Angel Armies and Prayer Warriors

Sending my daughter to San Antonio for Basic training all alone was so difficult.  Equally difficult is not being able to talk to her and help her through it.  It may appear that to some that she is all alone. It may even feel like that to her at times, but it is so not true.  As my youngest daughter so succinctly said "she has Jesus".  This Friend has an army of angels at His command to strengthen her when she is weak.  She has an army of prayer warriors lifting her name up in their talks with our Savior.  As I cry because I miss her so terribly, I know that God is in control and she is safer there than here because she has followed His plan and He has great things for her.

They ain't all bad

My life has been a whirlwind, sometimes I can't tell which way I should be going.  It seems I can't even go to Target without a melt down.  The word that describes my life right now is bittersweet.  I will start with the sweet.
 My girls are transitioning into wonderful godly women.  They are making great choices and I am very proud.  I just spent a week with a house of young people, friends of my daughters.  A more polite considerate group of kids you wouldn't meet.  They cooked, cleaned and fit comfortably in my home.  They are articulate and spiritually sound.  They have plans to carry the gospel all over the world.  I am blessed to have spent the week with these kids.
Briana will graduate with honors in May.  She is not sure what she will be doing after that.  Pray than she will find the job God has for her.  Andrea will finish next year.  Krista is finishing her junior tennis season and keeping us very busy in the process.
Joanna leaves next week for Basic Training.
Off they go and I look forward to seeing and hearing of all their accomplishments.
