The last time I wrote, I could not imagine wanting my kids to move out. Well, I still don't want them to move out but I was getting okay with the idea and then wham, she decides not to get married. Now all my plans for her room and the rest of the house went up in smoke. Here I thought I was going to get my house organized and get rid of the pain in the butt cat. But NOOOOOO, the cat is still here and my dining room is still a school room.
Times changes so many things in our lives. So much has happened in the last 9 months. God has showed me that I need to trust Him. Even though I thought I trusted Him completely, I found out that saying you trust Him and really trusting Him are two different things. I have been reminded this year, that God's ways are not our ways. He has a plan and I just need to trust Him. When it is hard, I need to ask Him for help in trusting Him. He loves me and wants to walk with me through life's journey even when I want to jump up and down and throw a temper tantrum and say "Tell me what your plan is NOW". He gently reminds me His ways our not my ways. The Bible says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
Since Shay finalized her breakup, she met a really nice young man. NO, they are not dating. He is just a friend, a really great friend. She is enjoying life right now and focusing on finishing school. I am okay with this for now and just want her to be happy and find the guy God has waiting on her. I am excited that she will be finished with school soon and she will be able to relax and breathe. She has been working full time and going to school full time. She does not have much time for fun, but trust me she squeezes it in somehow. Shay is a great young woman. I am very proud of who she is and what she has accomplished with her life. I don't tell her enough, but I know she knows how proud I am of her.
Next time, I will update you on Sierra.....
