Let just begin my saying...THANK Y'ALL FOR THE PRAYERS! If you have been praying for my my family and me, I really, really appreciate it. I just got some news, that my daddy is looking to be doing a lot better. How great is God? But really?! He is absolutely amazing. I am so blessed. Although if you had seen me just over an hour ago, you would not have gotten the impression from me. I was in tears several times today. This month has just been so stressful for me, and this week has helped...NONE!
So first I found out my dad, who I haven't spoke to in over a year, (just in case you are new) is in the hospital in Afghanistan with internal bleeding. His wife wasn't giving us information. So I began calling anyone and everyone with the company he works for to get answers. I got answers just in time for them to move him to a hospital in Dubai where I could no longer get answers. In the mean time, Dana had gotten into a car wreck. Her entire rear end was crushed and she began to have back problems so we started dealing with insurance companies and all of that jazz. We also were all three signing up for classes and trying to figure out our financial aide situation so we could pay for classes. Then my dad get released from the hospital and within 2 hours is back in needing a second blood transfusion in a week. We got Dana into a rental car while her car was getting fixed and she had that for a week. During that time, R.E.'s car gets broken into at 4 am one morning. His iPod is stolen, but neither of his $300+ Oakley's were taken. That same day, Roxanne has 2 major seizures and scared R.E. and I. He had a panic attack and broke out in hives. I left for Dallas last Thursday and the next day my mom left for Alabama. Dana got her car back and the starter went out so she has my mom's car while mom is Alabama. I came home and Dana had her worst anxiety attack yet. School started Monday, I have a crap load of homework already, and work decided it was the most appropriate time to schedule me overtime.
No big deal. Just a minor speed bump. That's a joke. This month has taught me self-control, patience, how to control my temper, to lean on God more, and has definitely tested my faith. So my breakdowns today did not come as a surprise to anyone. Actually everyone was expecting those to happen weeks ago. I am so thankful for my amazing momma who has been loving me and encouraging and helping me through all of this, my family who has really pulled together to be there for the 3 of us kids, my friends who are constantly praying for me, and most of all...Tyler and his wonderful family. His family has been so loving and understanding. Tyler is seriously the most perfect guy. He challenges me and encourages me to do better, loves me, and prays for me. I seriously couldn't ask God for a better man in my life right now. Despite everything that has gone wrong, any chance I get to see Tyler or talk to him...that's when I am at most happiest and I don't feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Lee Brice has a song called "Hard To Love" and currently that is my song to Tyler. I am hard to love, but thankfully he does despite all the mass chaos going on.
Again thanks for all the prayers, y'all. I seriously couldn't get through all of this without the prayers. Be blessed!!
