life right now is chugging away and we are well. we are trying to find our footing and our way in unchartered territory but that's okay. this week is a doozy. it has some big decision making as well as my first days of school in quite a while and that is both exciting and petrifying. i received my big fat biology textbook in the mail today which makes it all a little more real. yikes! i'll be dusting off this old brain and firing her up again....hopefully without too many sputters:)
the children seem to be doing well. they are resilient but certainly not unaffected by their circumstances. i believe that they are surrounded by angels that are there because they are loved and because i and so many others pray for them constantly. while they occasionally show symptoms of stress, we are making our way and trying our best and relying on our heavenly father each and every day.
i know that angels are real. that may sound strange because i have never seen one although i have believed in them all my life. i have, however, learned to recognize the feel of their ministering hands in my life. i feel their protection, i feel their love, and mostly, i feel their ministering when i am close to exhaustion and emotional and feel like i can't go on. i have felt hands lifting me and my strength being restored and renewed. i have felt my mind being enlightened with understanding, knowledge, or pure truth. angels are proof of god's love in my life.
angels remind me that these struggles along the way are not my home and that they are part of the journey to my real home.
