Yesterday was a hard day. I found out that my loving husband and I won't be spending any upcoming holidays together. He is scheduled to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I must admit my attitude about the whole issue was not good. In fact, I was in a bad mood all day until I got on my knees and in the Word. It is there that I found some much needed insight and direction. God sent me to Psalm 119. I began reading and before I knew it, my eyes fell upon verses 76 & 77:
"May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight."
These words stayed with me the rest of the day. And by the time Sean got home from work, my whole outlook had changed. The Lord showed me that I need only Him-even on holidays. That He will be with me. And that is all that I need. Praise be to God!

are you kidding me, that is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'm so sorry about the holidays, I can't imagine how hard that will be, I'm hoping to get a little dothan holiday time in with you though.
the best little caterpillar ever!!! you can make up pretend holidays and celebrate them with sean!! just use whatever day is closest to the real holiday that you can be together...do all the food and decorations and everything and act like its really thanksgiving/christmas or whatever! get a babysitter and go out!
Abby,
I am with you on the holiday blues. I will have to work Thanksgiving and the following weekend, Christmas Eve, and New Years Day. It has really been hard to deal with the thoughts of missing out on all the family I always see during the holidays. For years we had full weeks, and sometimes a month off to spend with our loved ones and then BOOM, one day we're all grown up and fighting for that time. I am glad the Lord spoke to you today. I will have to be reminded of those verses in Psalms as well.
oh my gosh, what a little ball of joy.
HOLY COW! WHAT A CUTE KID!!!! Like anyone would be surprised that you would birth the most adorable kid! Gosh! So good to hear you're doing so well!
