I can hardly believe it! Two more days of groups then the LAST weekend of the 2011 corn maze! Hallelujah!
This week has been so busy that I haven’t even taken a moment to write a quick post.
I “feel” so out of sync. I have missed the past couple of Sundays at church and have literally been running on junk food, fast food, and fumes. Who is this woman?
So many words of frustration and aggravation come rolling out of my mouth lately. I have said it before and I will say it again: Unless you deal with the general public, you really have no idea the condition of the world around you. Seriously — SO MANY people are angry and self-entitled. So many don’t know Jesus.
I continue to be amazed at the way the ADULTS act. Children, even when they act rotten, can be somewhat understood, “He is young.” But parents?
I have often compared myself to a grape. I know what is in me by what comes OUT OF ME when I’m squished (or hard pressed).
Right now I do a lot of sighing and “you’ve gotta be kidding me!” statements.
On a positive note, God has used our maze to bless a lot of families who need the extra funds right now. And I’m grateful to have a way to supplement our income! I do thank God for the opportunity to help and bless my husband.
On another note, my parents are still hanging on. This has been a difficult season for my Daddy. He seems to be confused (which is concerning him since he has been sharp until now). He is 89. I’m sure it is frustrating to have a lot of strangers running his home, but I don’t know what else to do. My Mom needs full-time care now that she is bedridden, so basically we are leaning on the mercy and kindness of strangers. Such a sad situation. It is NEVER easy becoming the parent in a child/parent relationship. Nothing can prepare a child for such a time as this.
I pray all of you are doing well. I’ll be free to be me again next week! I look forward to visiting you and catching up.
God’s richest blessings to you.

Morning, Beth!
I know you’re going to be so relieved to be done with the corn maze. I can only imagine how much work you’ve put into it. I, too, often become appalled by the way parents act, particularly in front of their children. Do they not realize that their kids are watching and taking it all in? I’m sorry that you’re facing some tough struggles with your parents. Like you said, you can never be prepared for that time in life. Praying that God will provide you with comfort, grace, and mercy, now and in the coming days. BIG HUGS!
