More Than You Can Handle

Here I am again, already neglecting my blog. LOL But in my defense, a LOT has been going on around here.

They always say, God will never give you more than you can handle. And I always believed that until I came across another saying:

Now that sounds about right! Let me fill you in on what has been happening around here JUST since my last post:

• The very day I published my last post, I found out my boss was diagnosed with leukemia. COMPLETE SHOCK. The shock didn't really wear off that entire week. I still can't believe it, but we have to stay focused on keeping the company running while he's away for treatment. Cancer is never good, obviously, but being diagnosed a week before tax season (he's also our CPA, for those who don't know what I do) made it ten times worse. So coming up with a game plan and keeping all our clients happy while he focuses on fighting this, has taken a lot.
• That following week, we didn't have any hot water. None. Not even a little. The landlord had to send someone the next day and thank God he got it fixed.
• The following Tuesday, we had a leaky toilet and the landlord sent the plumber back out to fix that. His name is Keith, we're getting to know each other well. haha
• The next day, my dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer. Being already numb from the first shock, I still haven't fully processed this. Keeping hope that they'll be able to remove it and all will be okay. We'll know more next month.
• Yesterday I passed my Intermediate Accounting I class. I've been working on it since early January. It was tough and took so much time and energy that on top of everything else, I'm surprised I passed the exam. Very thankful I did though. A weight was immediately lifted when I saw that "Passed" symbol!
• And now this morning, I go to take a shower and we have no hot water pressure. Seriously!? I just can't win. I guess I'll be seeing Keith again real soon.
• Oh and on top of all of this, it's been rainy. I don't remember the last day we didn't have rain and it's supposed to keep raining thru next week. We've seen more rain in the last 7 months, than I seen in the 7 years I lived in the Southwest. It's depressing and I'm over it.

So you see, there's no way God doesn't give you more than you can handle. It's all about trusting him to handle it for you. :)
