News From The Home Front

Wow, where does time really go; it has been so long since I was able to sit down and write! From school ending to school beginning it's like I lost half a year! Not to mention our High School graduate decides he's ready to be on his own. I now have a wayward child, I never thought I would be saying that in a million years! I know we all have to cut those apron strings eventually, but with three offers to University's and scholarships; I think he was heading in that direction anyway. Unfortunately he is in love, and his judgement is greatly impaired! So, hopefully he will be leaving for college this August and come to his senses. My husband and I love him dearly and only want what is best for him, however, he will have to figure this one out for himself. We will be here for him and know that God is watching over him. Now, don't let me forget we have one left, he will be a senior this year and we will have to wait and see where that goes. Plans are college and sports for the most part.

Well, if the past months haven't been busy enough, and when I say busy I'm not kidding! My husband got seriously ill and landed in the ER on Monday July, 21, 08; he needed immediate surgery for a Sigmoid Colon Obstruction, which the surgical procedure is; repair of incarcerated left Inguinal Hernia. Yeah, that's what I said, and the recovery in his case is slow do to the fact his potassium levels where dangerously low on admittance. He is now home recovering and trying to do too much already. I think the eight days he spent in the hospital weren't enough!

Hey, life throws you a curve ball and all you can do is throw it back! I know because I have faith and God is true to his word, we will all be fine. Keep your faith for times are trying for everyone; and sometimes when it seems there is no way out, lean not on your own understanding and know that he is God!

One of my favorite verses in the bible is Proverb 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths".
