I love my life.
I cannot believe how much joy I have been feeling since this reformation began. Truthfully, alot of it probably has to do with the fact that I now have help for Lindsay.
Next week the home is having an Open House to welcome her and us to their family. It will be a God day, a prophetic day. I am very excited about it because it is a day to celebrate His miraculous provision. I have to choose to keep looking at it this way, on the days that I really miss her, or worse yet, feel guilty.
Last Friday night, I was not able to get to the home to see her, and so I called her to talk to her. Well, really talk at her, cause she never answers me back.
Its really hard to keep a conversation going on the phone with someone who doesn't make any sounds back!! Anyways, I got off the phone and cried, telling Alyssa how much I missed her. She said, "Mom, lets just go down there then"
I knew this time, I needed not to, because if I did, I would be responding out of guilt, instead of just wanting to. So, I let myself cry, spoke life over myself and chose to reject any feelings of judgement about what kind of mom I was.
Even as I am writing this, somehow the words are really blurry and there is wet stuff on my cheeks. How annoying! How did I get here? I started with saying, I love my life, and now I'm crying! There goes Jehovah sneaky again! It only takes Him a moment to go deep and bring healing. I love that about Him.
I have had the best 7 days, it has been much easier than I expected. Don't you love it that God's power is perfected in our weakness. It really takes all the pressure off, and allows us to just follow and obey His promtings.
I have more to say, but I'll put that on my regular blog.
Keep pressing in team!
Thank You God! You make my life great!

I am so thankful that God has provided such a welcoming home for Miss Lindsay....I am also so thankful that he comforts my friend,... Lindsay's mommy...because I wish I were there to give you a big hug...but I know our God is, and that He is watching over you, just as He is watching over Lindsay.
God Bless all of you, as you continue into this new phase. May He comfort you with an everlasting peace.
Love

Blogging has been great...
I had 5 kids today (plus 1/2) and I've just sent the last one home (I kept my 2).
I almost got judgemental when I thought how nice it would be if I was getting paid...lol...but checked myself and remembered "do unto others...."
SO.....I'm now sitting down and getting a bit of sanity back while the kids are watching a program (first of the day!! WOW!!)lol.
Bless you as you journey with us.
I love you.

It's God's strength that gets us through each and every day. We just notice it more on days like today. Lindsay is ALWAYS in God's care, just as YOU are, that won't ever change. "Trusting God" means we don't have all the answers, but we know that HE does.
I have a CD with the song called "It's OK to Cry." God gave us emotions to express what we are faced with. Another song I have says that tears "wash the windows of our soul." Let them flow. He'll soon wipe them away and replace them with laughter. :o)
God Bless, Cheryl
