what a day!

Hello Everyone,
I am feeling tired and strange and stressed all in one. What a crazy day. It was not too bad at the beginning but going into the evening was bad. We have been packing for our holiday which starts tomorrow morning with an early flight to Queensland. It has been so busy with trying to get the house in order and pack everything that Isaac might need, including clothes, nappies, snugglies, dummies,toys, medicines and not just all his but my clothes and toiletries and medicine...oh do I have such a long list of medicines it is overwhelming. I think Isaac could sense my stress because he became roudy and holding onto me..not listening to me and I am so tired that I just lost it and yelled at him...which I fel so bad about. We have made up and said sorry to each other...but we really needed him to calm down so we could do the rest of the packing. I have been feeling stressed and then tomorrow I have to get up so early...the earliet I have ever had to get up since pneumonia and am worried about how my body will cope!

Can I do it and survive the day. I so just want to be there. It is gonna be the break that I need? we will have such fun.....no pressure....from work related issues in all areas....and no pressure from medical issues in all areas......ahhh....it will be relaxing once the packing is finished and we are all on the plane!
Pray for our safe arriving and for our safe holiday. Pray I don't get sick and end up needing hospital treatment...pray we get home safe....pray our cats at home will be looked after properly and be safe.....Darren you can expect me wanting to check on the cats and ring to see how you are going.
Well, I hope I sleep well tonight.
Thanks for checking in with me.
Love Charisse

Have a great trip!
Some very special words about the Lord's love and concern and His readiness to be there to help in time of need. Praying so for your needs right now!
Psalms 20:1-2, 6: The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Still praying!
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Hi Charisse,

It sounds like you are pretty wiped out!! It is amazing how much effort it takes to pack for a trip. I think it's tiring and I don't have the health issues you do...I can only imagine how it wipes you out. It does seem like kids know when we are stressed & busy and can make it more difficult. It's hard when we mess up and get upset at them - jsut remember we all do it! You are an excellent mom.

I hope you had a great trip and that you stay healthy and that the cats are okay.

Even though I am not always online, I think of you often and you are such a special friend!

Love,
Teresa

These words always give me such great comfort. Know that I'm still here and still praying so hard!
1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

No matter what happens, keep your eyes on the Lord! Know that I'm praying!
Psalms 125:1-2 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Praying as always!
Isaiah 40:28-29, 31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength...But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalms 23:4-6 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Lifting you up in prayer right now!
Psalms 3:2-5 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Can never go wrong sharing these wonderful words. Praying!
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
