Wow has time flown. Christmas day has come and gone and the winter weather has come and is slowly going. What a crazy season it has been for us, it all seems to be one big blur. Christmas was perfect: a beautiful snowfall, Jordan was excited, Jason was home on Christmas eve and Christmas day, and Alissa was just waiting to be held and snuggled. Everything would have been perfect had I not been as sick as a dog. I kind of found it hard to get in the spirit of things after being up all night.
This past week has been fun too. We have had snow on the ground practically since Christmas day (a record I'm sure for Arkansas) and unbelieveably cold temperatures with wind chills getting close to -20. Our heater was doing well, at least I thought, until it siezed up on Friday morning. Guess you can say our house demanded and got a makeover. This seemed to be a bad situation until we realized that the damage to our heater could have been leaking carbon monoxide into our home. So all in all, it was a blessing the motor siezed up or we may have never known about the leak in the heat exchanger.
It has been a tough couple of weeks, but to be honest God has taught me a lot! 1. Christmas is not about the mood or how you feel...it is about Him and the birth of His Son Jesus. 2. Things may seem crazy, life may be taxing, but God is here, He is good, and He cares for and provides for His children. How blessed I am to have a heavenly Father who loves me and protects me and my family.
