Well, So Much For Plans

Well, so much for plans for this week. Monday morning, I started getting really sick, and yesterday spent all day in bed, literally unable to hardly even walk. Today has been a bit better, but I think if by the morning, I'm not better, it's off to the doctor I go. I'm thinking strep; I know, yuck, right?! I mean, we have been sick about the whole month of February so far. I'm so tired of being sick, either myself or Jaden!Ahhhhh! I have planned to go to Springfield for about a month now, and every week something comes up. We had so much to do this week, and it's driving me crazy! Have you ever felt like that? You know you have dozens of things to do, and it's killing you to just rest, but in order to get better, you have to rest, at least as much as a mother can? (And I have to say here that I am blessed by a husband who has helped me tremendously by being home more and even taking the boys with him; trust me, yesterday, there was no way; I had to lay in bed with a bucket beside me; Honey, I love you so much; you're the only one, besides Mom:), who would hold my hair....ew!). Anyway, the Lord brought a verse to my mind, and it is an encouragement, so I thought I'd share; I know this is probably familiar, but hopefully, you can find new encouragement in it too:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29:11)
