Keep Spirits Up

It's hard to keep your spirits up. It's work. Maybe it's a choice, but I'm not sure how great of choice when choosing to keep your spirit high, a positive outlook, a belief that things will work out . . . when it seems to lend itself to disappointment(s).

I was disappointed today when I paid $15 for postage. Disappointed is an understatement. Why am I disappointed over $15 when we are facing foreclosure? I don't know . . . I guess I'm trying to recover something, build something back up for Tolga and I, and it is discouraging because life happens and charges you fifteen dollars for postage.

We need to keep our hopes up. We must. We are glad to be here with family. We look forward to the days when we can be with Tolga's family again. We look forward to creating and building our own home.

We just want to contribute something, and subbing isn't quite cutting it. But I'm grateful for this at least. And we are continuing to pray that the Lord's will be done. And we are continuing to try to submit to this.
