Karen, I am overwhelmed and humbled by your sweet words. It was truly my blessing that I was able to rescue your sweet girl from the airport and I will be honored to drag the royal charriot out of the carriage house at any time at any hour to fetch said princess in the future! That's what family is all about. Love you both! Wow! Karen, I am overwhelmed and humbled by your sweet words.

Given that often when things don't go the way I planned, they turn out better or I find a God-moment in them, one would think I would have learned it already. But thank you for the reminder.

As I wait here for the windshield replacement guy to show up (he's missed the 2 hour window time I was given) I thank you for this post. This is the year for me to say, "Amen! So be it! What do you want me to learn from this God?" I also ask for His wisdom in our parenting our two "adult aged kids" (22 and 19), and His wisdom to shower down on them! (By the way, in the middle of my typing, the windshield guy called to say that he won't be here until around 4:30). Amen! So be it! I am learning patience! Amen Sister!

I was going to wait until the end of March to quit my job. God had a different plan. In November things had gotten worse with my boss' disrespectful ways towards me and I couldn't take it anymore. I gave her my resignation letter and told her two weeks from that day would be my last day. She made that day my last day and told me to take all my things with me at the end of the day. I was very hurt at first but you know something, amen to it. I now believe it was God who had it planned that way.Because I'm not consumed withthe the stress and frustration with work and my boss I have more time for God. I have more time to pray for others without being tired. I've had time to read the blogs from you all at Proverbs 31 and find encouragement and email friends. Karen, amen to this sister!

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:11:30 +0000 http://karenehman.com/home/?p=1779#comment-16750 Yes, Karen! I'm in!!! Amen and Amen! :) I need to accept what God allows and then say 'ok, God, so be it. My twin sis, brother and I are all diagnosed with cancer with in a 4 mo. period? So be it. My beloved grandma dies 2 DAYS after I tell her I'm diagnosed-so be it. Then more family problems....so be it." AHHHH! 2008 was had A LOT of personal struggles and anguish for me and my family....but, you know, I truly believe that God has brought me out a stronger person. As cliche as that sounds, it's the truth. We've worked through it and, as much as I miss my grandma, I'm not grieving like I was. I know I will celebrate with her again one day. Thank you so much Karen, for you blog. I really needed to read that today. I think that this also goes along with what you're saying....to remember that as I live each day with 'Amen Living' that each person I come across may be struggling with their own situations. I can choose to be short and snappy....or I can choose the "so be it' response and be loving and compassionate. Yes, Karen! I’m in!!! Amen and Amen! :)

Just had the propane truck here. We are freezing and the bill is still high. Trying to do school with a grumpy 8 yo and I accidently got $32 charged to my bank account because of a dumb mistake. Thanks for your post! Instead of crying inside, I'm going to kneel and cry out to God and say Amen! Perfect timing on this post! Just had the propane truck here.

I don't know if it was successful. I have been having a bit of a pity party about the fact that I may need more surgery in the coming months if it wasn't a success. Thank you so much for your post today...I have a new attitude that I will cling to...regardless of what happens...Amen, so be it. Blesssings- Wendy in CA Karen-
