Its hard to let go and let God. We seem to want to let him have a fraction of our problem but still hold onto some of it ourselves. Why? Why would we as children of God want to hold onto the hurt and issues of life when he said in his word to give them to him? Is it pride? Is it a feeling of 'I can do this God'. What is it that motivates us to hang onto so much hurt and stress?
I know in my daily life I battle day after day. Hurts, regrets, stress, issues of life, and I tell myself Im gonna hand it over to him but then the next thing I know im still holding half the problem in my hand. We have to learn to turn it ALL over to God. Not half. Not Three quarters. ALL! All the hurt. All the heartache. And all the stress!
Im learning ....
Thats what he is here for. But we have to make the first move. Release.
Night to all

Finding the blessing in the tragedy
One week ago we had a house fire. We all were okay thanks to Gods protection. Alot of internal damage and things that will need replaced and thats okay. Thats what we have State Farm for!
We are now living in this nice little two bedroom hotel room. Yes all 6 of us are living in a two bedroom hotel room. We have all learned that inside voices are a must and that we all have to share our sleeping space with others. For now this is home to us and we are making the most of it. Clean linens everyday. Free breakfast. We are finding much needed rest while our house is remodeled. New floors. New walls. New air condition unit. New paint and all new bedroom furniture for everyone. This was truly a blessing within a tragedy. I did cry when I first entered the house after it happened. This was the house i grew up in. This house has sooo many memories of my childhood and is were we have chosen to raise our children. Its home to us and we almost lost it all.
But God took what Satan intended for evil and turned it into Good! Satan once again lost a battle against the Wells family. Our God is bigger than anything we face. Yes we are stuck in this hotel for weeks to come BUT we will have a remodeled house to go home to when its over. So for now we will enjoy the maid service that comes everyday and the cook who makes us breakfast.
