Job of the Bible or Eeyore of the Hundred Acres Woods?


At least in the Smalley house!

My heart is so heavy!

The trials that we have faced and are still facing over the past year and a half are just threatening
to squeeze the life out of us. I know that sounds dramatic but  I assure you if I could climb in bed, black out my windows and throw the covers over my head...I WOULD! 
I've said that I feel like Job from the Bible. He had everything taken from him. Stripped of his
family as he knew it, home as he knew it, LIFE as he knew it. Well, THAT IS ME!
However, I also am quickly reminded that perhaps I should compare myself to someone
other than Job. After all, satan did find Job to be so righteous that he just wanted to prove that such an amazing man would curse God in the heat of suffering. Job was being hit from every angle. One messenger would report and then another and another. I have at least had a 16 month span of time to get slammed

OH, how I do NOT relate to Job!
I remember falling in the floor of my house after everyone had left just sobbing my eyes out
I remember driving down the road screaming so hard that it hurt MY ears
and just asking God WHY!?!?!
I've been bitter
I've been SO angry
so, lets be honest...JOB...not close! 
MORE LIKE THIS GUY



So, now that we have cleared that up lets move on :)

We just can not figure out when its going to stop!
We laugh/sigh heavily :) and wonder what in the WORLD it must be like to have only
ONE thing going on at a time

I swear I keep looking at Cameron and think I may need to take us both out in the ocean and see who the Jonah is. Lets get this thing over with! Lets jump out and see who the whale swallows! The seas will surely be calmed then...right?
