It is a mere two weeks until our family will be reunited. So much has gone on in these few months, that it's sometimes amazing to consider where we've been and where we're headed.
Mostly, I think Adam and I both have really just felt God's hand of faithfulness on our family. He's shown so much favor to Adam throughout OCS, He's kept the girls and I safe and healthy, He's drawn us closer to Him, and to eachother. It's easy to look on this time as a reminder of God's sovreignty. There's a lot of peace and rest that comes in knowing He is our provision, our King, our Savior.
We look forward to December - and the months that follow. There are possible changes ahead that I wasn't expecting this soon (like a possilbe move in January) - but I have that litmus test of God's will in the forefront of my mind - and that is being filled with peace in the midst of what should seemingly be turmoil. At tht end of the day, God is still God, and each day is an opportunity to know Him better.
My girls are such a blessing. Bryna is still loving the Marlins Swim Team. She averages about 3 practices a week. Sometimes swimming for an hour and a half. You can imagine how well she sleeps!
Livia just turned three and is always offering me her humorous insight on any given situation.
Although my head is often swimming...or discombobulated - I'm managing. I'm exhausted...but still here. Learning a LOT about contentedness. Also learning to know what to say no to. Priorities take on a whole meaning as a single parent. You really have to pick and choose what gets added or eliminated from the schedule. I seem to learn the hard way, but I'm getting there.
We couldn't do any of this without the INCREDIBLE ongoing suppport of family and friends, and so appreciate all the prayers extended on our behalf. We feel it...and need it!
