God is good ♥

Wow, it is Friday already! I made it back to class and am in routine for school once more. I am missing sleeping in a little longer, but that is the way it will be until summer comes. If all goes well I will be retiring in June, that is the plan!

I look back on last year, and God has been good. So much happened. The blessed thing we made it through was Elizabeth's wedding, and she is now with the love of her life. I pray for their future and that God will walk before Ryan as his plans to re-enlist move forward, and the eventual military career he plans. I pray for God before him to keep him safe.

For the 1st time in all the years we have been married, Dan and I went on a vacation in June for more then 3 days without kids. Seemed really odd to have a family vacation with just the 2 of us. There will be many more coming up. We are planning on driving to Colorado to visit our oldest daughter sometime during the summer or early fall, and possible our youngest daughter - where ever they end up.

There are 3 of us at home now, though Keith isn't here much and would like to move out soon. At 24 that isn't unreasonable on his part. Then we will truly be what is called in this society as empty nesters. Truth is though I feel the lose of their presence, children are meant to grow up and move on, that is a biblical truth. As the beatitudes state there is a time for everything.

Prayfully, the fires in CO. and the floods in Wash. will die down.

God Bless.

Christa,

Isn't it just like life as soon as we are comfortable in it, it changes. May God bless you and your family in the coming year.

Have a great day!
