Multiplication THOUGHTS!

I hear that five, yes you read it right, five more grandchildren are being added to our family! Yeah, Kara and Jason. Much prayer will be needed, but much grace will be given. Ages 3 to 14, adoption sometime late 2011.

Thoughts about Momma!

Today marks one year since my Mom went to live in Heaven. I miss her more than I could have ever imagined. Her voice is one of the things I miss the most. I also miss her unconditional love. She loved me and the call of God upon my life; she championed the missionary in me like no other. While I miss her, I am extremely grateful that God was merciful and did not allow her to linger here on earth in mental torment. Her mind digressed rapidly during the last few weeks and she retreated deeper and deeper within her confusion. God is healing my memories and I am thankful I have had HIM to walk with through this past year. Good friends have stood with me through the mourning process and I delight in the provision of a truly just Heavenly Father. God is good and does all things well, I trust in HIS ways and I delight in HIS never ending mercies. I am delighted HE made it possible for me to honor my Mom and her wishes right up to the end. Momma, I miss you but I know you are waltzing around the throne of the God you taught me to love.
