It has been a shorter week this week, but also I just seem to keep coming up with things that are more important than getting down to business with this house, and the stuff that overflows. However, they ARE important - - a child acting out in a big way (and I mean BIG) because his mental state is not stable, which of course requires conversations with all his professionals... a broken retainer for another child... the start of Bible Study (and this SHOULD come before things), and just the need for family time and relaxation (we sat down and watched a movie together Saturday night, for the first time since moving to this house in May).
Somehow (being very honest here) I am feeling sadness from so much loss of late - - loss of my mom almost a year ago, loss of my Uncle Bob in June, and loss of another part of our family's lives that really was very dear to us, as well of trying to curb any further problems with a child that will result in loss of dreams, both ours and his for him. I know that God is there... and I know all this is in His plan. I also know He will fill me, and all of my family, with so much more than we can ever possibly imagine. I hope for many quiet days as fall settles in that will allow me time with Him (as I also shovel out stuff, that complicates our lives rather than enhances them) so that I can clearly see where He is taking us.
