Well, I have finally made it back. I have been reading blogs and crying for about 30 minutes now. I have actually not cried this week up until now. Thank you dear friends!! I mean you have written some of the most encouraging words. I feel overwhelmed with fears and sadness. I just miss my sweet friends so much. You have reminded me to stay focused!! You are a grace that experienced everyday!!
However, I have also felt so much grace during this time. It looks different everyday. I can tell this experience is going to force me to grow up. All the way from praying the Lord will protect us from spiders and scorpions (yes they are out there somewhere) to praying that the Lord would just help me find my toaster!!! Adeline and I need our waffles!! A few more graces: the kids are sleeping, I made it through Shane being out of town, I have met a couple of moms, the pottery barn outlet, baby deer in our back yard, older moms across the street, finding the post office, did I mention the pottery barn outlet?, lots of giggles, playing with the water hose, naps, Adam walking and eating.......ok I could go on. The Lord is good. The Lord is faithful. He has a long road ahead with me, but overwhelmed with the grace that He chooses me to refine me and mold me through seasons like these! Clinging to his side as I walk with Him!
