You Drive Me CRAZY!

Several of you people probably recall this song “You drive me crazy” by the infamous Brittany Spears.  There was even a movie with this title, starring Melissa Joan Heart.  Apparantly at one time her and Brit were pretty tight. . .ok that is not the point of this blog.  I am so over that music.  ANYWAY!  This is another “confessions” blog.  Ok ladies, PLEASE tell me I am not alone in this!  I absolutely LOVE my husband, I am IN love with him, ADORE  him, cherish him, and have enjoyed extra time with him.  HOWEVER, I am seriously going crazy sometimes!  I love you, but YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY!   I mean that in the most loving way possible.  I realize that there is good reason that people work.  While I enjoy our time together, and in fact, it is really a blessing we are getting so much time together right now, I am recognizing that the saying “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” really is true.  I am not always the easiest person to get along with.  Well hey, I am woman, HEAR ME ROAR!  Sometimes I am cranky, moody and yes, I do nag. (though, I am working on it).  I think our 6 month old daughter already has that wonderful skill down gauging from the piercing “Mommy, LOOK AT ME” wail. . .ANYWAYS, part of the reason that Andrew drives me crazy at times is because he speaks truth.  That can be irritating for people to hear.  I am a worrier.  I know I worry about DUMB DUMB DUMB things, but sometimes I can’t stop myself!  Our counseling IS helping with it, so keep praying!   So, whenever I worry, andrew reminds me that I shouldn’t worry, God is in control, and to be honest, what I am worrying about is quite silly anway.  haha, so yes, ladies this ANNOYS me to know end.  I know Andrew loves me and I know he wants me to not worry.  However, he would also admit he isn’t the most mercy driven person, haha.  Sometimes he realizes he doesn’t tell me not to worry in the nicest way.  We are learning a lot about each other during this unsure time.  God knows what he is doing, and if this time is to teach us to better understand each other, as well as God, then so be it.  Pray that I can relax and go with God.  I mean, we are still doing what we can to have money, look for a job, set a time to move, but ultimately, it is in God’s hands, not ours.  I think if I would remember that on a day to day basis, I probably would be saying “YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!” to Andrew a lot less I would realize there is a time and a season for EVERYTHING (SEE HERE), and this is a season God has us going through for a REASON.  God ALWAYS has a reason, even though we may not be able to see it right now.  We will look back on this later and understand why we went through this.  Please be praying we make the most of this time, learn from it, grow from it and learn to love and cherish each other even more.  I DO love you sweetie and you only SOMETIMES drive me crazy.  Hey, I drive him crazy too, just ask him!  I think that is a rule of marriage. . .
