God is Faithful

Today I wanted to find a text to send to a parent on a Caring Page - her daughter has an inoperable brain tumour. I quoted this text :"Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it." 1 Corinthians 10:13. I thought it might help this mother, who is struggling to see her daughter go through so much. But then I thought about how much I need this text, too. Sometimes I struggle with the emotional and physical problems in caring for Miss 5 and forget that God placed her with us for a reason. He will not let it become too big a burden for me. I need to put my faith and trust in Him, knowing that He already knows my weaknesses - physical and mental - and He has promised to provide. Thank you, God, for being there for me.

Storm Co

Where do the days go? Miss 5 has been in respite since Wednesday afternoon, but I have been busy putting together an encouragement book for a friend with cancer; making a special card for my Mum who will be 102 on Monday, and making clown costumes for DD2 and a friend. They are off on STORM Co (Service To Others Really Matters) tomorrow; DD2 goes to Wiluna and her friend goes to Cue and they run Kids Programs and do some community service work for the week.
Managed to get my shopping done, some washing dry (difficult this weather) and my hair cut - only forgot to take my camera to get it fixed. Oh well, there is always next week!
