As days go by, It is final

so this thing that my family has gone through is finally getting past the hard feelings and the hurt. As the days go by, feelings lessen and acceptance prevails. To make a long story short, I think Dave & I finally decided together that moving on and moving forward is best for our kids. Especially for Krissy. So we do what we can, we move on, and we encourage our children to not be sad about what has happened but rather to rejoice because God is always in control. The grand opening is this Sunday at our church and we will be there.

Soooo I woke up happier than I have ever been. Semester is coming to a close, my article is being published. received my envelope today. JD got a new wardrobe. Me and the kids went shopping. Christmas is almost here and we are looking for a car for Krissy.

I can't believe she will be driving soon, so we are in search of an SUV (small SUV) for her.

Filled out the stuff as we are looking at buying a new house. Who buys a house in December? I know. I may put it off till mid year though. BUT we are definitely buying a bigger home.

This part of our life is done. This has been a wonderful year but we are definitely spending more time on us as a family. We will continue to minister as God calls us and we will help on Sunday mornings in the youth area, Dave possibly may continue Wed. nights with Youth. My schedule is changing and so I will not be available on Wed.s any longer. I also need to balance my load. I will start helping at a shelter. I cannot share where I am working but I am ready to expand my ministry.

I am looking forward to seeing the kids at RLF on Sunday mornings. As the need arises, I will help where they need me. My daughter Michelle said to me: " Mom, who cares" (this is my back bone child)" I want you with me at youth" Thinking about that and not giving her an answer, I say now " I care" and God cares. So that is all that matters.


God has been great-- and as we have learned lessons----- we will grow through them.

It is final that we are moving forward as a family!!
