Blessings and Life

We have had a lot going on these last few weeks. Moving was an adventure, our vacationing was an adventure that added more adventures. Spencer starting a new job and that has been very time consuming but less stressful than school. He really enjoys the Dr. that he is working for and all of the time that they have to talk about Chiropractic and more specifically CBP.
One of the added adventures that came from our vacation was me rear-ending another car while in Idaho so that required me making another trip home to pick up our repaired car and going to court to settle the case. Thankfully our car cost less than expected and 2 of the 3 charges were dropped making my fines minimal. So these are a few blessings. Another blessing was being able to see my family and spend time with them. One of my brothers left for boot camp right after my visit and the other just had his wisdom teeth pulled so I was able to help pamper the one and see the other before his leaving. Family is a great blessing!
Thankfully my mother decided to come back to Washington with me and help entertain my son while I drove. It was a long trip and she did a great job. Stetson also was well behaved for being in the car for over 8 hours.
Another blessing, although tragic as well is that my mother is here to take care of me and my little family. After returning from my trip to Idaho on Monday we celebrated my birthday on Tuesday and then Wednesday morning the tragedy stuck. I miscarried our baby. I am doing fine now we are pretty sure that the baby quite thriving few weeks ago i just hadn't noticed or allowed my self to think about it.
I know that there must be a reason and that the Lord is watching out for me... us! I also know that I don't have to know the answers to everything or the reasons for why things happen the way they do, when they do. I can only trust that the Lord loves me and wan mmnts to bless me. The only frustrating part is knowing that what I want isn't always what the Lord has in store for me.
