Keep On Keeping On
Sometimes that’s just what you have to do. You suck it up, gather yer gumption, and push ahead to do what you know is the right thing. The God Who calls you to do it will equip and empower, so there’s nothing to lose except the encumbrances. And who needs more things to tie you down?
The practical side of that is that we are back home, making a go of it as mother and daughter for a few weeks. It reminds me a little of my mother and me when I was R’s age, only we didn’t have my dad’s love and support only a state’s width away and are not faced with the many unique challenges my mother and I were. I’m more than a little grateful for that.
A few months ago we pared down to no cable TV (R would consider that some degree of roughing it) so it’s just us and our cell phones and our internet connection (bless the Lord). I have two articles due and R is babysitting so we’ll stay busy enough tonight.
My heart and prayers are focused on baby Ethan. I love you, Lizzie. Give our hugs to your aunt and her family…and to you our dear sweet girl.

I needed to hear (read) that about keepin’ on. Its one of those situations where you think a certain way but, you need confermation by hearing someone else you love think the same way. Its encouraging. And thank you for the prayers, i can’t describe how much they mean to me. I went to check up on him again today at the hospital and there’s no real progress. But I’m keepin’ the faith! …I’m praying for you and your family and the whole stupid situation. : )
-Sad i can’t be there with you guys! Love you, Lizzie

I wish you could be here with us, too, sweetie. But I know the Lord is using you in a mighty way (probably in many ways you can’t even guess) and I know your aunt and her family are blessed to have you there with them. You are a cherished treasure wherever you are. I’m so glad you’re in my life.
I’m praying hard for Ethan and his family, and will continue.
Hugs,
