As my heart aches from the "stuff" going on in our life I want nothing more than to cry and at points throw up my hands and give up. I cry out to God, "Why? What have I/am I done/doing wrong? How much longer? Where's the good in this or what is the point of responding in a Christ like way when you repeatedly get hurt in response?" I see all these other stay at home wives with all their wonderful articles on raising their children to follow Christ and daughters of the important role of being at home. It is definitely what I have wanted for my children and daughters. It's painful and I confess I am envious of the families I know who have "perfect" children who haven't abandoned their Faith, treat them with respect, and are motivated to help around the home or even themselves.
No, I am not giving up. I am just looking for a more private way to vent since I have steered away from a fb status vent because it only attracts the false support and finger pointers in the Church. That is the other issue we have is lack of community here locally. It seems sad that the only true community I have are a group of Godly women online, most whom I have never met.
It is sweltering hot out today but I think I need tomwalj and pray this hurt away.

Homemade Pop Tarts REALLY Do Exist!
So, it has been a rough week. Some things are personal and I just
don't know that it should be shared on a social media outlet, at least not
now, while we try and figure out the best way to deal with this matter.
My heart is troubled and confused and fearful with this matter and I am left
with the only thing I have known to bring me comfort and peace over the past
6+ years and that is my complete reliance on God for intervention and protection
in the midst of difficult times in life. He's all I have and all I need and daily, okay, sometimes hourly, need to remind myself that His plan is bigger and that I need to
completely surrender everything... EVERYTHING to Him!
Next up, I suddenly found myself very Tuesday. I believe it was food poisoning.
I felt I was letting my family down because, there was no homemade dinner, which meant there were not leftovers to put in containers so, there were no lunches for the following work day. I was aware I had let my family down and prayed they could understand and forgive me. When Mom gets sick, EVERYONE feels the effects of it! I still have two baskets of laundry to catch up on folding, and a 70th Birthday meal to organize for my Father-in-law for tomorrow night and currently no car to get out and about.( and it would be over an hour walk to get to the next town) God bless my husband though. He just called and asked if I wanted him to rent a car and have it sent to the house for me to get out and get all my tasks completed! I love that man!
Now, I want to get to the cheeriest part of my week. So, my dear friend posted a photo from her trip to New York of this beautifully created Latte and a homemade Pop Tart. HOMEMADE POP TART!?! I had never heard of them! So, I set out to search my friend Google and guess what I found? HOMEMADE POP TART RECIPE! These... are on my task
list today, and my children and my husband are going to be beyond excited when they get to taste these beautiful creations this weekend! I am so excited to have this recipe and know that they are a much healthier option than the one's you can purchase in the store. I have to find an appropriate frosting recipe for the top, but I am sure it's nothing more than a little icing sugar, milk and vanilla mixed together.
Here is the link to the recipe.Homemade Pop Tarts
Have a blessed weekend friends!
