Can you have Dementia at 26?

Hello out there to all of our blog readers! I am sure you are thinking that I have not posted in far too long and you are right. Sorry! I have taken new pictures but haven't uploaded them just yet. As many of you know we started putting in new floors in all of our bedrooms by ourselves. So far we have done Peter's room and just finished with our room. If you feel like you need a test of patience..try a do it yourself home improvement project together! Its lots of fun. :) I will say the second room was easier, but I think I am going nuts. I found the jelly in the pantry first, instead of the fridge. And then last night I ate ice cream and Pete found it in the refrigerator this morning. Today if you could look at my kitchen table you could see, all at one time, the many things that I need to do. File bills, pay bills, laundry, grocery store, real estate phone calls, wash dishes, put the base boards back on, move the furniture back, Tisha's baby shower, memorize my Bible verse for discipleship class...ok you get the hint. As I was standing in my kitchen, staring at the table with my mouth open deciding which one to tackle first I became completely overwhelmed and noticed my little Bible underneath one of the piles. I was reminded that that was the one I needed to start the day with, not just today but every morning. I like to get everything done and then sit down and relax and spend some time with God. But lately the "to do" list doesn't have an end and probably won't as long as I am working and have kids in the house. I praise Jesus for his refreshment in times of thirst if we'd just come to Him for a drink. I read Ephesians 1:18 and 19 , " I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength." God is so big and the pile on the table seemed not so large as He reminded me of the eternal salvation that he has given me. Praise Him for being all sufficient for our needs.

I promise I will have pictures of Peter on the next post for you aunts, uncles, Grans, and Mimis out there..lol.
