Tackle It Tuesday #115

by Carolyn

Oh Ladies! How I have missed you!

I don’t even have the words to say thank you… reading the comments last week brought me so much love and joy (and tears)… I pray that God will bless you above and beyond the measure you have blessed me. Thank you all for your prayers – they were definitely felt and appreciated!

I sincerely look forward to seeing you all on Tuesdays and have felt so bad to be struggling through my meezly little tackles each week thinking I am in no way encouraging you through any of this… but then I saw that you were encouraging me and I saw how God works EVERYTHING for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28)

A HUGE change happened in my family’s life last Tuesday that I think has already really REALLY helped me. I have been feeling better each day and the strangest things have even been going wrong which makes me feel like what we are doing is right.
You know what I mean, right? The spiritual warfare… when you are in God’s will it seems the most peculiar things happen to get you in the wrong again…

…part of my tackle reflects this…

… Our car had a flat tire, just out of the blue – great timing huh? I took it down to our repair guy and it seems there was a nail in there – of coarse there was!

Take a look…

Oh yes and as you can see I also tackled the building of my daughter’s crib! I had to pull it out of the garage and find a place to put it… yes my poor daughter is sharing my scrap space with me – poor little lady.

Building the crib took me FOREVER because the phone was ringing like mad, and my son kept trying to steal the screws, and I didn’t have the directions, so I kept building part of it wrong! Oye!

Oh, and look at this :)

What are you tackling? Link up and let us know!

I meant Congratulations! Not Gongratulations. Silly me.

This week’s tackle was very collaborative… God sent my mother-in-law to help me nest in preparation for our little one’s arrival at the end of the month.

Big (((HUGS))). I’m so glad you are feeling better. I went through a bad post partum depression right after my youngest daughter was born.

You did so good with your tackles this week. Great job on the crib too without directions.

I love that picture of your little sweetie too.

Oh my! I’m tackling my Mother in Law = what can I say, it has to be done.

Meanwhile for future reference I’d recommend one of those cordless phones, hands free thingies.

I don’t actually have one myself of course because blue isn’t really my colour.

Cheers

Happy to hear that you are feeling better! Your little girl is so cute–and what an accomplishment to be able to roll over! You gotta watch out for her now because she is mobile!
