The title appealed to me because it seemed catchy, but in truth doesn't reflect my feelings.
Oh, what a ride this has been. We have been a family of 8 for 15 months now and life has not slowed down a bit. I feel like a train has run me over, then backed up and ran me over again, just for the fun of it. I am still amazed at how many children can get into trouble in one day. They never tire of finding new trouble and some of them never get tired of repeating the same trouble daily.
It's like they are trying to outdo each other at how many office visits they can rack up in one year. The sad thing is that this includes some home schooled kids too!
If it wasn't for the GRACE and MERCY of my gracious GOD then I would pull my tail between my legs and find a nice cave to live in for awhile (preferably in the tropics). My life is insane! I thank all of you who pray for us because the only thing that gets us through each and every day is God's grace and mercy. I try to be honest and transparent so that others can see that I'm not Wonder Woman, but a sinner who stands on the grace of a loving Savior.
I heard someone say once that if you have ever thought of adopting a child to help them out, buy a puppy. Because if you are not prepared for the life changing, gut-wrenching reality of sacrifice and if you are not willing to change everything about your dependence on yourself then a puppy is the right purchase for you. The bread and water that keeps me alive and sane is Christ, everyday in every way.
