• I woke up with a headache this morning, but happily I also woke up to a pix
  message from my 17YO son with him smiling this goofy toothy grin, accomplanied
  by a voice msg. that said, “Morning, Mommy. I love you. You’re the best mommy
  ever. Mwah!” That boy is a trip.

  God continues to heal our hearts and fill our empties with His love and provision. We are developing a new “normal”, trying to make the best of our times separated as a family, finding creative ways to keep in close touch with one another. In the end I’m sure we will be stronger and closer for this time of trial, although unfortunately some of the lessons learned during this time have been very disappointing and I pray daily that my kids don’t wind up afraid of opening themselves up to people for fear of being abruptly abandoned. I trust that the Lord will continue to teach us the right lessons and keep our hearts open most of all to Him, and that He will show us the right times and ways to open to others while keeping our hearts guarded against damage that would hinder our openness to Him.

  I am glad that our God will never leave us or forsake us. That is something we can all take to the bank, regardless of the economy.
