A lot of fires

I've been home a week and it has been good. I've gotten a lot done, but it seems there is always more to do. I see the end in sight. This morning the counseling pastor at the church here told me that every 3 moves in a marriage is the same stress as one fire. We're going on 4 fires now (that's about 12 moves in our 17 years of marriage for those of you not good at division).

I always think that I'm doing fine with the stress of our moves and then my body says otherwise. So I'm here to ask for your prayers for my body and the stress it is feeling. This morning I woke up with a stiff neck and head ache. I've been fighting a knot that wants to control my shoulder with pain for a month now. And then this afternoon heartburn struck. I rarely get heart burn. But I think it is heart burn from stress, if there can be such a thing. Deep breathing is also hard to do right now.

So please pray for me in these weeks ahead and even more so in these next few days. I need to deal with the stress as God would have me deal with it. I'm not even sure what that means. Thanks for your prayers.
