For the last oh….6 weeks I’d dare say, it seems like there is an evil force that’s just trying to tear my life apart. If you haven’t been reading, or realized all that’s going on here’s a partial, and yes I do say partial, list.

• Everyone in our home had a virus…at least twice.
• 4 trips to the ER including 2nd and 3rd degree burn to my husband the night before our wedding, dehydrated kid from virus, and kidney stone
• Flower lady couldn’t do wedding flowers.
• Ring Lady…should be a separate post and may be in the future. (they got here a couple hours before the wedding)
• honeymoon consisting of our own bed with half the couple very medicated
• husband can’t remember most of our ceremony, and pics make him looked high…he was high and wrapped up.
• Friday before the wedding, my mom and her side of the family….disowned me. My wedding plans came to a hault0′s
• I had 7 family members at my wedding.
• Did I mention my husband was drugged…
• Several nights going to bed feeling neglected, while taking care of a sick husband.
• Money…or the lack there-of. My husband has been un-employed since November and is only drawing partial unemployment from the state of Alabama…yeah.
• Mom went into the hospital with kidney stones and severe kidney infection.
• Scott’s aunt went into the hospital with internal bleeding
• Mom’s 1st cousin and his wife (both in their 70′s) were in a terrible accident where both have around 25 broken bones and severe head trauma, not expected to make it thus far.
• Scott’s cousin was in a fight and pushed down and 60 ft. Cliff, hit his the back of his head and the side of his face on things…2 different ER’s for him.
• 3 Family members with threat’s of Cancer.
• Oh yeah, did I mention that my husband slept through most of our honeymoon because of the pain meds he was on? or the part where we had to sleep in separate beds because he was in the burn unit because of infection in his burn site?
• Seeing someone with 80% burn to their body…in one ER

How have I dealt with this you may say…well its not easy. I’ve cried, I’ve prayed, I’ve asked for prayer. I have faith in my God and my husband. I’ve slept when my husband can sleep, even if it is in the middle of the day, I slept when I knew the nurses were taking care of him, and I was too exhausted to know they were even in our room. I’ve gone without meals, without noticing only because there was too much going on to care.

There are a few things that I have learned and that is that God will never put you through anything that you can’t handle. A woman is like a tea bag, put her in hot water and she only gets stronger. Satan can’t get the best of me, because I’m the princess of the greatest King there ever was or will be. I have a great network of God-fearing friends all over the world that have prayed me through a lot of rough times, and they continue to pray for me daily.

I’m thankful to my family, my new husband especailly, my new inlaws, my God and all of my friends worldwide.

Nothing stopped our wedding when it very well could have, if we were not believers and so determined to get married. Nothing can tear our family apart because we are devoted to God and each other. It may be hard, but its nothing that faith and Prayer will not get us through.
