Full of Much, –Ful of Less
It has been a VERY full day.
Full of Play:
Dressing up like police officers, Bob the Builder, and firemen with our family friend CJ
Eating at Sonic for an afternoon treat
Visiting our local firehouse and having Mr. David the Fireman give us a tour of the trucks and gadgets
Full of Business:
Phone calls securing insurance for our family
Phone calls with possible job leads for Brad
Conversations about Future Prospects and Unknowns
Financial Discussions
Full of Questions, Full of Mystery, Full of Unaccomplished Plans, Full of Fun, Full of Confusion, Full of Celebration, Full of Sarcasm, Full of Unanswered Messages in my Inbox, Full of Thankfulness for Answered Prayers…
And I’m discovering that the MORE I think I’ve learned to trust God with my life, the MORE He is showing me that there’s so much MORE to trust Him with FULLY.
And He’s teaching me that I need to be more ThankFUL, FaithFUL, TrustFUL, and JoyFUL…
…and less FearFUL!

Enjoyed your post. It really is true that the more we trust the Lord, the more He does for us. I have been wanting to switch Dr's in my OB/GYN's group and they wouldn't let me so I was about to leave the practice all together (even though they are the best) and today they brought it up and suggested I switch to another Dr in the group and now it's a done deal! I wont have a consult till mid January but…I have a great feeling:)
I hope some prospects come through for Brad jobwise, but how wonderful to have fun filled time with the boys and learning how to trust God.
Thanks for the post – I think I needed the reminder! Know that I am praying for you and your family and that Brad finds a job soon!
Jen, I really needed to hear this message today – thank you. As always, your posts make me think, smile, cry, laugh out loud and be THANKFUL that I've worked w/you and known you! Have a blessed holiday!

Sounds like you are in a good place. Praying for your family!
? for you did you get your boys the H1N1 shots?
Thanks for this post. I really needed the reminder. Hugs to you and your family!
I love reading your blog, and I really do hope/pray Brad finds a great job (with a great pay!) very soon!
We are about to have our first child (a baby boy), and I can't imagine how hard it would be if my husband was not employed. And yet you remain so positive, even with your four cute boys… which is why I know good news will surely come your way soon. Y'all are in my thoughts.
"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you, there is more of God and His rule." Matt. 7 The Message
prayers for you as you are filled.
