I do enjoy writing, but this phase of my life has been difficult. My blog has been more of a diary....random and without direction, kind of like my life without the kids.
Ah, the kids. Briana is still in Boone. She is very well established personally and professionally. If find it interesting that she serves in her church nursery, something she grew up doing. I love visiting her. I love that she is surviving on her own. While I miss her being home, seeing her smile and benefitting from her support, I am very proud of the woman she has become and I do not say it often enough.
Andrea is a wife. She is busy building a home with her husband. Jeff is most definitely a gift from God; an answer to two decades of prayer. I am glad that she is close and I can experienced the joy first hand. Watching them makes me smile as I fondly remember similar experiences in my life.
Joanna is working diligently to finish her degree. She amazes me with her ability to finish her work at the stroke of midnight. She also has her own place and is surviving well without mom and dad. She is a joy to those around her. She is a source of help to many.
I am writing on a highway in Illinois. We are driving Baby Krista to St Louis. I still can't believe she went to college so far away...AND wants to return. I did not think she would survive. She didn't just survive, she thrived all alone, without parents or sisters. She makes me proud
Jimmy is driving the car, in the rain, at night in very unfamiliar territory. For almost 30 years he has been leading our family as he follows God. He is more than I ever deserved and I email grateful
I am not sure what direction my blog will take, or even if anyone will read it....but my goal is to establish a new purpose for my life and hopefully that will be reflected in my blog
