Summer's end...

Okay so this summer has been crazy for me, but not only me my whole family. God has been working with all of us to get us to stop relying on ourselves so much and to more rely on him. Shortly before this summer my aunt finally stopped drinking. It was something we had been praying about for a long time. Then as summer started I got really sick with stomach issues. I spent about the first half of summer really sick almost all the time. I had to trust that God would heal me before my following year of school. Doctors tried alot and then finally gave me some heavy duty muscle relaxants which seemed to do the trick. My dad ran into a bunch of trouble at his job because he works slower on the parts he builds but makes the best parts by far. Well the high up bosses put someone faster who wasn't as good on the parts which in the long run may mean more parts (expensive parts) get scrapped. My mom was nervous about some routine yet major surgery she had. Then she had it and has been limited in what she can do since then and for the next few weeks. Then my middle sister had some friendship/relational problems. Then we were wondering why everyone but my youngest sister was getting tested and then it happened. The elementary school that my mom, middle sister and I all went to in elementary, and that my littlest sister was still attending and still had one more year before graduation, closed down. They just weren't getting enough students. It was a shock and we ended up having to register her in August for a new school. She is really nervous about it but we all realize we have to trust God...and I guess that's when God brings my favorite verse to mind again.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and future." God really does and although we can't see all the results we can see some, for example the school my littlest sister is going to is a little better and higher technology then her old school. So I mean I guess we can all say Romans 8:28 is true "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose."
