So the last few weeks have been very lets say exciting. We have had several fieldtrips, a out of town funeral and a week in the hospital.
God has a way of getting our attention. I am ever so thankful that the Lord has allowed me to be so in tune with my children so that when our latest challenge appeared I was able to act on it immediately.
My daughter started becoming really thirsty last Thursday on our trip to St. Louis for my husband's grandfather's funeral. At first I thought maybe she was just bored and that was something she could do but when she started becoming emotional when we could not give her water right away I knew it was more serious. Throughout the weekend we kept close tabs on her and got her immediately into the pediatrician upon returning home.
The pediatrician gave us a clean bill of health and was ready to send us home. I reminded her why we had come and she said she would test her blood sugar to ease my mind but said she didn't think there was anything to worry about....moments later she was standing in the doorway ashen and asking to see me in the hall.
That began my journey to God's Challenge for me. I by nature am not an organized person. In fact quite the opposite. My mom and aunts used to tease me about being disorderly. This new challenge in our life of type 1 diabetes puts this subject of disorganization right up front...
God has blessed me with my four children and a wonderful husband and a nice sized house and the option to stay home and home school my children. That all comes with a bit of organization that I have haphazardly put together... This new challenge has me scrambling to find structure and order in my day.
So for the near future my challenge should I choose to accept it is to get this wonderful life of mine organized. This challenge I accept. Look forward to posts on how I plan to tackle this soon.
