Life in a Nutshell

Nov. 6, 2006

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

We had our first snow fall here in New Brunswick today.  It was beautiful to see.  Another part of God's magnificent creation.  I look out my window and see the trees laiden with snow, the ground is covered, the kids are out making snowmen and I watch while enjoying the warmth of the wood stove.

I really don't like driving in snow but....c'est la vie!

 

Life for me has been busy busy busy!!  I think I've lost myself in it all but with God's help and the help of those who care enough to listen, I'll figure it all out eventually.  I miss the routine I had for the last 3 years.  Everything has changed and I'm like a fish out of water, just floundering back and forth trying to get back into the water.  The truth is that the water is right there, it's not that far away but boy does it seem like it.

 

I have to thank my sister for her insight and wisdom.  She sheds alot of light on things for me.  She's the only one in my life who would dare attempt to figure me out, bless her heart!

 

The kids are doing well in school.  My son is taking some time to adjust to some of the everyday goings on in a school environment, like lining up, not running in the class room, you know those kinds of things.  He is doing very well academically, he speaks French very well and is picking up the language with no problem. 

Holly is doing well also.  She's a little on the hyper side and that gets her in a little trouble at times but over all she's doing just fine.

My son, unbeknown to him, makes his ole mom feel special.  He has opportunity to bring extra work home, and when his teacher told him he could work on the extra stuff at school, Brendan told her no, because he wants to do it with his mom.  Isn't that sweet!   All those days of getting frustrated with him, pulling my hair out....and his(jk)  didn't affect him the way I thought they would.  Praise the Lord for His goodness to us.

Brendan was baptized this Sunday past.  He expressed interest in baptism a month or so ago, and he went forward in church one Sunday and told our Pastor he would like to get baptized.  We went through a little book on baptism with him, so he could understand why it is we do that.  He got it!  Holly told us she wants to get baptized when she grows up....we're not sure exactly when that is but Lord willing she'll let us know.

With the snow here, I want to decorate for Christmas.  I love Christmas!

Any way, enough babbaling....

Remember what the Lord told us, "...I will never leave thee nor forsake thee..."

Love reading your blog. You are good at expressing where you are at without being too wordy. To the point, but genuinely sharing. Thanks for the kind words. I don't do much, just get you talking about what you are feeling and you do the rest. Keep your chin up. You are doing a good job. Love you sis.

It sounds like you have been really busy, Lou! I am glad that the kids are doing well in school! Don't worry about feeling like a fish out of water. Your new routine will come, and when it does, you will wonder why you ever doubted! If you ever need another "sounding board" then I am here for you (I realize that I cannot take Cindy's place)!

Love you and miss you!
