Okay, well, it does seem like I have fallen off the face of the earth since May of last year and a whole lot has happened.   Probably too much to catch up on, but here's my stab at it.
Summer  equaled two missions trips for the boys, a week plus at the lake, may trips to the water park, Hannah graduating from high school and getting ready to head off to college, and mom a new job.
Fall equaled Hannah actually leaving for college, starting back to school, starting back to work.
Winter so far has given us  the purchase of a new car for Hannah, and the untimely illness and death of my grandmother, but through all of this God has shown me his GRACE....for providing a job, for giving me the courage to send my firstborn off to school, and for allowing me the precious time to spend with my ailing grandmother and ultimately working to restore family through her death.   I don't know what the spring will hold for us, but one thing is for certain, God is always working for my good no matter what is going on around me.
