Blended families . . .

When I was 17 I became pregnant with my first baby.
At 18 I gave birth to my first son.
At 19 I became a "step-mom" to 2 beautiful girls.
When I typed "stepmom" in at dictionary.com the page showed this:
No results found for stepmom:
Did you mean supermom (in dictionary) or Stepmom (in reference)?

Being a stepmom has to be one of the most difficult jobs there is & having a blended family is definitely work. Our family is about as blended as they get. Tim & I work very hard at the blending of our family & I think we do a fabulous job. None-the-less, there are trials & low points (as every type of family encounters from time to time), this is a rough time for our family & without blabbing our business all over the internet & really upsetting our attorney with getting into the details I just want to say, Please pray for us, as we are headed back to court this week.

Lord, You know my heart & I trust You with all of it. I pray for Your will to be done, knowing that Your plan is not always the same as our plan. I give You my weary mommy heart & trust that You are in total control. Please take these worries from me Lord, allowing me to trust You completely. Help all those that are involved in the decision making to see our childs best interest & do all in their earthly power to protect her. If this is a battle You are sending us into, I pray You cloth us with Your armore & lead us through it. If this is a lesson You are teaching I pray You hold us tight as we open our eyes to things we may not be seeing. No matter what Lord, I trust You & will not be shaken. Lord God Almighty "Bring the rain!"

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am yours regardless of the clouds that may loom above
because you are much greater than my pain
you who made a way for me suffering your destiny
so tell me whats a little rain
