An end of an era?

Ok, ok, I won't get so dramatic about this... but it has been nearly 4 years since I have had this blog, and I am pretty sure I am going to stop writing on it for a couple reasons.

1. I have a blog with my husband... why do I need two?
2. I am pretty sure no one reads either, but we have a better chance if we condense it to just one blog. :)
3. I feel like it.


There you have it. Hope you will continue to or start reading http://www.thewenzelfamily.blogspot.com/


In Christ, Kate
Of course, being the lover of pictures and photography that I am, I thought I'd end with this...

What May Come

How fitting that my favorite verse (one of the top 5 for sure) is Psalms 46:1-3

God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam,though the mountains tremble at its swelling.

It seems this is a favorite verse, one the Lord has ingrained upon my heart and mind b/c there have been so many times in my life where the earth has given way in a sense. Whether it be a divorce, a death, anxiety, a long-term illness....etc and now this sudden possibibilty of having a tumor... and yet, we know that He is a VERY present help...a current, a NOW, an in-the-moment, down-on-your knees, help.
He is a refuge - there is nothing more an ill or weak person (whether that be physically or emotionally) longs for than a refuge. What is a refuge? The literal hebrew word means "shelter". Oh how we, how I, need a shelter from the storms that beat down. Thank God that He is a shelter. I am told not to fear BECAUSE I have the strength and shelter of the Most High upon me.
Lord, I pray You grant me the grace to trust in Your word, and in the truth that YOU are my shelter, that YOU have me in your right hand. That i am Your's, I am taken care of. Whatever may come.

It is Offical

It is official. I announced my resignation yesterday for work. I have three weeks left and then I will do as the Doctor's highly advised and take some time off to rest, regain strength and hopefully make progress on my health situation. We are about 95% sure that I have CFS or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The video is to help people in my life understand what CFS is and how it impacts those who have it. Please take a couple minutes to watch and listen to it. The first time I watched it, I cried only because it was the first time someone or something conveyed what i have been feeling, word for word. It was as if someone took my thoughts, my feelings, my soul and made this to portray it visually.
