Keeper Of the Home
• May. 12, 2008 - Starting Over....
Well, time for yet another update on my life. I finished my 2 weeks training at the Dawn of hope and now am working in a classroom everyday from 8-4pm...with Mentally handicapped adults. I also moved into a really beautiful 3 bedroom house on Saturday. It pretty much took the entire day to get everything that is mine moved out. I have everything moved in now and almost everything put away in my new house. Once I get a picture I will post it. It has 3 bedrooms(really large bedrooms with HUGE walk in closets!!!), 2 full baths, a kitchen, dining room and living room with a fireplace. It has hardwood floors throughout and tile in the kitchen and bathroom. It looks like a doll house on the inside. I have never lived in such a pretty house in my life.
Moving Saturday was very emotional for me...I would still rather be at home with my husband and children. At present I am still only allowed to see my children on Sundays from 2-4pm. Two hours a week is just not enough....my heart just breaks from missing them so much. And in spite of everything, I still love my husband so much. And I still sleep with one of his shirts wrapped around me, sprayed with his cologne at night. I miss him holding me at night more than anything. Thank you so much to everyone who has left me a comment...your prayers are keeping me going through all this. Please pray for my husband to have a change of heart....that he would want us to get back together....and also pray that if this is not what the Lord would have for me that I could still go on with my life. I need that peace so much. Another prayer request...I really need two sets of full size mattresses,,,pray the Lord would somehow provide those for me...so I can have my children! Thank you so much everyone!

I have just lost my husband also, but mine was killed in a head-on collision on Mother's Day. The two trucks exploded and were engulfed in flames, Elgin's body was burned beyond recognition. My children had no body to bury, so, closer is hard for them right now. So, I know the pain that your heart is feeling.
Like you, God has blessed me and my girls. I've had 2 different people offer to give me a house--free, free utilities, free food and a free car. One house is in Louisiana, and the other is in Tennessee.
I sleep with my husband's robe in my arms. It still has his cologne smell on it. Each night I tell God, .....God, you allowed my husband to be taken from me, so you're going to have to wrap me in your arms, and comfort me. You're going to have to heal my heart, cause I want my husband back right now, it hurts so bad God, you're going to have to heal me. I didn't believe that Elgin was gone, but I now know that it's true, cause if he was still alive, he would of come back home to me by now, so, as of this day, I will pray with my whole heart, that God WILL send your husband back home to you.
