Ups and Downs of Life

Life continues to go on with many ups and downs along the way. Josh has been busy some at work (gone for several days at a time) and then unexpectedly home for a week (up) and then gone again (down). He is currently gone but on vacation this time. Josh is at deer camp with his dad and some family friends (down). I'm hoping he gets a deer so we have some meat to eat (up). Hopefully I will get to join him in one week from today (up) because I really miss him. I think him being at deer camp is even harder then him working on the road. Part of the reason for this is that there is such bad cell phone reception there it's hard to have a reasonable conversation. You get so tired of repeating yourself that you just give up and either shorten what you were going to say or not say it at all (down). I thought I had a cat sitter all lined up for when Josh and I will be gone but that fell through (down). On a positive note I got a new somewhat part-time job that will help me get through my licensure faster and with some extra income with we need (up). I got an explanation of benefits from my insurance company saying they are not going to pay for my recent eye exam or glasses/contacts which is expensive(down). The weather outside is beautiful and I've gotten to enjoy several walks up and down the hills/streets in my neighborhood (up). Clients at my other job either not showing up or not paying for their session (down). My parents will be moving here next Friday (UP).

This is life the ups and downs. Some days I think it's much harder then I had anticipated to do life and I guess on those days I'm reminded of how much I really need God in my life on a day-to-day basis. I'm not made to do this alone and frankly it's frustrating that I forget this so often and try to do it on my own anyway. God knows all the details of my life and has promised to never leave me. I don't know how some of these downs in my life are going to get worked out but I'm trying to cast my cares on Him because he cares for me and therefore I don't need to worry about them.
