Trials and Tribulations....

Ever been rafting on a river and get caught in bushes or branches along the way? I have and I nearly drowned however I hung to the tree branches until someone could pull me out.
This is what life was like this past week. I was going along the river of life when wham I hit what I call trials and tribulations. The emotions were high strung, the frustrations were wound tight and I wanted to take flight ! We have had so many choices to make in one weeks time.
I had to pull my older son out of public school and put him into a homeschool environment so that he doesnt fail 8th grade. He will be homeschooled through an online private school they does the teaching and everything. He will start Monday and we will be doing this for a year. This is a huge change for me who loves her space and time alone during the day and now its all being yanked away. Maybe I am being selfish but I know I function better when I have that space. So in all this I felt I was sinking. I finally have had to come to a point where I will have to give more of myself and deal with me less for a season.
It won't be easy for sure but I know with Father by my side I can do it... I wouldnt be able to without him.
Its nerve wracking going through these sudden changes.. seems everything is changing in my life. We have been working on our house making it look better, Bill has a new job that keeps him busy far too much and Justin will be preparing himself to go to Europe next summer with People to People Student Ambassador. So yeah it's craziness for me.
I just am thankful that no matter what I do Holy Spirit Guides me and Jesus walks besides me and Father watches over me and there are angels all around ministering to me as needed. Jesus is my raft, Holy Spirit are/is the oars and the River of Life is what flows from my Father's throne..... I praise Him for His lovingkindness leads me on this path that will carry me through to the very end.
He is the One that I need, He is the One that sets me free. As I soar He takes me newer heights and newer places ! To be steadfast in His precense is a comforting place to be! Safe and Secure in His amazing arms of love. When I'm tired, He is my strength, when I feel alone, He is my friend, when I cry, He is my comfort, when I laugh, He is my joy, when I hide, He is my refuge, when I soar, He is the wings takes me from shore to shore. Daughter am I , the apple of His eye...the one He loves and adores. I am grateful to be forever HIS!!! Is He yours???
