The lawyers are coming!

It's not like I don't have anything better to do today. The lawyers are coming tomorrow to my house because I have to give a deposition. I have been in a panicked state about this for weeks. Actually, this was supposed to happen back in August, except that I was so close to having the baby that it was postponed.

I should probably be cleaning feverishly or something like that. I mean it might be nice if the powder room was reasonably clean, and maybe the living room, too. But I just can't seem to get motivated to do it right now.

So here I sit in front of the computer rambling to the whole world the three people who read my blog. It is a rainy, soggy day and a bit dismal. I called my Mom this morning and she prayed with me. I am trying to keep my focus where it should be, on Him. Seeing God in the everyday may be a basic discipline in the Christian life, but I don't think it is one that I have previously practiced very much. Reading Psalm 46 yesterday, I was reminded that He is my "ever-present help in trouble" and in control, even when I can't see the big picture. It is my prayer that He get the glory for this whole situation.

The lawyer for the plaintiff wanted to call me and discuss the deposition today. After finally getting the baby settled for a nap, putting the little guys in front of some cartoons, I called and we "discussed". Okay, so far, so good. I guess this won't be so bad.

I only had to give the boys "the eye" and motion for them to be good a few times while I was on the phone. Afterwards I put on some pretty music and made the boys lunch. Something about that mellow James Galway flute brings out the tender side of my boys. They couldn't stay on their chairs during lunch for all the hugs they wanted to give me. They are growing up so much, and I see that slowly, but surely they are learning to play together nicely.

All in all, it was a good morning. God is doing a work here. Sometimes I can't see it, but I can feel it. And I know I sense His presence.
