Cotty - I know you have been busy...SO MANY changes in your life, and my goodness a journey across the country - and now building a new nest in a new state...Excitement, fear, courage, worry, all that women go through when they are so wrapped up in every member of their family...they can NOT help it. God made us to be relational...Everything we do and touch is somehow tied in to our family. And you have had a lot on your heart and mind besides just a relocation. I am so glad you got to take a time-out to go get a "respite" with family...I have prayed for your dear hubby, for you as the one who supports him, stands by his side shoulder to shoulder... his helper...a TOUGH job sometimes...but God gives us grace and strength for EVERY SINGLE day, because HE already knows the events we will walk through from sunrise to sunset, before we do!. We just always have to ask HIM at the beginning to be there with us..."ASK and ye shall RECEIVE"..The problem with that verse is that so many misinterpret that as a "gimme" verse for stuff or bargaining with God...He meant that He would give all that we needed to make it each day - grace for the moments, and if we get some material needs met because God knew it was necessary, it is double grace! :-) Glad you are about settled in and going to come back and chat in blogland when you can...Hugs to you dear blog sis, and thanks so much for your prayers. You know what it's like to pull up roots and journey far away to a new home! xoxoxo thanks for praying Justin home!!!
