about certain things but I don't question it a sense of peace.
I've found God and I love it and honestly it has helped me through all of this. I may be broke and sometimes wondering "what are we going to do?" but inside in my heart I know that it is going to be ok.

That's awesome! There's nothing like having that peace that God can only give. :)
