Blogging Revisited

Hello, again!

When I started this blogging experiment, I wasn't sure what I was doing and my mental state left much room for improvement. I'm thinking you picked up on that by my posts! Since it has been a while, I thought I would try again. Who knows? Maybe, I'll even get better at it.

Much has changed in the year since I last posted. First off, my precious little grandson, Samuel Elijah, joined the ranks on February 26th. I have no doubts that God chose to use him and his cousin Elizabeth, as medicine to help heal my heart. And of course, as always, He knew exactly what He was doing! Babies have a healing power for me like nothing else. 

Next big event: the divorce was final August 3rd. I'm sure he thinks he freed himself of me that day. He is mistaken. It will surprise him when he realizes that he isn't free of me, I'm still there; deep inside of his heart. We became one in the eyes of God over thirty years ago and he can't undo that with documents. I am, and always will be, a permanant part of him; like the color of those beautiful eyes I love so much.

The year was difficult in many ways. All of my children and grandchildren lived with me most of the year. As much as I love having them around, having 14-16  of us, (depending on who else popped in) all in one house, was just not a good idea.

I know, you are wondering, how I can have a sense of humor about it? Well, it helps that I am now five months and another state down the road! Yes, that's right, I have moved. But that's another post.

Anyway, as the saying goes, "God never gives us more than we can handle."

         Though sometimes we might like to take issue with that,
                                                        when we are in the middle of the mess!
