2008 Was Supposed to be Great

I can't say 2008 was great but it wasn't bad either. All the bad stuff that happened, the good outweights. This is a rough time for our family right now. With the many transitions in our life, my changing jobs, changing careers, changing location, Logan starting school, Shelby having died last month, the pregnancy, massive weight gain and then the mischarriage I had this year and then Doug's dad is dying. He is a wonderful man, more like a father to me than my own. It hurts to see him suffering. With all that and much more it seems that 2008 is shaping up to be pretty bad; however, I have to see the big picture. God has a plan....it would be nice if he would share, but he doesn't. I konw the only thing I can leave this year with is knowing that I have done his will, that my children are perfect 3 and 5 year olds, that my marriage is stronger than it has ever been and that my faith in God has not been shaken.
