Quick update...it's past my bedtime.
After an entire week on the couch, I went back in to work today. I was mostly told that I still looked quite ill. (yes...that did make me feel so much better...I just wasn't up to eye make up, and since I'm blond that means there's no lashes, and, well...I guess I looked like I felt!)
I just did something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I wrote to my college babies and told them how I was praying for them, and gave them a verse. No, that's not earth shattering, but it has not been consistent, and I want it to be consistent. In fact, I might start a blog just for my kids to read. Do you think they'd do it? Just a mini devotional. Sentences. Quick and to the point.
An old friend dropped in tonight. She and I met when I was four months pg with Joe and her Ryan was just 4 months old. They grew up together, and now they are in college together. She shared her mom's heart with me, and I with her. She also told me of a close friend of hers' loss -- her 18 year old son committed suicide this past week end. She and I cried as we talked about our college boys...and how thankful we are to have them.
You know...there's just too much to pray about.
So...it inspired my prayer,
and my email to my college babies.
I have to keep getting healthy...there's so much work to do...on my knees.

Boy, I can so relate to your blog today. Only with me it is a 16-yr-old daughter ... she struggles with depression, especially at this time of year. Scares me to think what she might do next. Lots of work -- on my knees, just like you mentioned. Bls
ReplyDeleteGracie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are at least able to get out of the house...hope that your body catches up and you start feeling better...
What a great idea...a blog for your kids...I love that so much...I may just have to steal that idea...for a long time each of my girls had a journal that we would write back and forth in...sometimes I would ask them questions and other times I would put in verses or a prayer for them...but over time it has kind of not existed...the idea of using technology and especially since yours are not in close proximity is a great idea.
I will continue to pray that your health returns fully and soon!
