Good morning world! I've been looking at this blank page for a few days now. Decided to go ahead and start writing again. A whole lot has happened in two years time.
God is so good! I now have a daughter! Follow Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. I seemed destined to have sons. I have longed for a daughter for years! I am, as of July 10, 2019, the proud parent of a big bouncing 15 yr old girl. She is 16 now. And I should have said WE have a daughter. Our family of 5 is now our family of 6. My boys are now 21, 20, and 19. The 19 yr old is now back home again for a while. The two older boys have been moved out for some time.
We have traveled the road of having kids messing with drugs and that lifestyle. All the while fighting for them in as many ways as possible, praying and other ways. As far as I know for now, no one is using drugs. And when I say drugs, I include the use of pot, weed, marijuana. Apparently, I age myself with the terms I use.
A couple of years ago, we stopped fostering. That was the right decision for us. It was right for a season. The result? Our daughter!
We still live on our small farm. We still have a business of HVAC and appliance repair. I'm still me.
A little older... not sure about the wiser. So I guess some things have not changed. Rereading this I did not say things have changed, just that a lot has happened.
God is still in control. That NEVER changes. During all the circumstances, God is still good! I am still breathing. Still able to walk, talk, move! I am blessed beyond measure! I have a wonderful family, immediate and extended. I have a wonderful church family. I, I, I, I....... believe none of this would be possible with out God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit!
Is my family perfect? Nope. I'm not perfect, forgiven. Just saved, covered by the blood of Jesus!
Things still happen. Life goes on.....
Be blessed and be a blessing!
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
