Life In Fast Forward
Posted by Nadene under: Nadene's Thoughts .
Hello Friends,
Life has been going pretty fast for me lately. Last week I was a full time nanny for a family with three kids ages 5, 4, and 21 months. By the end of the week I was pooped!! I slept really well this last weekend 
and I’m completely recovered now. This week will be spent on getting back into my groove, which will include catching up on housework and laundry.
It is hard to believe that it is already November 10th!!!! I am more and more amazed at how time continues to pass even when I feel that I am standing still. I was surprised at myself throughout the month of October. I didn’t feel a whole lot of emotions specifically about my mom’s death. I was definitely emotional about other stuff though. Now that I am into November, I can feel the emotions specifically about her coming to the surface again. I think it is a combination of the holidays quickly approaching as well as the timing. This month it will be five months! I just can’t even believe it.
God has been very faithful in providing for me. The week of nannying certainly provided me with a lot of extra money that I need. God has also given me more hours at my job at Sylvan. My substituting still hasn’t come through yet, but I can see how God is providing for me anyway. My mom was a true believer in God’s provision. I watched that belief as I grew up and I saw how God always provided for us as a family, even in the worst of times. At this point I am not even close to those “worst of times” we experienced in the past, and still the memory of her belief is an inspiration to me now, to continue to trust the Lord for my needs.
Thank you all for your continued prayers! Again, please let me know of anything I can be praying for.
