Our Cabin

I have a little story. Might not mean much to others, meant the world to me.

At our Ash Wednesday service I was beside myself with worry about how to handle the cabin on the ESVA this year. This is the cabin that was my father's and was suppose to be mine, but my father died without having transferred it to me. Thus, it is owned by my stepmother on paper, but maintained solely by me. It's been a bit awkward of a situation. I had prayed about this often and 90% of the time was letting the Lord handle things. On Ash Wednesday I prayed and meditated about this asking God for resolution and peace. Then I forgot about it. Well a few weeks later I received a letter in the mail from my stepmother indicating she wanted my sister and I to decide what we wanted to do with the cabin. What WE wanted to do! Sister and I discussed and agreed we wanted the cabin put in our names. We wrote a letter back to stepmother and to our amazement, she agreed and is meeting with her lawyer on the Monday after Easter to determine the best way to make this happen.

Why is it I am always amazed by His grace? I am in awe. Now I know others may think there was no correlation between my prayer and worry and God's action, but not me. I love it when these things happen, because it affirms my believe that God does handle things in His time for His reasons and for the most part I am clueless.

How Peaceful Are You?

Tampax

I've gotta ask, is anyone else upset about Tampax changing their tampons? I am. I've used the same tampons for years, decades even ... and now, they are different.

How did this happen? Why didn't I know before it was going to happen and have time to stock up on the old style? Why didn't this make the news or something? I didn't see it head-lined on any women's magazine. Why does the modern world ignore something that happens to a woman for most of her life, for one week a month?

I've checked their site and I didn't find anything to explain when, why or how this happened.

I hate the new tampons. I've tried finding boxes of the old ones with little success.

I would have thought, after years and years of one tampon style, they would still offer it as an option for purchase even if they made new ones.

Go figure.
