Just three weeks into a new year...
and I'm struggling to keep up with my motivation to stay on schedule, feeling a little overwhelmed. In the past 6 weeks we've dealt with the major decision of my son to leave West Point after 18months of grueling challenges (which was after two years of working every day to get in), my MILs scare with an abnormal mammogram (PTL - everything is fine!! no recurrence of lymphoma or any new problems), me passing a kidney stone 3 days before Christmas, regular Christmas and New Year stress and joy, sending my daughter off half-way around the world for 3 weeks and her return, changes in curriculum since her college classes were full, death of one uncle, cancer battle with another, death of a dear friend's father, death of a college roommate of my son's, more diabetes problems with my hubby, several upsetting incidents with our homeschool support group, and then there's laundry, teaching children, grocery shopping and cooking, church nursery and Awanas to help with, college applications and graduation stuff still not completed, taxes to be filed....... Anyway, I know you have a similar list but do you know what? Just writing it all down helps me to understand why I feel tired already! And most of all it helps me see that my Lord knew all these things before they happened - no surprises to HIM!! And I can see how He has prepared me to meet these things, has helped me to deal with each of them, has allowed me to see His Hand in each and every one of them!! Isn't it just mind-blowing to think that the God and Creator and Sustainer of the universe with its millions of stars and minuet atoms and vast power has taken the time and love to worry about these little things in this little life? Amazing. Absolutely amazing. He is ................. I don't know - you fill in the description because it's beyond me!!

I haven't been on here for a while ~can't imagine why ~ so I'm just catching up with your last several posts.
I didn't know that R had moved in with M. What a neat chance for the two of them to grow closer together.
I'm keeping you in my prayers, sister.
