Please indulge me this one post to spill over from one blog to another, especially since my domestic life will include some changes very soon. The plans are to have my mother moved here to my home by January 30, chunks of my day are delegated to making arrangements for this huge task. Yet schooling, laundry and meal preparations are carried on too, without the neglecting of any of the girls' extracurricular activities. I have cooked chicken pastry, (my husband's favorite) and a savory beef stew along with the baking of a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Piano lessons, ballet classes, CC, Latin Club, Church, and every evening play practices have formed the core of my days along with visits with my mother. And I even went by the store and bought a black dress today.
I have peace now. A peace that has eluded me this past year and instead left me feeling like I was drowning in a weighty grief.
I rejoice in His tender mercies and His perfect timeliness.
"I love the LORD because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live."
Psalm116:1-2
Oh, and have I mentioned I covet your prayers?
