Working Against Us (inspired by Stephanie, the author of the Daily Scoop)

People go when they are meant to go. Here are a few things that were working against us to allow God's will to be done in bringing Stacy home.

1. We did not have our own place. The basement, which was meant to be our little home for the summer was flooded and turned into a scary place, so Stacy wasn't sleeping well. Sleep loss can cause headaches.

2. We had an erratic schedule because we didn't have our own place.

3. We were in the middle of the chaos of a big transition and a big move.

4. We thought we didn't have health insurance.

5. I'm nearsighted. Nearsightedness is often a cause of headaches in early readers.

6. Stacy had just started school and was exposed to all kinds of new germs, etc.
