I have been struggling with my joy lately. I want it back. This last year and a half has been a stressful one for me. As much as I trust in the Lord, and know that he is protecting me, it has still been hard. I've been dealing with really bad insomnia, although I'm glad it's not every single night. But the nights I have it - yuck! That's the best way to sum it up. Yuck! So I'm praying for my joy to return, and return big! I have a lot to be joyful about - a wonderful, patient husband, beautiful children, great friends, and above all else, a God who loves me and protects me and brings miracles into my life. Believe me, I am very, very thankful for all of that. But just the everyday struggles - that does me in some days. God gave me three children so much like me - stubborn headed, independent and moody! - and wow! Talk about a test of patience! I know I'll get through it, and I'll look back on these days with fondness, but if I could just laugh more about it instead of stressing about it, life would be so much more pleasant!
So if you are a praying person, keep me in yours prayers. I would sure appreciate it.

Have you tried melatonin for the insomnia? I take it occasionally if I've had a couple of bad nights and want to reset my clock. You can take it all the time too. I will keep you in my prayers as well.
Thanks for responding to my query and giving me the new blog site.
Thanks for pointing me to your new blog! It's so nice to "catch up."
Sorry about your current struggle. I fight that, too. Adding you to my prayers.
